More of the same, except the bone pain from the immune booster shot has passed.. The cough is worse, there's some wheezing in her breathing,  fatigue comes on quickly with very little activity, there's pressure and sometimes pain in the chest, she sometimes has a rapid heart rate that's uncomfortable, and nausea comes and goes.  Headaches and the ongoing earache add to it all.

Next week is a big week. Tuesday:   CT scan and bone scan with contrast dye, which together will take up most of the day, but then we also have an appointment with a ear/nose/throat doctor late in the afternoon for Lisa's now chronic earache. Wednesday:  Blood work and we get the results from the scans in an appointment with the primary oncologist, followed by an appointment with the radiation oncologist,  Thursday:  Unless the scans show miraculous improvement (please!), the chemo will be started again, and we'll also start the radiation regime which will be every day for at least five weeks, maybe as long as seven weeks.

As bad as the cough is, and now that there's wheezing, we may also be scheduling Lisa for another laser bronchoscopy to see if that will give her some relief.
