No chemo today.  Lisa is still anemic, and though her blood chemistry is adequate, it's not ideal.  However, the main reason for not giving chemo is that Lisa appears to still have an infection of some kind that the antibiotic infusions have not taken care of.  A chest x-ray today shows that there may be a bit more occlusion (blockage) in one lung area.  This may be caused by some tumor growth, but in any case, a blockage of this type can make antibiotics less effective on the area behind the blockage which can not properly 'drain'.

Lisa will get a chest CT scan tomorrow, which will provide a more detailed look at the area.  She will see a pulmonary specialist on Friday (the one that originally diagnosed her cancer), and a cardio-pulmonary surgeon for a consult on Tuesday to evaluate her for another laser bronchoscopy (a sort of laser roto-rooter that can clear out blockages if they're in the larger bronchial branches.
