A bad evening turned into a bad night that continued into a bad morning, but thankfully by around noon it started to get a bit better. This afternoon Lisa had a chest x-ray, which showed no change since the last one, and had her ultrasound, which confirmed no blood-clot problems. The doctor doesn't know if Lisa's fever last night and this morning was a reaction to the blood transfusion (which happens sometimes) or just delayed post-chemo side-effects (which happens often).
Lisa did have her white cell booster shot, and doesn't have any treatments or doctor's visits scheduled until Tuesday of next week, when she may get the iron treatment. Lisa's "reserve" iron count is ok, but her "free iron" count is very very low, which is a bit unusual but not unheard of. The proposed treatment is Injectafer.
