Lisa has gradually been feeling worse over the last few days -- especially at night -- and thinks that the steroids aren't necessarily helping, but actually cause her to cough more, which is quite painful for her, magnified by her other symptoms from the cancer. Tonight she is feeling especially poorly and running a 100.4 degree fever, which certainly contributes to it.
Chemo is scheduled for tomorrow, but because of the way she's feeling, she'll be getting a chest x-ray first, and then seeing the doctor after her usual blood tests rather than going straight to the chemo treatment as originally scheduled. Thankfully Lisa didn't get nausea as a side effect of the chemo, but we don't know if these other worsening symptoms are from the chemo complications, or if they're from the cancer itself.
