Cancer SUCKS!

Sister here reporting on the latest events in the journey...Teri went to work at Safeco on Sunday and Monday and then tried to work again on Tuesday. Keep in mind that she had her second Chemo treatment and a blood transfusion on Thursday and Friday before. At about 8:30, we sent Teri home from Safeco whereas she blazed a fever and pretty much crashed physically. She ended up calling the doctor made it through the night and was instructed to see her oncologist the next morning (today Aug. 13).

Upon drawing blood, and listening to Teri's lungs, it was determined that her Red blood cell count was too low, she still had a fever and she would be admitted to St. Francis. So myself, Mom, Dad and Joey treked on over to Fed Way and got her set up at the hospital. Needless to say, she is very irritated with having to be admitted much less having to stay until Saturday at the earliest. BUT, we should be thankful that Dr. K is treating this as a possible infection situation and is taking NO chances. Because of Chemo treatments, Teri is very suseptible to infection.

Again she appreciates all of your support, thoughts, prayers, cards, notes etc. She can have visitors of course but please...no one with colds, flu, or just not feeling well...we need to be sterile and cautious!

Thanks ahead for everything! Teri sends her love!
