25 June - Back In Hospital

Well, it's been quite a week and now Sarah is in the hospital. Yesterday we got the results of her MRI. Overall it was good news since the big solitary liver tumor was not visible (although quite a few small ones were there) so it seems that Abraxane is doing some good. But despite that, Sarah has been gradually feeling worse and her doc thought it might be her stent that needs replacing, so we set up a procedure for next Monday to have it replaced. Because of that she also didn't get chemo again yesterday. Today her wandering body temp kicked in again and she got up to almost 103 plus she had some nausea. Since that's higher than it has been and she basically stayed in bed all day, her doc told her to go to the hospital. So she's been admitted and they are going to try and figure out why she has an elevated temp. The ER doc decided to run a port culture to see if it was infected - that would definitely explain the elevated temperatures Sarah has been running for over a month. She got a whole battery of other tests in the ER so we'll see what they show.
