3 Sept - No Chemo This Week
Sarah went for treatment yesterday and go her weekly Herceptin but no chemo. Her body is still too weak and she's not yet fully recovered from the C. Diff. infection. As we look back and do more research, it's possible that most of Sarah's recent symptoms can be explained by the C. Diff., which is actually good news since we know that it is treatable. C. Diff. is a tough infection to shut down completely, but with several longer courses of a certain antibiotic it should go away (which she is taking now) - and Sarah should be able to gain some strength back and recover her Albumin level and blood counts. We'll have to be patient. Hopefully next week if her gastro process is working better we can get her a chemo treatment.

it is good to have some explanation on what has been causing the unexplained symptoms. hope the C diff clears up soon!
Hi guys,
Been thinking of you as always. My mom had a terrible case of c. diff after a Whipple procedure and again after a bowel operation. (She also has a compromised immune system) Its a bear to get rid of completely but she did find that a "dietary" approach helped. Let me know if you want me to forward you any information she gained from her experience.
love to you all,
Jen Schildge
Hope you have had a relaxing weekend and are starting to feel better,
Jessica
