Well, so much has happened, and yet so little. It took all day to get ahold of the cardiologist, and now I’m going to see him in the morning. For some reason, I had a fever today, so now the oncologist thinks I probably have a bug and that’s why I’m so weak. They changed my antibiotic to something super strong. Then they called back and said they read my labs a second time and realized my sodium was extremely low (to the point where most people would be hospitalized), and that I need to cut my fluids way back to a liter and a half a day--so much for “flushing out the bug.” My heart rate was quite high yesterday in the hospital, so they put me on something to bring it down. It seems to be working. We decided to hold off on chemo this week and start round 13 next week. I know it’s confusing. I’ll update after I see the cardiologist and maybe I’ll have some answers. Thanks for the prayers, everyone!
