After another great day yesterday, Niamh had a bad night. She had trouble getting herself comfortable to sleep. By the time morning came she was unsettled and very tired.
She had the ct scan at 10.30am and then we went to the oncology clinic as planned. Her temperature then was 37.5. Within a couple of hours it had spiked to 38.4. She seemed very unwell. Not the Niamh we have been used to over the last few days.
As she is not neutropenic at the moment and all her wounds are healing well they decided to give her paracetamol (at 2pm) and wait till the evening to decide whether she will need antibiotics or not. We have been admitted into ward 6 in our own private room (no beds available in ward 15). She has just gone to sleep. Temperature at 6.30pm was 37.5. Hmmm, possibly on the up again unfortunately.
The ct scan was good. It still shows a bit of fluid on each side but a lot less than before and it is not causing pressure so fine for now.
The oncologist would like to start cycle 4 tomorrow. She can still start cycle 4 even if she is on antibiotics.
