So we made it to the hospital this morning and everything checked out ok for Alisa to start another cycle of BioChemo. We will be here through Friday (at least).
Alisa doesn't remember much of the last time we were here. In fact, she doesn't remember much of January.
The inflammation in her lung was some random virus (or something) that Dr. Grossman didn't think was very serious, but needs to be treated with some very specific antibiotics, which she started today.
Dr. Grossman basically started today by telling us that there are some risks with this round of chemo. Starting chemotherapy with an infection, not recommended. Starting chemo while not in the best of health, not ideal. But he also said, the bigger risk is the tumor, and we need to attack it with everything we have. So here we go.

ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear they figured out what was going in with Alisas lungs! Hopefully the antibiotics will take care of the infection and the chemo will take care of the tumor! Lots of prayers as always!
ReplyDeleteAlthough Alisa doesn't remember much from January, it is good that you are documenting things, Josh, so that she can look back and realize all she has conquered.
