- I'm home! I'm home I'm home I'm home! *flop* I sleep until Monday now. Hospital sleep deprivation is crazy evil. 12:37:08, 2014-03-08
- Just saw doctor. All tests/cultures still negative. They're releasing me, yay! No rush, of course. #StupidHumanSuit #CopingWithCancer 09:54:40, 2014-03-08
- Also, being taken off most of antibiotics I'm on. Should be released tomorrow. Rah! #StupidHumanSuit 20:10:55, 2014-03-07
- ALL cultures & test results came back negative, so diagnosis now is JUST flare-up, with the nodules in lungs being inflammation. 20:10:26, 2014-03-07
- Steroid injection totally did the trick. All my numbers are dramatically better. Don't need a transfusion. Talk of releasing me soon. 10:29:32, 2014-03-07
- Diagnosis is now an opportunistic lung infection AND a flare-up. Got a steroid shot last night and at last, no fever. #NotAnEpisodeOfHouse 07:45:50, 2014-03-07
- We have a preliminary diagnosis. Chest CT & x-ray showed numerous nodules in lungs.Fungal infection likeliest. Targeted treatmnt to commence 15:59:33, 2014-03-06
- My hemoglobin counts are way low. So low I might need a transfusion. They keep drawing HUGE vials of blood for more testing. Anemia paradox! 12:28:03, 2014-03-06
- Fever crested 104F again. Applying ice packs now. Going to be a long night. #CopingWithCancer 23:01:10, 2014-03-05
- Still having terrible fevers. Last night hit over 104F briefly. Chest CT scan done, lotso labs drawn. Waiting for results. #CopingWithCancer 19:06:28, 2014-03-05
- Always find it hard enough sleeping in hospitals but seems like every time I managed to nod off last night, a nurse would come in. 🙁 07:27:36, 2014-03-05
- Not neutropenic but doctor doesn't know what's causing the fever spikes, so in case it's an infection, being admitted to the hospital. Again 15:23:14, 2014-03-04
- At Emory with @MatthewMFoster, waiting on lab results to come in. Of course, my fever broke in the car on the way here. #CopingWithCancer 12:15:50, 2014-03-04
- Fever breaking so not heading to the ER. Going to Emory tomorrow to have labs done, means not going in to work, dammit. #CopingWithCancer 01:17:47, 2014-03-04
- Fever spiked to nearly 104F. Shouldn't still be neutropenic so think this round of chemo triggered a flare-up. Talking to on-call doctor now 00:58:36, 2014-03-04
- Crossover day at work. Managed a-ok until fever spiked. Now heading home with @MatthewMFoster all tuckered out and dizzy. #CopingWithCancer 18:37:49, 2014-03-03
