He's In the Hospital
Dave had his VP16 chemo this afternoon at the SCCA. It's a tough chemo and made him quite sick. He developed a fever so the hotel shuttle took us to the Univ. of Washington Hospital. His chest x-ray was clear and so was his urinalysis. They took blood cultures, but we don't have the results yet. The oncologist said that sometimes if the cancer is dying it can break off and cause fevers, which can be a good sign. When I left him, he was drinking lots of water and giving his nurse a hard time. I'll let you know more as soon as I do.

Just wanted to say hi and that I'm thinking about you and I'll be saying a prayer for you shortly. Be sure to tell Dave hi from Bernie and Dorothy Robinson, (my parents). Have you heard how hot it has been here in Kalispell? It is hard to keep cool. Wish we could save some of this heat for next winter...God Bless, Toni
ReplyDeleteI think Dave will be happy to be in the hospital that VP16 is nasty stuff. It seems to cause most of the post chemo symptoms. I also got Dave a card I think he will enjoy. I loved it. GlenH
