Fevers Continue and Surgery Scheduled

I am still experiencing fevers off and on each day. I had blood drawn for cultures yesterday and they showed no growth. I guess this is good news - but I still don't have an answer why I am still getting fevers. I just got off the phone with the nurse at the cancer center and she is calling in an antibiotic in hopes that they can get me feeling better before my next chemo (Monday, July 13).

We had a productive day visiting with my radiation oncologist and my breast surgeon. If I can stay on track with my chemo, I will be having my left side mastectomy the week of Labor Day and start 6 1/2 weeks of radiation therapy 2-3 weeks later. I am so ready for this to all be done!!!!

We are all hoping those antibiotics work & you start feeling better!
We love you & want you well. Keep on fighting mom. This will be over with before you know it. The end seems to be out of reach, but it's coming. Take it one day at a time. You'll get there.

Love you,
Julie
