It has been the absolute worst week so far. And it started out so good. After the chemo on the 2nd, things were all looking up. My appetite was getting even better and my weight was climbing.
It was so good, I had no trouble ignoring the declining SPO2 number. Friday night, the weight was 138.0, but getting over 95% was iffy.
Saturday, I felt like the chemo fect was kicking in abd wa increasingly short of breath.SPO 91-95 at the best.
Sunday was more shortness of breath with much coughing. When I could cough up a wad of phlegm, I could get SPO up to 95-95. but the genrral feeling was rotten.
Call pneumanologist Monday.From the CT on 4/24, He dcides to drain some fluid off the left lung, so off to outpatient surgery. That int no fun, nd the rest of Monday, The situation seems to go further south.
Check into the hospital Tuesday morning and get the dagnosis; Pneumonia. This is the signature of this cancer. Pneumonia, again and again until one of them kills you.
We got this one stoppped, and I came back home this morning. I'm still short of breath, but spo is 95-98.
Fridays 138 Was 130 on Monday. When I got home today, I am at 134.3, so that is the nw starting point.
