Loose Strife

We met with the onc this afternoon for a follow-up because the doctor was concerned about Laura on Friday being so uncomfortable.  But the anti-nausea drug seems to be working OK.
The onc noticed that Laura’s cough is back and she detected more fluid in her lungs.  So Laura went back to the hospital this afternoon for another chest xray to compare with the one from last week.  She’ll discuss with one of her surgeons tomorrow, when she happens to have a post-op appointment.  If there’s a lot more fluid, then they might consider putting in a catheter drain.
Laura’s exhausted again.  I’m pretty sure the radiation is causing the fatigue.  She’s back in bed — actually back in the recliner.  She’s been sleeping in the recliner for over a week because of back pain.
