Last night, I had a reaction to yesterday's Filgrastin injection and Greg had to call the on-call HiCy specialist. I had a rash, a slight fever, headache and dizziness. Also (as they had warned me) the bones in my legs were painful from the "growth factor." CVS gel packs (frozen) usually used for back pain, alleviated most of the leg pain. Today at IPOP, I got some really upsetting news. Since I have a fever of unknown origin, they are readmitting me to the hospital. I was really loving the hotel food and I won't even begin to compare the disgusting grub that passes as food at the hospital. I will be given high doses of broad spectrum antibiotics that can't be taken by mouth. After my fever subsides for 24 hours I can return to the hotel.

Hi Joan, Sorry to hear your back in the hospital with that horrible food - it must be pretty bad. Keep eating the peanut butter & jelly! Hopefully you'll be well and back to the hotel very soon. Sounds like most of your treatment is running on schedule, except for the rash & fever. I miss you and hope to talk with you soon. Stay strong and positive (which I know you already are).
Love,
Marion
