Weds -Fever ! Infections!

Deb consults with the APN about the infections and treatments needed. She had fevers last night even while taking strong antibiotics via infusers.

The APN's decided that the risk of a life-threatening infection was great enough that they gave her new strong antibiotics all day and sent home infusers for me to change out at 4:30 pm, 9 pm, midnight, and 4 am. Hopefully, they will do the job and tomorrow will be better.

A classmate who has had excellent results with Carfilzomib which Deb is no longer taking told me today that he has been asked by the drug company to go to a FDA meeting in Washington, DC in  June for the approval hearings. Hopefully this new drug will become available to folks around the world.

The thesis behind all the treatments for cancer here is that all people are different and react to meds differently. Genetics are used to determine what drugs help each individual and all helpful drugs are combined in a very aggressive drug protocol. No peashooters: just cannons!
