Today was to be the beginning of the last leg of our trip to Hotel Forum, but a detour came about when Jessica's white blood count jumped from a "too low to do the pericardial window procedure safely", to a "too high to do the pericardial window procedure safely"! In addition, she's developed a bit of a fever and is being given more antibiotics for that. So nothing is scheduled as of yet but that can change at any time.
On Saturday Jess had another CT scan done, for the lung doc's to clearly see how much fluid remains there, the heart doc's for the same reason of the heart and the surgeon to see exactly what he's dealing with when the surgery does take place. Update on the tumor - no change. I see that as a very positive sign. Although only one chemo has taken place, and for the rate that the tumor has grown in 3 months - this means that in 2 weeks time it did NOT grow at all! This is a great thing!!
So please keep the prayers coming! Even with the bumps in the road, they are surely doing a wonderful job!!
