very early sunday i woke up with a fever of 103.9. my oncologist had me admitted to the hospital that morning.
i have pneumonia, though of what type they’re not yet certain. immunosuppressed patients don’t exhibit symptoms the way an otherwise healthy one would. i have no telltale cough, just a fever that gets really high. they’re doing lots of tests and once my fever is under control i should be able to go home.
this is definitely going to disrupt my chemo schedule, about which i’m none too happy. it shouldn’t push it back more that a few days. my oncologist thinks it will be less than a week.
i’m really tired and very medicated, but i wanted to get something up here! i’ll try to keep you posted, and in timely fashion.
