Tracey had a headache last night, a sort of muzzy feeling and her temperature started to rise 38.5, 38.6, 38.7. She followed protocol, rung the cancer ward and by 9:00 we were in A&E. Tracey will, I am sure, tell you full story but bloods were taken, she is like a pin cushion, doctors should let nurses take bloods they are so much better. Her temperature started to go down and after waiting and waiting she was taken up to the William Budd ward at around 2:00. This is part of the cancer suite. So she has had an overnight stay. the blood test reveal that her neutrophils are at zero leaving her open to infection. This is apparently not uncommon for people on the first dose of this protocol. She will now have to have IV antibiotics. I am not sure how long her stay will be but she is in her own isolated room to avoid further infection. I will keep you all posted.
Well this post was going to be all about me and bike rides with Adam and Vaughan's rugby boots and Livi's new ring, but I will save that for another day.
