Day 111 post transplant

OK - visited the oncologist last night and he gave us good news. The swelling is probably due to the 24 days of antibiotics Adele had in the past weeks, ending only around two or three days before she noticed the swelling. He asked her about any antibiotics she had recently and she forgot that she had just finished them. I spoke up and he immediately was asking about how long and which did she take. He thumped and prodded her, and said gas is what it is. Prescribed Beano or GasX to relieve it. I ran out so I guess we need to get some today.

Also he talked about a CAT scan, and that the end of May would be the right time (2 months from last scan) to do it. So we will have some more blood testing (going to every 2 weeks in June) and a Cat scan, and then see him at the end of May again.

I believe this was the best news we could have asked for. Not only did he surmise what the cause was, but also that it is a minor disturbance for Adele. We both felt relieved as we drove home last night. Made more beef, mashed potatoes and gravy for supper and had a good evening at home.

Thanks to all who are praying for her - it is working!
