update on Chris (crecco)

[butterflytc]

Just got a call from Chris, she is in the ER. Apparently she was to have a scan done on her back, but when she went in they decided to scan her lungs for fluid. She said they found alot of fluid and may need to drain..cell phone did not have great reception, so not sure if still doing scan on her back or not. She was not sure if she would be kept in hospital or not.  Will update again when she calls back.
Take care

Tc, you and Chris are just the nicest women, always thinking of everyone else. I pray that the biopsy comes back infection only and that the antibiotics clears it up. So glad that she saw her own doctor and that he sent her home.There is no place like home. Thank you for updating us and hopefully we will see Chris online again soon! Many hugs, Colleen

Thanks for the wonderful job of keeping us updated, especially knowing you aren't feeling all that great.  I'm glad you are feeling a bit better slowly but surely!  I also hope Chris feels like coming on and posting soon, too, but it's understandable if she doesn't for a day or two.  I'm keeping both of you in my prayers along with the rest of the cheering section!  

Love,
Gail

What a relief. When you wrote that she wanted to send her love to everyone, I got all choked up. How precious that even in her own pain, she wants to reach out to others. Thanks for the update. I hope she has a quiet, restful weekend and gets only good news on Monday.

I sympathize with your coughing fits. I've been sick for the past week and it triggered my asthma. All that coughing and wheezing really tires a person out. Keep resting, drink plenty of fluids and call me in the morning. LOL

I passed on all your well wishes to Chris, and she asked me to come back in and update you all with a bit of good news. She said to tell all of you "I love you all, and appreciate knowing that all of you are behind her". She is very tired, but will be going back to her own home this evening, and will try to come online herself. Until then she asked me to let you all know what Dr. Floyd had to say..
   She does not need to go in today and drain the other lung, as he feels the fluid is not bad on that side. He has put her on an antibiotic, just in case, until they determine the biopsy of the fluid collected in the one lung. (in case it is just an infection). He personally did not feel the lumps or fluid were as bad, as the hospital in her home town did, and wants to wait for the biopsy results to come in, as well as see and talk to Chris in person on Monday morning. Needless to say, Chris is much more relieved after speaking with her own doctor, and is anxious to see him on Monday, and get the results of the fluid biopsy. She is very tired, and sore, but is feeling much better now that the fluid is off her one lung. Obviously I am thrilled she has spoken to her own chemo nurse, and doctor. Hopefully she can rest a bit easier now that he has put her mind a bit more at ease about the whole thing. She will talk to you all personallly very soon, so this will be my last update for her, unless anything changes in between. I am just glad to hear her voice, and the relief she now feels. Hopefully Monday will bring more good news, and the antibiotics will take care of this, and she can continue her battle with chemo.
Love to all

P.S Thank you to those of you who sent me private messages, and notes concerning my own health..I am doing so much better now that the pnuemonia, has cleared. I have finished the antibiotic treatments, and am battling the last of the bronchitis that is lingering. Mostly just tired of coughing lol
    I hope I answered all of your concerns Irene? and to bebe..Chris does not feel the collapse of discs is connected to the cancer or not? but will ask her doctor on Monday.
I do know from personal experience (I also have collapsed discs in my spine) mine was not connected to the cancer itself, but to degenerative joint disease. Hope it helps, but talk to your doctor about this, and see what he recommends for you personally
