my wife was to have her last of 4 a/c sessions today, but she developed an infection from mastectomy/post surgical/maybe implant??? or maybe only skin tissue. so they've delayed chemo for about 4 days to try to get antibiotics to tackle it. she's been on one kind of antibiotic for 3 days, but still getting fever, so they added an additonal anti-bi today.

Man is this stuff never ending or what?

I'm impressed with how much you all manage to cope with and keep going. I'm also impressed with spouses, etc who help keep in going too.

one day at a time, huh?
