Re: Hello NEW Member Looking for info

We're 15 days out on the second chemo treatment and still learning this nightmare.
My sister is having a hard time with this/today she was diagnosed with two blood clots in her jugular/clavicle near her infected port. Put on daily, self administered blood thinning shots Lovenox at $100 apiece.
Spiking fever and sores all over her body that leak pus - all being treated by MRSA fighting antibiotic at this point - waiting on MRSA result - early petrie stage looks negative.

Her 5, 6 and 7 days seem to be the really bad days in the 3 week (21 day) cycle but this second time round just when we were expecting relief in the third week (like in her first chemo experience) BAM this hits. She gets really discouraged and weepy at times. Doctor is on two week MI vacation and nurse practitioner says no need to take port out.

Lots of trouble with diarrhea throughout program and treating painful hemorrhoids. White blood cell count at 10 then 6 after 2nd treatment on July 1 then 5.9 yesterday - am I right to see trouble coming?
