Finally going home. Missed our anniversary but will be home for Sofia's birthday!!!!!
No conclusive reason for the fever, but we'll be changing my chemo regimen for the next round: lessening the Epirubicen dose, possibly eliminating the 5FU infusion on Friday and eliminating Neulasta.
Some possibilities for the fever are:
1. Japanese and Chinese women have a particular enzyme that makes it difficult for the body to process the Epirubicen
2. In very rare cases, the Nuelasta shot cases fevers in the following week after injection
Either way with the adjustments for the next regimen hopefully I won't end up in the hospital again.
Thank you all for your supportive emails, calls, text messages. Your love and encouragement has helped me get through this last week.
