Latest update.

Chandy's third treatment was a little over a week ago and she's doing well.

It was a little more difficult on her than the other two. The first couple of days weren't bad at all and we thought that maybe she was going to breeze through it. It hit her a little later than usual and she was pretty sick and achy over the weekend. Thankfully she weathered the storm well and now she's feeling a lot better.

We even went to the gym on Monday together and got in a good workout.

She has been having more trouble with the seroma in her right armpit where her lymph nodes were extracted. You may remember that she's had it drained a number of times. The last time she had it drained was before Christmas and so we thought we were out of the woods. The lump has never gone away but it wasn't causing her much discomfort or pain so the plan was to wait until her next reconstructive surgery in a few months and have it taken out then.

The past couple of days it has bothered her. Her fingers go numb and her arm feels "congested", or kind of "heavy". She's not sure how to exactly describe it. Last night it started to bother her even more and she didn't get a wink of sleep.

She had her NADIR appointment today so I called Dr. Ferguson this morning as soon as his office opened and made arrangements to take her to see him before her other appointment. Dr. Ferguson drained the seroma again and was encouraged to see that the amount of fluid has been dramatically less. It looks like the problem is improving.

Chandy's arm felt better almost immediately.

Her NADIR appointment went great. Her blood was tested again and it all looked good. She continues to tolerate the treatment well.

She's crashed now trying to make up for losing an entire nights worth of sleep.
