On Sunday, Analise developed some type of limp from her left leg/hip. She didnt act or say she was in pain, but it was worrisome nevertheless. We took her to be seen by her oncologists on Monday. During their examination of her, we began to worry that this could be that the tumor was affecting her spine or that this was neurological…. Both her neurologist and Dr Salvi ruled out both, but ordered an xray, ultrasound and MRI to verify. We stayed for the xray and ultrasound. Thank GOD, it appears to be fluid buildup that can be from the steroids she is administered during her chemo treatments.
Monday was a rollercoaster. Tuesday would be a long day as well for Analise’s MRI. The worst part of MRI day is that Ana has to stop eating 8hrs before and no fluids within a couple hrs of the test. What also complicates her MRI is she has to be sedated, hence the no drinking/eating rules. Her MRI’s last between 4-5 hours.
After she woke, she wanted milk and Doritos. After she was pretty alert, we headed home. Results to come this week.
Friday, we have chemo, so she’s going to be pretty pissed off when we wake her up early again this week.
Please keep her and everyone else sick in your prayers. Stay positive and God Bless.
