I started feeling bad on Thursday and terrible on Friday. I got hives everywhere starting yesterday morning. Benadryl wasn’t working. Zyrtec wasn’t working. I couldn’t stay awake. I felt like my throat was starting to close up, experiencing chest pain and body aches, so Jeff drove me to urgent care this morning. They gave me more Benadryl, a breathing treatment, steroids, and EpiPens. I came home and slept most of the day again.

I’m finally feeling awake enough to type out an update. It was going okay until it wasn’t. I’m staying home tomorrow to rest and manage this. We are still supposed to have the port placement early morning on Tuesday.

    Rose, thanks for the update and being so diligent in letting the people who care for you know how you are doing. Might you consider consulting with a Naturopathic doctor about what can be done to support your body as it goes through this process an option? Not an instead of thing, but as a support to the treatments you are getting.

    With all my regards,
    Craig Bowen
