Turns out my fears about today were founded. I said to mom, in tears as I walked to her car, I am scared that I am going to die or something. And when we got to chemo, the nurse didn't like my blood pressure, heart rate and shortness of breath and took me right over to emerg. After X-ray and CT scan again, turns out I have a small blood clot in my left lung. This is rare, one shouldn't develop clots when one is injecting blood thinner each day. It has been a long day and we appreciate your prayers for peace, safety, healing, and wisdom for the medical team.
I will be staying in hospital for observation. Please hold our kids in your prayers.
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.
