Luckily I went to Ottawa today with Hilary, my hot-tub owning pharmacist friend. I started to feel ill on the drive and I got to see the nurse after the radiation session. I had a fever and my BP was elevated so she contacted Dr. Colin Brown and he ordered a chest x-ray. We were greeted by an empty X-ray waiting room so were seen immediately. We met with Colin few minutes later and he said that there had been a faint shadow on the lungs before but it had become much more prominent. He gave me a prescription for antibiotic as well as a re-order of steroids. My guardian angel Hilary managed to get a dose of both medications into me before we even left Ottawa. So, now I am resting lots and will see Colin again on Wednesday. Not a great start to my last week but as Cheryl pointed out, it will get better.
