Elaine received her 5th dose of aldesleukin last night at 11 pm she started to get some side affects throughout the night and in the early hours of the morning. The doctors were very satisfied that she had received enough aldesleukin to kick start the cells and took her off the drug. Elaine is still confined to the ward and will be for the next few days due to her neutropenia. Her appetite is still low and will be for a few days. We now have to monitor her for signs of infection and ensure that her blood work keeps improving. The side effects settled down as the days events unfolded. She managed a few walks around the ward, while friends in Canmore ran the Terry Fox run for Elaine. Amazing friends, it brought tears to Elaine's eyes looking at all the photos coming in by email and social media. she feels very loved and supported.
