Flu and Fever Update #05

My Oncologist came and saw me today. The timing was quite good as he also just came back from leave today.

He said that my blood test results with the elevated white cell count are expected as part of chemotherapy and injection of GCSF for boosting white cell production. He also did say that coming back to TTSH as I was having fever/flu is also good as it is also wise to exclude any major infection. If my blood culture results come back negative for bacterial infection, he will just prescribed oral antibiotic and send me home. The question is whether blood culture result will be out by tomorrow.

By all other indications I should be alright and since I am warded, arrangement will be made for my follow-up CT scan to be done tomorrow rather than wait until Thursday as he hopes I can be discharged tomorrow.

Pray for culture result to be clean and I'll be able to go home tomorrow.

Praise God and In Him We Trust.
