hey, sorry took me a while busy day today, we were there at ER for long time and at first I sat in waiting room for hour, as they said only one inside. Eventually after some testing they brought me in.

Once in there he started having throat spasms, and when took off his shirt they saw a rash all over his chest and shoulders...hense red face too. He was having allergic reaction to one of the chemo meds. Most likely the one that is in the pack. He was on chemo at the place then comes home with fanny pack of more thru for two days then they take off. Start over two weeks later.

Anyhow with some meds, and they did xray of chest and a EKG as his oxygen was low. He was fine after a bit, and once off oxygen, that level got better.

We came home with him at 1am. he is doing well. Also the ER had gotten a hold of oncologist and they had them turn off the pump in fanny pack. Today then he had apt with oncologist, and they took the pump off. Next time they will do the chemo, then an oral kind after not the fanny pack. So cross our fingers the allergy was from the chemo fanny pack kind not the original.

Anyhow thanks fro the prayers, he has been looking so different weaker like ever since the surgery, not sure how he will do thru all this chemo. He is 76 years old. Truely not sure he even has the umpff for all this after losing his oldest daughter so recently.

hugss and thanks all, sunny day and 55 degrees ...some snow is melting..hugsss,sarah
