Last night Ashley came down with a fever of 105. Just as we were packing up to go to the hospital we got a phone call from her oncologist with results from the scans she had earlier in the week. In previous scans there were areas that were thought to be “scar tissue” from her surgeries. We were always told that they’d keep an eye on it and if there were changes in the future they would know that it wasn’t scar tissue, but potentially tumor. Her latest scan showed growth of what they previously thought was scar tissue. The oncologist will talk to the surgeon some time next week to discuss next steps.

Last night we spent a long night in the ER (10pm-7am) while Ashley had bloodwork, a catheter, xrays, and antibiotics. Her blood pressure was really low and so we were officially admitted for low blood pressure. She would’ve received chemo from her home nurse today, but I’m not sure if she’ll end up getting that in the hospital. She’s receiving a blood transfusion now and they’ll continue to monitor her blood pressure.

We are obviously very concerned about the latest scan results and we thank you for keeping Ashley in your prayers.
