Fever

Looks like I am back into the fever boat again. Been running at about 101F since Friday. My only signs are getting a chill when the fever starts, being tired and weak. I’ve had high white cell count for the last 6 months and the doctors have run test after test and can’t find whats going on.

I finally did a bit of research on my own and of course none of it is good. Though I now know why I have the above symptoms.  My white cells are to many and using up lots of energy which causes me to be hungry, tired, and run a fever. Normally when you have a high count it means there is some infection going on, can also mean you have cancer.

I haven’t done any CAT or PET scans yet. My doctor knows I have huge issues with radiation going into my body after being treated with it for cancer.  I have a sinking feeling she’s gonna say it’s time to run these so we can find whats going on because blood tests are not getting us anywhere.

I’m just torn, I want answers but the amount of radiation in those tests alone can cause cancer. No thank you, been there done that. On the flip side how much longer can I go on living this way? I never know from hour to hour how I’m going to feel.  I woke up this morning feeling okish and by late morning I was running a fever.  I’ve been going to bed at night around 8:30-9:00pm each night and sleeping through the night. For those of you that know me, know that I have huge insomnia issues and I never go to sleep that early. Even after a good nights sleep, once the fever starts I’m so tired and I just feel like slug moving around.

So anyway, I called my oncologist to report that I was getting my fevers again and she wants to see me weds. The only reason it’s not sooner is she’s out sick until weds.  I really hope we can get to the root of this then.
