Jerry's appointment today with the oncologist was fairly routine. Jerry has been fighting with a serious sinus infection. He started taking a Z-pack and that did not know out the infection. When they took Jerry's temperature, he was running a fewer. They took his temperature a second time and continued showing a fever. Dr. Javadi decided he wanted Jerry to give some additional blood to test for an infection in his blood. They took two additional vials of blood from his port as well as blood from his arm. The results should be available in a week. Unfortunately, Jerry's PSA is slowly creeping back up every week when they draw blood for a CBC (complete blood count). Overall, Jerry is feeling much better on a daily basis than he has in a long time. Even though he's been on antibiotics, Jerry's diarrhea has been pretty much under control. Jerry continues having sinus problems and Dr. Javadi is prescribing Avelox to continue fighting with the infection.
