    BM
    Laura,

    When I am nervous I can go several days without a bm. A low grade fever can be many things. I would not presume to even guess. Will just pray all goes well.

    Love,
    Libby☺

    thankyou everyone
    I bet your right Libby I had onc apt 2 days in a row. anyway finally got my avastin and doxil. they were not going to give it to me at first my doc was out yesterday and my fever was still up and the results from the bacteria in the blood test didn't come back yet. but my ca125 went up to 101 wich I know isn't high but mine was at 42 with massive cancer in me so it shook me a little but not much since I know things are obviously growing and that the whole point of more chemo. my question is has anyone ever had avastin with doxil? just curious. and I took baggies with me for ice for my ancles nad wrist and feet and hands and the nurses got quite the kick out of that.I guess they don't do that there but the nurses all thought it made peerfact since.welll I suppose I better stop tying and go put more lotion on I feel so much better emotionaly now that we are takeing positive steps, what a releif... God Bless everyone of you and big hugs too.Laura

    Laura - just want to let you know I'll be thinking of you. I can feel the fear in your emails and I wish I could give you a real hug. Hang in there - you know all of us are praying for you and sending you strength.

    Hugs!
