After the good news about Devon finally being able to start chemo again after recovering for weeks after an allergic reaction, she unfortunately had another (more severe) reaction when she started her trial again.

In Erin’s words:
“It hit her hard. She has white lips, red eyes and her body looks like Barney. She’s so purple.. She has trouble breathing and I had a fit…I ran as fast as I could to get the car. Devon couldn’t be believe how fast I ran!! Got her in the truck and drove to the hospital as we called the cancer agency. Well no Emerg wants a cancer patient.. We turned around after talking to the nurse and went back to the room. Dr. Connors called and he is worried about her. He put her back on predizone and said call if she gets worse.”

After a short time back in the hotel trying to get Dev’s swelling down, she got worse. Erin drive her to Vancouver General Hospital where she was admitted due to a fever, swelling and raised heart rate – has an IV drip and lots of medication.

Dr. Connors will decide later today if she can continue with her treatments.
