2022.03.31: 3 day hospital visit

Started Tuesday off with double vision and dropping right eye.  Ct and mri scans of head showed cancer did NOT spread to brain and also ruled out stroke as possible cause.  After further research and testing it was determined that likely cause was immunotherapy treatment overly aggressively attacked right nerve in my face resulting in drooping right side of face, a rare side effect of medication.  

To reverse effect, treated with aggressive infusion of steroids and protein antibodies to calm down immune system.  2 daily treatments later, vision and face are back to normal.  3 additional treatments will be done on out-patient basis st infusion center inside my cancer center located at the hospital. 

This will affect my overall treatment for my cancer in some way, to be determined before next chemo treatment in 2 weeks. In meantime, glad to be back home with Nichelle and be able to go back to work to focus on other things.
