Good News!

 Okay... Today has been a bit of a wild ride! Celeste really does feel and look like she is in a fat suit they use for actors! we will spare you pictures! 
Good News: they can see in the scans today that Celeste is responding to chemo! The masses she has are already shrinking! The swelling today is a combination of the Tumor Lysis overwhelming her system, massive doses of prednisone which contributes to swelling, and low protein in her cells. She has plural effusions which means there is fluid between her lungs and chest wall making it very hard to breathe!
Treatment=  Lasix/diuretic to slough water out of cells.
