As of 12:38 this afternoon Dr. Harker (the Oncologist) had left. Because Celeste was already breaking down cells (seen from blood work this morning) and chemo will accelerate that process they needed to be admitted to the IMC (intermountain medical center). They will keep her flushed with fluids and bring her calcium down to protect her kidneys.
They found that Celeste has Tumor Lysis Syndrome. This means the body is recognizing and breaking down cancer cells too fast. It is too hard on the kidneys. To treat it they have to give her IV fluids.
