We left the surgeons office disappointed that he couldn't find a leak and went to see the oncologist. Don't get me wrong we didn't want there to be a leak, but we were sure there was one. When we met with the oncologist she also looked for a leak, couldn't find one, and offered the same possible explanation about sweating.
I asked if it was possible that instead of sweating or a spinal fluid leak, could it be the topotecan running back out. No one thought there was much of a chance for that to be happening. It was decided to continue with the treatment and Marie received her injection that day.
That's what I thought when you first wrote of all the fluid coming out....that is was the drug they were injecting into her head......
