Hi, thank you again for responding, I really really appreciate it. Doc says that they looked for a "pocket" of fluid to do the paracentesis but could not find one that was big enough to do it safely. I don't think they looked very hard. There is a lot of fluid there. The hospital doctor confirmed with me that my dad did not get any neulasta or anything else to boost his wbc count within the 24 hours after the chemo. It was given 7 days after. I had to ask the doctor multiple times about the timing of the dosage because she repeatedly failed to answer, saying "he did get it" when my questions were aimed specifically at the timing of the administration. In the end, I counted the days myself for her. Then she said "I don't think it contributed to his current situation. " I know that is not true. He got sepsis. This started a cascade that I truly believe would not be happening if not for that. Now she wants to meet with me at one this afternoon. I will see what she has to say for my dad's sake, but I need nothing further from her except the feeding tube. I'm sorry to burden you with my rant. I am terrified, desperate, and furious. Thank you for caring about my dad. Any knowledge you have to offer about any of this would be appreciated, and your kind words are appreciated as well, thank you.
