That is good news that they are moving forward with the treatment.
Try not to get too worked up about the serum sickness. Trust me, it will be harder for you than for her! Just remember that for every horror story that you read, there is another person that will have breezed through it.
Try to focus your nervous energy through the hospitalization on things that you have more control over. For example, ensure that all nurses/doctors/visitors are keeping things as sterile as possible. Her neutrophils will go way down before they go back up and the risk of infection is serious. Be vigilant that proper protocol is being followed for sterilization of her PICC line before things are injected into it. Also double check all drugs administered and their dosage.
I wish you both the best!
