First chemo postponed a week.
Well was all set to start chemo today, but saw the surgeon yesterday and this infection, inflammation, whatever it is, is still there. Still have big red patch, tenderness etc below nipple down to bo...
Hi Kazza, I can understand why your chemo has been postponed. I had a lingering seroma when I started my first chemo, and due to the bit of infection that was there and my drop in immunity, I ended up in hospital with acute cellulitis of my wound and neutrophil crisis. IV antibiotics and pain killers, along with isolation nursing due to my low immunity, it nearly did my head in and my confidence dropped. I was on oral antibiotics for the next month so I could manage my next chemo. From all the antibiotics I ended up with oral thrush, and have had to use nilstat oral drops for every chemo until My last one 2 weeks ago. Just listen yo your oncologist and treatment team, and take care of yourself. Big cuddles from Trace ??????
