Radiation Rant
Damn infection in my breast doesn't want to do what the antibiotics are telling it to do .... Bugger off!
Saw my oncologist today, after postponing mapping for the third time and I am getting ready to stab someone. He wants me to finish this lot of pills, which seem to be doing a very slow job of it, and if things haven't cleared up by the end of the week, then I'll have another lot of antibiotics intraveneously. I was so angry, couldn't understand why he wouldn't at least get the mapping done on Thursday so I could be all ready for radiation when things cleared up. But then he explained .... the precision required for the calculations ... infection means swelling ... I have to wait for it to clear.
So I am still stuck in this ridiculous holding pattern. The only person getting any enjoyment out of all of this is my husband who has been given the job of chief breast inspector. I am flashing them to him several times a day, hoping to pass the examination.
I am seriously thinking of taking my sister's advice (I have posted before about her weird and wonderful natural remedies) and might just start slathering iodine all over me. It couldn't hurt, could it? Honestly, I'd do a Lady Godiva while whistling Dixie if I thought it would help!!
It's all getting a bit long in the tooth now and I am panicking about going over the magic 3 months to start radiation, but my oncologist insists I still have some time on my side.
Sorry for the rant ladies. Maybe I'll sleep better for it and feel differently tomorrow.
Hugs to everyone
