Hi girls
I am sorry to hear you are both doing the radiotherapy the tough way. I am due to start mine next week and not looking forward to it but I am hoping I will breeze through it cause I have done it tough through the chemo and feel I need a break about now.
But I had a staph infection after my second surgery which continued on for months and constant antibiotics. It only cleared with a change of antibiotics which I had suggested a few times and it was only when I saw a different oncologist that she put me on a different tablet and the infection cleared up. But unfortunately i feel that the infection has returned!!!!!!!! I will get it checked early next week. I am not feeling unwell from the infection yet thank god and fingers crossed I don't as i didn't have any fevers or unwellness last time. I am not happy about going in to rads with an infection.
I thought you could only get an infection from an open wound Jo. Did you have split skin which allowed an infection to take hold? I don;t have any medical experience so I don't have any idea.
I am wishing both you girls well on the rest of your Rads journey and then your ongoing journey following your current treatment. Hopefully you will be able to get some normality back in to your life following this rolla coaster road we are currently on.
I hope to hear how you are going. I am trying to stay positive that I will breeze through Rads as so many people say it is much easier than chemo. I am looking at 35 zaps over 7 weeks. I will have to be away from home and in Perth for that period of time.
Hubby and I are currently enjoying a week of holidays. One nightwas spent in Sydney to catch up with my new NBCA website friend which was wonderful to finally meet face to face and now hubby and I are spending a wonderful time in Tassie until Monday and then it is back to Perth to continue the next stage of my BC journey.
Take care, thinking of you and wishing you wellness.
