hi all l not sure was told by my breast care nurse, that if l get sick  in the next twelve months ie cold what ever that l was to see the doctor and go on antibotics cause you body is stilll repairing itself from chemo ended 22nd dec 2010 and radation march 2011 , so have extermely sore throat, sore body {aches } headache no temp

so up to local hospital l go this am see the doctor whom says  its viral infection if you get worst come back, l explained what l been told re breast care nurse but she said if you still dont feel good tommorrow then come back.  

lm so confussed as to who do l listen to and believe.

l really feel like a truck has hit me [as in not feeling well}

  • Agree with Mel,  listens to your body. Don't be afraid to get second opinion.  Even call you oncologiest / breast care nurse regarding your concern ... I think the "pacman" is still working inside.

    hope you feel better soon.

  • If it's viral you usually don't feel real bad and you don't get high temps and antibiotics won't help.But if your temp goes up to 38 and you feel terrible then go back to the doctor.Hope you feel better tomorrow.
