Yesterday's scheduled chemotherapy didn't happen. I'm temporarily grounded from chemo. I have an "abscess"--some pocket of infection that didn't go away on the Keflex I took following surgery. Now, after feeling like I'm fading for more than two weeks, I will take oral Clindamycin until Monday, use hot packs, and REST. Then, Monday morning, Dr. R. will make a decision--will I continue oral antibiotics, or go to the hospital for IV antibiotics and possible surgery? Obviously, surgery is not the best decision, since I'm apparently not that good at healing these days. But staff infection could cause a lot of trouble. So now, I wait. How am I feeling? Social answer: not too bad. Truth: :0( b.a.d.
