Saw Dr Barrett today so that she could keep an eye on me after my admission to hospital last week. She said that we wouldn't be considering any chemo until the infection in my armpit had settled if not totally healed. She did however say that there is a slim chance that it may not heal if it is not definitely an infection and is related to the cancer spreading in the nodes. Although this cannot be ruled out at this stage she said that she wouldn't get any biopsy's done as she needs to give the wound time to heal. If it is cancer related then there may be some radiotherapy in the pipeline.
My platelets were very low today at 60 and my white blood count is very high at 11.23 which is expected and a good thing as my body is fighting the infection.
