Onc appointment

Saw Dr Barrett today and she was all smiles. She had a look at my armpit and said that it was looking a lot better than when she last saw it (which was in hospital) and felt that we needed to persevere longer with the antibiotics and dressing. There is still the faint chance that it is more than just an infection in my armpit but she does not want to investigate further yet.

We then discussed the excrutiating pain in my back. I really can't stand for more than a few minutes and walk very far without it really hurting. I'm struggling to support myself and so my back is arching over at the top. I asked whether any type of support brace would help but she said no. I've got a planning appointment on Monday for radiotherapy and she said that this would be the only thing that should relieve the pain. I truly hope so.

My bloods are still good
