You may have noticed my posts have been rather short over the last few days.
Whilst my temperature was spiking the doctors were trying to find the source of the infection. Until they found this, or my neutrophils bounced back - they had to keep rotating my various antibiotics & antifungals to keep it under control. Finally we discovered that I had an abscess in my bottom (probably due to all of this sitting around!). Over the last few days the surgeons & my oncologist have been discussing when the abscess should be drained. This finally happened at 8.45pm on Thursday evening. I am now back in my room - but keeping still for now.
In the last couple of days I have been taking a growth hormone to try and jump start my neutrophil count and this appears to have made some headway.
We'll know over the next few days when I am likely to go home and then we can arrange visits.
