An update - my oncologist called me and was so encouraging to me on the phone, that I decided to drop my hard feelings. I didn't bring any treats to his office on my 3rd visit last week, but it wouldn't have mattered - I had a different nurse attend to me and she was lovely! Unfortunately, she said that my port incision got infected so she had to give me the infusion through my arm. The port incision never felt right to me - and the skin was turning red - so the oncologist put me on an antibiotic. The next day I saw my PS and he put me on a totally different, much stronger antibiotic.....and he still won't let me return to work. I was hoping to return to work tomorrow - but now I'm happy I can't because I've been soooo tired these past few days and my arms feel so heavy and useless - I can't call them muscle pains ......I never felt anything like this in my life. Must be a side effect - but what? Some kind of neuropathy? I could barely hold a dinner dish tonight for fear I'd drop it! If it doesn't get better soon, I'll be calling my oncologist......sigh.....some days I feel like I take 5 steps forward then 6 steps backwards.
