Another bump in the road!
Went to the E.R. for shortness of breath. X-ray did not show enough fluid to drain off but I do have cellulitis around the new port. Got some antibiotic so hopefully, that will clear up soon. The shortness of breath is part of the disease process and I will have to live with that so the E.R. doc told me. Very frustrating as I am not able to do much and yet I don't feel sick. Oh well, we knew that keeping the disease stable couldn't last for ever. hugs, Sandy
