You may have seen that I spent five days in the hospital week before last with a staph infection at my mast site. Mast was 2/15/05. Everyone is somewhat perplexed about why I got it--secondary and just settled in the weakest area of my body I guess.
Everything is complicated for me because I am allergic to penicillen, sulfa drugs, poor track record with cephlosporins (sp), not really sure what I can take because I've never really had to take antibiotics before--always been pretty healty until BC.
I saw surgeon on Friday, and he changed my antibiotic from erythromiacin (sp) to a tetracyclin, not really sure why, but told me if I had a reaction to that drug, just stop taking it and we may stop all antibiotics and see what happens. Still have some fluid draining from site but it is clear and I don't have any fever. Am scheduled for CBC on Wednesday when I get herceptin, so surgeon said he would check white count from that.
OK--now my worry--the mast site area is really sore now, almost like when I had radiation, but the skin is not irritated. Is this just trama from the infection, or maybe a side effect from the antibiotics?
I know this is long an complicated, but I would appreciate anybody's ideas. Not sure where to go with this.
