Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hi all, I went Wed for my 9th. chemo, she was going to put it in my right arm, but said too much scar tisssue there, so put in in the left where all the other 9 have been . (i had a port at one time, but got bactaral ? infection so had to take it out). So the next day my arm started to swell up just above the site, had to go back to dr. was cellulitis ?sp. a really hard knot there, got some Kelflax for that. it is better now, hot and swelling gone down, just the knot there. I ask the onc. dr. if the next 3 sessions of chemo were really necessary, since i had had 9 already and all this trouble. He said he really couldn't say, beacause they had only tested for 12 sessions. said maybe 9 was enough or even 6. but until they do the testing no way to tell. I also have been taking the WBC shots every week after chemo. found ou they were really making me sick, alful headacks, body hurt just to touch it, nausa all the time for about 3 days. I told him i didn't want to take any more chemo, he said we would comprise, have a ct scan done and see what goes from that. so yesterday i went back for the ct scan. will have to wait till next wed to go to onc. dr. to see what it showed if anything. my cea ? was 1.07 before it was 1.09 Hoping and praying the ct scan doesns't show any thing else. - hanky 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
