Welcome to OCF
Sorry to hear of the set back. Hopefully the I V antibiotics will get that infection cleared up. My mother developed an infection from the surgical biopsy and we didn't even know it. She didn't even run a fever. She went in for surgery a week later and the Oncologist told us she had a horrible infection in that area . She also had an IV antibiotic while she stood in the hospital. After we came home it seemed like the infections started to come back so the doctor called in some "Doxycyline Hyclate "and she seems to be doing fine now.
Good luck also with the Bone Graft. Heidi
