Computer issues, sorry for not responding back immediately. His office did call back later that day. He had to go out of town yesterday through next week, waiting to hear when they will squeeze mom in that following week. In the meantime, mom went ot see her pcp, she said she wasn't waiting for the visit with the RO, she put mom back on clindamyicin and diflucan. I am happy that she is so aggressive in that area. Mom seems a little better today, kind of coming back around. The surgeon and dental onc say that she can't be on antibiotics forever, so they stopped them...the pcp said she needs them now...i am wondering, how long can you stay on those drugs before you build an immunity to them?

Thank you all for responding.
