I felt the same way about giving antibiotics if it was just a virus but the Oncologist said there could be an infection starting up also from her recent surgery . She is not running fever but the incision looks a little red in spots so I guess the antibiotics were for that. I've been trusting in these doctors and there recommendations were high. But lately i'm getting a different feeling towards them. I called MD Anderson in Texas yesterday to enquire about the Oncologist who will be treating my mom with the Chemo and I was told his credentials were high with the Anderson team . But I am getting worried and hope were making the best decision to stay in LA for her treatment.
I feel like I cant sleep anymore . I'm constantly reading and researching on different treatments and side effects that I'm sure will come.
Thank you for any advice Heidi
