Well, so much for antibiotics!
had a violent reaction to the first lot, vomitting, indigestion, mile-high fever and the shivers. Took me a week to get though that, then began taking new ones. Hospital 3 times in 8 days.
In the meantime, right neck lump still growing, seen by two more different docs, and yet another lump appeared on back of neck, just to left of spine. Had a lot of pain for a week when trying to sleep on that side and laso have pain in left side.
Got a call from the hospital this afternoon to say lump should be biopsied by a dermatologist/soft tissue specialist.
This being England, of course, I should 'have a letter within 2 weeks'--but no guarantees here of course as the country shuts down for 2 weeks over Christmas.
Next bloods and Zometa treatment Jan 2nd, next oncologist appointment Jan 9th---may easily both happen before the 'magic letter' ever arrives!
Just feel down as have pain like I haven't had since April!
