If you are feeling worse, go to your doctor right away. As always, not sure which one but think chemo doc would be best choice or your family doc. Dont delay any longer, you may have an infection and need to be seen. Remember, its your health and those doctors basically work for you. Dont be afraid to stand up to those appointment setters and tell them you are very ill and its imperative you see the doctor, dont take no for an answer. You dont want to end up in the hospital. Maybe try calling the place you were treated and ask for a visiting nurse if thats available. My hospital sent one for me. I really hope you get this taken care of so you can start to heal and feel better.
