Set Back...

Less than one minute read time.
Evening All, Was all set to have my port inserted tomorrow but hit a snag along the way. It seems I have a skin infection on the lumpectomy incision. I knew the red inflamation on my right breast wasn't a good sign. Was hoping it would clear up. Was at the clinic for my teaching appointment and knew I'd better have the doctor take a look at me. The nurse agreed and had him come over to look himself. Antibiotics are needed pronto and so port and chemo will have to wait til later on in September. Told my oncologist I have been exercising to prep for chemo and I guess that is what caused the problem. It brought my spirits down as I was reeving myself up for the inevitable. Best to be healthy before moving forward. That is all on my end. My best to you and your journey. Fondly, Ines
