what a crappy couple of days,, nigel's feet have been swollen more than usual this past couple of days, we were going to the hospital anyway for a routine blood test and decided to pop along to chemo unit for advice,, i'm glad we did as they were even more swollen and very red and hot,, cellulitis diagnosed so antibiotics prescribed, also blood thinning injections as well which i can do at home, he's having a leg scan tomorrow to rule out a blood clot, so he may not be able to have his chemo session tomorrow as planned, there seems to be something different to contend with every day, does get us down at times hopefully the meds will do the trick, he's been told to elavate his legs but he's being doing this for months but doesn't make much difference,i'm at a loss to know what to advise him next???????
