Okay so my GP says I have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics. The lumps in my elbows are thrombophlebitis caused by inflamed blood vessels secondary to whatever infection I have.
He also said not to have the Dexamethasone/copper infusions next week.
I rang the treatment centre and told them that I needed to cancel next week. They rang back and told me the haematologist said I had to have both the steroids and the treatment. Who do I believe? What am I supposed to do? I suppose at the end of the day, I have to trust the specialist over the GP.
It would be really nice to know just where the infection is. No one has taken a blood test or cultures, it's getting kind of frustrating.
Regards
Chirley
