Julie, I went to the local hospital with a fever of 39.6....MDS, severe neutropenia...they said probably a viral infection...gave me antibiotics "just in case" and sent me home. They made me feel really silly for bothering them. The next day I collapsed with sepsis.
My haematologist was livid. He made me feel really silly for NOT bothering him...you can't win!
Now I don't care...I do what I need to do to make ME feel good and stuff what they think!
Please ring your haematology clinic before the Christmas break and ask for an earlier appointment because you are having ongoing health issues that aren't getting better. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
