Unable to sleep. Been up since midnight. The sinuses are not getting better even with the third course of antibiotics. 500mg of Levaquin daily for ten days and still very little relief. It's bound to get worse once I start lymphedema treatments again.
My arm is slightly red and more swollen now. Had to call the company who was supposed to deliver the lymphedema machine. It turns out that they did not carry lymphedema machines but no one bothered to notify me. I called them to let them know what I thought of their customer service. Anyhow, found another supplier who hopefully will deliver in a more timely manner. My concern is that if there is any residual metastatic disease in my arm (which I strongly suspect), then doing the treatments will cause it to infiltrate my lymph nodes once again. Sounds counter-intuitive but my hyperthermia and radiation treatments will then "capture" these cancer cells and kill them. In theory, this ought to work, right? At least, that's what I tell myself.
