I have recurring gynae cancer and have had surgery several time, but it keeps coming back and I’m worn out with it. Now I’m having chemotherapy treatment.
I’m exhausted. Anybody else in the same boat?

my cancer is inoperable and terminal so I shall take anything they can offer me to prolong my life.

Lucca I'm so sad to read this.
I hope you have the treatment and support you need xx

How did she get that infection?

It was a winter cold it seemed, one which ran out of control with the chemo hitting the immune system. No cultures were take that we're aware of because the blitz of antibiotics quelled to infection. It may have started as a viral thing which would not have succumbed to antibiotics, but opportunistic bacteria are always not far away. My message to anyone who is on aggressive chemo: avoid any possible source of infections. What might have passed unnoticed normally, could flare up into a serious problem.
