To surgery or not to surgery

So far everyone's hope was this infection nastiness would be obliterated by aggressive antibiotics and the pain and fevers would go away.  I could still start chemo soon thereafter.  Sadly I started the day with another high fever.  Now everyone is leaning towards surgery to remove the source of the infection all together, and follow up with chemo to make sure it's all gone.

But no one has been by to say that definitively yet.  Surgery means a long recovery, a delay in chemo.  It also means I'm immediately menopausal.  I don't know what else they could do.  But I wish they'd hurry up and say it.

  1. Here's an update until Erin provides another: surgery confirmed for tomorrow. Hope change from "work antibiotics work!" To "successful surgery"
