As I have mentioned before, it was not until the age of 60 that I began my declining health and while I had a very healthy body at age 60 and it has declined, my overall physical health is still pretty good. Over the weekend, I pruned trees for about a couple of hours and then carried all the cut off limbs across the street to be picked up by our garbage collectors.
However, since I contracted my second cancer and since I have had radiation, and since my age is no longer 60 but 73... I made the mental decision at 70 to start bringing up what I noticed was bothering me at the risk of being considered a hypochondriac. As a result of putting that into action, the doctors discovered that my cancer treatment had screwed up my thyroid.
Then, after stopping IVIG because of a national shortage, I was able to start it again but only every other month instead of monthly because I complained of on-going sinus infections and the doctors agreed that my treatments caused that as well.
Over the last several days perhaps 1-2 weeks or more, I have been putting polysporin on a knot on my penis that grew into an abscess and finally broke open but is still leaking. During this same time, in the mornings when I blow my nose, I notice that there is a lot of blood that comes out which could be another sinus infection. Then, this past Friday while taking a shower, I spit all sorts of died blood and I kept spitting blood for a couple of hours until I washed out my mouth with hydrogen peroxide 3%. At first I thought the blood was also from my nose, but there was a spot on my gums.
During the last several weeks I have also notice my nausea returning as well as afternoon fatigue around 4:00/5:00 pm which may not be fatigue at all because it goes away somewhat if I eat a snack...
My concern is that for 28 days, I took antibiotics 3 times a day after being hospitalized for 6 days with a staph infections and could my body be now retaliating or trying to rebalance after being treated like that... don't know but it is something that I am going to ask my Oncologist at the end of this month when I have my next treatment.
And, isn't is curious how all these infections are clustered together over these last few days.
