hello all

You will see from my profile I’ve joined the chat group as my aunt, who is very very dear to me is currently fighting breast cancer. Late last night, early hours of this morning we had to call an ambulance, her temp sky rocketed to 38.4... she started her first round of chemo on 17th January 2019.

The chemo team and hospital have been amazing and said she has neutropenic sepsis and confirmed cellulitis  on the right starting from the beginning of her incision right the way around under her armpit and her dog ears (cats ears as she’s calling them!). They started her on strong IV antibiotics and plasma injections (I think that’s what the surgeon said) intonher tummy. They’ve also drained off 365ml of seroma on the right side today.

Has anyone else been neutropenic? Breast Cellulitis? Any advice? I’m so petrified I’m going to lose her and I want to remain strong for her. All responses much appreciated xx
