I had breast cancer 10 years ago. I got a Hickman line for my chemo but the plastic line went septic (probably following an infected seroma) - I'm prone to Sepsis. And they removed the infected Hickman line. 

Amyway I was neutropenic (neutrophils were low) so I ended up in a side ward with IV antibiotics and was given growth hormone injections into my tummy to boost my neutropenes. 

It helped and I was discharged about a week later. And I'm still here. 

thank you so much for you reply!  We are just at a loss as nobody is doing anything and at the moment it just feels like cancer will be actively spreading as she has had no treatment since September last year now!

she has just been admitted into hospital and being treated with sepsis. They said they will not discharge her from hospital until her neutrophils are above 1.0. 

Very good I’ hope your keeping well :) xxxx

 So maybe now there will be some progress :)

hi hazel. Thankyou so much for your reply, we have got the bottom of the problem.  

The haematologist came to see my mum due her neutropenia and they did a bone marrow sample. She has now been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. 

This is a seperate cancer to her throat.  It’s very very unusual and rarely happens getting two  seperate cancers at the same time.    So they have to treat the AML then they will treat the throat  :( xxxx

Hi Charl so sorry to year sbout a double dose of cancer at least they’ve gotten to the bottom of your mums problems. Onwards and upwards from here .if yiu need anything on the tonsil cancer just message me.

sending hugs

hazel

thanks so much for your kind words, you will know how much they mean ! 

& ive just been reading your blog and it’s so close to home your situation! All my mum wants to know is when she can go back to Spain. She has a place in queseda - if you know where that is!  She’s similar age, acrually she turns 60 on Thursday!  Your blog has given me the inspiration write and help others. 

Thankyou again xxxxx

hello :) 

well we are to believe that aml has been discovered very very early as my mum has only the symptoms of her blood count being low - and the only way we have known about her bloods is due to them being checked for her throat cancer! 

Im so sorry to hear about your brother, did he have the intense chemotherapy?xxxx
