Close MRSA
My MRSA was acquired during a db mastectomy in May 2006. Seeded in my port-a-cath, it became systemic, resulting in pheunonia, anemia, bone marrow issues, etc. I was treated with full Vancomycin which eliminated the bacteria, but experienced the horrible Red Man's Syndrone. Even tho cultures show the bacteria is no longer present, I'm still recovering from it's impacts, primarily now vascular and cardiac. The needed chemo cannot be done because of this.
Treatments
- Vancomycin Working / Worked
- Red Man's Syndrone
Close Breast Cancer
Stage: I (T1 N0)In Apr 2006 I was diagnosed with BC. I had a db mastectomy, followed by 2 staph infections --- the 1st a cellulitis, the 2nd was a systemic MRSA. Surgical complications can happen and can be worse than the surgery itself and staph inf are becoming more frequent. Advice -- be very aware of even low grade fevers and any other signs of infection while recovering so that treatment can start ASAP.
Treatments
- Mastectomy Too Soon to Tell
- Surgery went smoothly, followed by 2 staph infections, including MRSA. No chemo due to complications.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- Works great (75mg/day) to moderate my emotions. Now I can talk and thank those who do sweet things for me, without crying. I've never had a depression problem, but always cried at sweet situations. It was magnified with the BC, now I have the crying under control. I don't ever want to be without it!
