Sitting In ER Found Out Knee Septic

I saw my oncologist on May 2, 2023 and had told him about fevers. Later in evening my blurry vision was getting worse. AFter 6 or 7 hours in the ER I was transferred to a hospital for IV antibiotic MY ANC has dropped to a dangerous level. During the ER visit my left knee doubled in size. I mistakenly thought it was an arthritic flare. It was a septic knee, had surgery for infection on May 5, 2023. This has been very trying. I appreciate all your kindness.

CA125 Jan 2021 To Feb 2022

I just now received results that my CA125 did go down slightly with Gemzar, so I have to find a way to keep taking it. I don't even know what that will entail. I can barely see what I am typing. I will go to the ER if symptoms get worse but I did not deserve any of this.

This is why I am upset. I cannot work very easily while on Gemzar, obviously because my labs are in a poor state and the side effects have taken a huge toll on me with just one treatment. My previous gynonc will never be held accountable, not will the radiology resident. I did NOT deserve to be punished by my previous gynonc for complaining about their error that effected my life expectancy!

I am exhausted.
