Dang! An ear infection to boot.
I scored a quick appt today with Dr. Vikstrom about my right ear problems. He confirmed I’ve got a pretty good infection going on. He wasn’t able to even see my eardrum due to the inflammation. Bummer. So I’ve got yet another thing to do several times a day: put drops of neomycin in my ear 4 times a day. If it helps, I’m all for it!
We also talked about how long Erbitux stays in your body. Not good news. He said that because it’s an antibody it won’t drop to half the amount in my body for 2-3 weeks after my last infusion. So this stuff really hangs around. And until it starts really leaving me, my healing will be slower than I’d like. Double ugh.
