My daughtres continued infections on onlt left side of body

by pressureslitl, Aug 29, 2007 01:04AM
I'm writing to you with these symptoms my daughter Tara is having. Tara went in for her yearly womans physical, and her pap smear came back with problems. Then her left breast had a lump in it, then she went to a surgeon, who says lets wait another 6monthes, see if it changes in size, which it has, then she gets a sore throat, which turns out to be a abcess on the left tonsil or rather behind it and spends 2 days in the hospital.Now less than two weeks later shes caught a sinus infection. My gut tells me something is not alright with all these things going on,am I correct? could she be VERY ill or what?

Valerie's right that you should make Tara's doctor find out what is going on.  But with her recent hospitalization she's probably had a blood test that may have shown any problem with leukemia or lymphoma.  You should ask Tara's doctors.
