I'm on my second week of antibiotics for my chemo rash.

9. First thing in the morning?

Ugh. Double recommend you ask then - this thing is a small dot that stays on your skin for 72 hours and there is none of that waking sick feeling. That said, what they are giving you may be WAY more potent if they didn't offer this as an option.

Glad to hear that they are working on keeping your lymph system pumped. Unlike the blood system, the lymph had no pump (heart) to keep it moving, and it can clog easily if movement and gravity don't kick in - those two are what keeps the pipes flushing. My favorite part of physical therapy was the lymph massages and exercises. I can now sense when I am blocked (or sluggish) and when everything is flowing. In one session, I even felt/heard the flush when she massaged out a blockage. It sounded like a hose un-kinking and felt COLD as all get out when the fluid ran. Felt like I was walking on air for days afterward!
