It is ten weeks since my treatment and there have been a couple complications. I continue with the shoulder pain, fatigue and the low grade fever each afternoon. I started having some significant pain and fullness in the area where the treatment was done. My Dr ordered a CT and a couple days later another MRI.

I was told I have significant fluid retention around the liver causing the pressure and pain and swelling but everything else looks good so far. I should find out more about the MRI today. Dr said the swelling and fluid will dissipate but could not give me a time frame and said he had never seen this much fluid before but did not seem overly concerned. I can deal with it with Tylenol but was surprised by the length of the recovery. One day at a time. Thanks for asking.
