I had a lumpectomy for stage 1 IDC ER/PR+ 0/5 lymph nodes and 5 day/10 session radiation Dec 2014 and July 2015 had a stubborn urinary tract infection which took three 7 day sessions of the only oral antibiotic that would kill it. We were concerned I'd have to go on IV but the last session seemed to kill it. Though I still was not feeling well and had some minor symptoms that indicated there might still be an infection somewhere. (Urine specimen was negative.)my GP orders C reactive protein test to see if there may be infection or inflammation somewhere. It came back with a score of 10.71 which is very high (normal is 0-3) my oncologist and GP have my lab results and haven't called me yet so I thought I'd call tomorrow to ask about this. Has anyone been told a high CRP goes with early stage bc post treatment. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is typical within a year aftertreatment. My concern is that I have some other cancer going on though I knoW this can indiCate other thIngs. Any information appreciated
