I was in a similar situation last October when my 22 months old hamster took ill, lost weight and was put on medication by the vet. Given his age, i prepared myself to the fact that he may not recover and spent as much time with him as possible. I cherished every minute i had with him, talked to him, gently stroked him and stopped worrying about him, at least while i was with him because i wanted him to feel my love and not my worry.

Your hamster may be fine for quite a while yet and i sincerely hope that she will be but remember that you are doing everything you can for her and can't do anymore.
Try not to worry too much this weekend and enjoy her company as much as she enjoys yours.

I'm sorry not to be able to answer your questions but i don't know whether your hamster has an abcess or not or what the outcome is likely to be.
