So here’s the deal. Immunotherapy given during chemotherapy fucked him up. He has new conditions of SIADH, hypothyroidism, hiatal hernia, gastrointestinal issues, hypomagnesmia, disphagia, hyponatremia & possible adrenal gland inefficiency, A team of Nephrologist Endocrinologist , Gastrologist, Oncologist, Heart Specialist are monitoring his health. The meds to bring his sodium level to normal are brutal. His nutrition is crap sustainable with nutritional drinks & minimal solids. Long road ahead
And…ongoing immunotherapy as once planned will not be happening. Therefore the cancer returning is higher than had he been able to take it.
His plan is a cat scan in January, then every six months for two years. Then annual for life. That’s the best scenario at this point.
He plugs along despite his situation and managed a walk halfway down the long drive. That’s a win. A positive. And I’ll take it 💜
So COSO. If you’ve been exposed to Agent Orange, are or have been a smoker, be on guard. Take charge of your health now. For in a flash it can change forever. Guess as I’m writing this, that’s my purpose for laying this out.
Don’t ever think you’re immune to what toxic chemicals can do to you.
The end
