Dad is starting chemotherapy on Monday

Hi Matthew I’m pleased to hear you are doing well with your treatment & thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately my Dad had an allergic reaction within five minutes of trying to take the chemo-his face went red, he had to be pumped full of piriton, had an asthma attack, couldn’t breathe, was put on oxygen & had an ECG. He had to be monitored for a few hours before being able to go home after that. He’s waiting for a date to go in again for a smaller dose of chemo to be administered over a day so 
watch this space.

Hi Lorri I hope your husband is doing well with chemo after his scarey reaction!

My Dad couldn’t take chemo at all despite three attempts so had radiotherapy for four weeks instead. He has been having the hormone injections too, but has recently had allergic reactions from this in both arms with lumps appearing and been on a few courses of antibiotics. He may have to have the injections in his stomach instead in future. His levels have come down a lot after treatment which is really good, but he is unsteady on his feet & still needs to be close to a toilet although this has eased a bit. 

Best wishes to both of you!! I wish your husband well with treatment onto better health & hope that you have got a good network of family & friends for support, just to be able to offload and take your mind off it a bit x
