Good Day all it been a while. Thought I would take a few to update.
In my last post I posted that I was diagnosed with a metastatic prostate cancer. The first Chemotherapy treatment went well. As the second treatment came it went like the first with no issues. A couple of days later I started feeling sick and had no energy. This lasted for a couple of days, the wife took my blood pressure and found it to be quite low, so off to the ER we went. The next thing I know I am being admitted and having many needled stuck into me for blood samples.
After all of the testing it came back that I came down with a bacterial infection because my immune system was compromised because of a very low red count and almost no white count. After several days of multiple antibiotics and other drugs they got it under control.
It took a couple of days to find out what was the infection was. It turned out to be a form of e-coli.
Since this has happened the Chemotherapy treatments have been stopped and a Hormone therapy has been started. Also along with this in another adventure to the hospital it was found there are blood clots in both lungs. With a drug change this is slowly getting better.
