My son ended up with a blood clot in his lungs due to the chemo, so he had to give himself injections of Heparin for the remainder of his treatments. He also had bad neuropathy in this hands and feet from it too. It went away in his hands, but he still has it bad in his feet.
In November of last year, he had abdominal surgery for an internal hernia and blockage. He's also recently been diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (left ventricle problem). He had a-fib in the hospital in November, so they sent him to a Cardiologist in Rochester, NY, a couple of hours from here. They put him on Camzyos, and he has to have an Echo every four weeks so they can track the medication's effectiveness. We went for his initial Echo on the 28th of May. On the 30th, he had a video consult with the Cardiologist who said everything looked good. That Tuesday, June 2nd, I had to take him to the ER here as he was having a-fib again...which can be a side effect of the medication. They gave him medication via IV to try to bring his heart rate down, but ended up shocking his heart that Friday, and he came home that Saturday. They put him on another IV medication for several hours before he had the treatment, and he's on a pill form of that med for now. He was in touch with the Rochester Cardiologist all the time he was hospitalized. We have to go back to Rochester the end of next week again.
I didn’t even know blood clots were a danger from chemo. It sounds like you’ve got to be continually alert to stop problems early and that you’re all staying on top of things. I’m so sorry you all have to deal with all this. I hope the meds get balanced out and deal with the interacting problems. Very glad he has a family that watches out for him. That makes him a lucky one.
