I wish my dad never got chemo....then he might not have gotten the pneumonia from his weakened system. He had cancer in the lining between his bladder and prostate. There were spots in his abdomen and neck lymph nodes. The last scan he had 3 weeks prior to death showed the cancer hadn’t spread from the May scan. My dad was 81 years old and was a health nut. Riding bike, hiking, and swimming every day. We are still in shock.
I’m very sorry to hear what happened. For my dad, the surgery is what caused a complication and debilitated him, leaving him too weak to receive chemo. We looked into alternative treatments then, but no place would take him soon enough. The cancer spread everywhere, but, in the end, he did finally receive one light chemo treatment because he wanted so badly to try something. All in all, he lived a mere six months after diagnosis. We were in shock, too.
My first chemo treatment put me in the hospital for a week. Looking forward to the day when researchers come up with a better treatment.
