I am wondering if there are no drugs that can offset the leg-swelling side effect of the cancer treatment and not also interfere with the treatment. Or maybe they would not interfere with the treatment so much but might disqualify his care from the clinical trial and thus disqualify him from the treatment. I’m guessing Rush has very high quality doctors who know all those answers.

After reading I feel optimistic for him.
Go Rush!

They go together. My son went through it. You take some massive hard chemo and then you get gobs of IV’s to flush it through.

When your legs get full it can turn into scrotal edema. Pretty nasty stuff.

Every other week my son would walk into the hospital but need to be wheeled out five days later.

What Rush is going through is some pretty tough stuff.
