Bob came home today. He hasn't had any more bleeding, thank the Lord! He is relieved. His temp hasn't been above normal for 4 days. He also had pneumonia in both lungs, but it is gone now.
One of his meds was for a fungal infection (I think), it is called Micafugin 150mg. He was also on Azithromycin 500mg, Vancomycin 1250mg, and Cefepime 2G. The dosages is what Bob was getting. Perhaps you could mention these to the Doc.
The infection specialist, that perscribed some of these, was wishing he wasn't on the neupogen, I guess it may hamper some other meds. She also said it can help cancer to grow. Though she said she knew he had to have it for MDS.
I am going to research Danizol and see if it is an option for Bob.
He is 53 by the way.
The BMT is going to be a last resort on his list. The statistics are a little scary. However if the Docs say there is no other option then, of coarse, he will take it. The first 10 months he was not tx dependent, now he is. He is doing what is needed to stay as well as he can. Right now he is confined to the house, and can only go to the Doctors office. He will wear a mask, then, due to other people being around.
Sorry this is so long!
Hope your mom gets better soon!!!
