He has a urinary tract infection...he has thrush/thrash..he was dehydrated...all diagnosed by emergency room doctors this past Sunday....
so yes..there are other things going on..I know..and yes..he finished last week..
so..should he at some point regain some strength?? or is it all downhill from here..
are the infections he has along with the chemo/radiation..just making him physically weak..or is this just a sign of things to come?
As others have stated, all of this is the result of a compromised immune system. I wish chemo would just go in and take out the tumor, but there is a lot of collateral damage.
Patient's do regain strength. It is not down hill from here. He does need some guidance from his medical team to help him recover right now. That will determine how quickly he bounces back.
You know where to find me if you need me real time.
