This is an update from thursday.
Dad has got an infection below his left lung.They thought he had swine flu but tests said not,they thought it was an infection due to hickman line so they removed it, x ray result tonite said an infection below left lung.
He in ICU, he on meds to help raise bp as too low, he has really bad pain in chest but heart machine said heart good so think pains due to lung infection, he had three or four blood infusions, he on antibiotics for infection, they gave tamiflu as a precaution b4 they had results so he had that aswell, not eating. had two cuppas,breathless, just looks terrible.
We;re so worried about him,Has anyone got a similar experience to share?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=228898&amp;AppID=24074&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="Eating" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/mpurchall/archive/tags/Eating" /><category term="Lymphoma, non-Hodgkin" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/mpurchall/archive/tags/Lymphoma_2C00_%2bnon_2D00_Hodgkin" /><category term="infection" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/mpurchall/archive/tags/infection" /></entry></feed>
