My husband was diagnosed in august 2021 and has so far been managing his treatment quite well. Unfortunately his dose has had to be reduced due to ankle swelling and achey legs. He now seems terribly weak. It’s disheartening as everything seemed to be going so well. His protein levels have gone from 20 to 2% in three cycles so hopefully we’re in the right path.
Has anyone else has these problems?
Hi again Loonylil, so sorry to hear about the challenges your husband is having.
I have a compactly different type of blood cancer and treatment but I can say that the problems your husband is having with regards to ankle swelling and achey legs happens a lot with many other treatments. Lets look for things to improve soon and things to stay on the right path.
Oh I know the Stem Cell Transplant journey well having had two donor Stem Cell Transplants myself.
Do remember that we have our dedicated Stem cell transplant support group where you can talk with others from many cancer types who have walked or supported family in their Stem Cell Transplant.
