Hi all, I am really concerned about my husband who has Stage 4, Gleason 9 PC. He had his last chemotherapy round at the beginning of December and will start radiotherapy beginning of February but I am really concerned about his chest. He has had 4 courses of antibiotics and a course of steroids, prednisolone, for this but he is still coughing and wheezing. Has anyone experienced this after chemotherapy or should I be worried and request a chest X-ray to rule out anything sinister?
thank you all
Hi Jnc welcome to the forum and sorry that you have not had a reply as yet. I imagine that as he has had chemo his immune system will be somewhat compromised and he will be very susceptible to infections. I wonder if his GP should be approached for a referral for an Xray of his chest or could the chemo unit arrange this for him.
Personally I think it is worth having this conversation with hubby's GP and asking them to get an X-Ray completed and at least put your minds at rest.
Best wishes with it all and do let us know how you get on. x
