Welcome to Connect @jojo2059 . It has to be heart wrenching to see your brother going through so many health issues. My husband had high grade bladder cancer diagnosed 5 years ago. He has had multiple surgeries and did have chemo with Cisplatin after the first surgery. He was recommended to have a port and that worked well for him. It was removed around a year after treatment. Your brother needs help in making the decisions about treatment, but ultimately it is his decision unless he is declared mentally incompetent. Has he had neurologic testing for his potential dementia?

Hi Sue, yes he did have an MRI at an outside company. We have not seen the results yet. His new oncologist referred him back to neurology. He is having a hard time with incontinence. Having to wear pads & diapers. Administering the chemo is a huge problem to get him to finish his treatments. How long did your hubby have his port before treatment started? Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your welcome post Sue. He just had a MRI waiting on results. He had a bad fall at work where he fell backwards and hit the back of his head. He has not been the same after that fall. Waiting on a Neurologist appt. He starts January 6th with chemo. He really is confused and can’t make up his mind. Hoping to get clarity soon. But the docs still do not want to put a port in.😭
