They say he may not be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant because of the way his body reacted to this heavy chemo and how the infections took such a tole on him. Has anyone else experienced such a experience with the recovery from the chemo and then continued on later with transplant. This was a very athletic work out person 5-6 times a week and ate very well and now speech slurred, sloppers some and has to use walker. They say no to stroke since he had CT of head when delirious with fever. They say it’s all part of the process.
For the voiding at night, try condom catheters.
