I am 82+ with recent diagnosis of HG T 1 and CIS cancer what can I ct?
The last eight months I have experienced several medical emergencies. It started off with Afib in December, then a heart attack with double stints in February, then a triple petforation of my small intestines. It was on the CT scan that they discovered my bladder cancer. It was on the second resection that my CIS cancer was discovered. Now my first treatment is on Sept 10 and I am apprehensive of treatment because of sepsis. Iam a severe CVD and CKD patient and worried about treatment.

It’s understandable with your history of cardiac and kidney disease to be apprehensive to start treatment in regards to infections. Having any type of cancer treatments can compromise the immune system, along with the cancer itself. You can lower your risk of infection by following guidelines set out by cancer specialists. I had to follow strict rules and they worked to keep me safe. Here is a list of helpful tips from the National Foundation for Cancer Research
