hi…my name is lyn and my dh was dx with blc in march…it started in a diverticuli outside the bladder wall…they don’t actually know how much it has spread but are treating it as a stage 3 cancer…he has gone thru chemo (gemzar) and radiation…his last treatment was june 11…he did fairly well during his treatment…had some fatique…lost a little weight…but since his last treatment he has been miserable…he doesn’t have any energy…his muscles are very week…he’s had a stent put into his right kidney when they removed the tumor as it was in the opening of the kidney…2 weeks ago he had to have a stent put into his left kidney as it was blocking up…he is taking morphine sulfate 2xday and vicodin every 4 hrs…he still has a lot of pain that they are saying is normal…he has no appetite and food doesn’t taste good to him at all…he has lost weight in the last 2 weeks…he is now down to 93#…he only weighed 111 when they found the cancer…i am concerned about his continued pain and fatique tho he hasn’t had any treatment for a month and 1/2…seems like he should be doing better…he was a very active person before this.
the drs don’t seemed to be as concerned as i do…has anyone else experienced this? any info would sure be appreciated…thanks…lyn
