LUEKEMIA TRANSPLANT AND OSTEOPENIA
by SHIRLEY GIPSON
MY HUSBAND WAS DIAGNOSED IN 2001 CML. HE WENT INTO THE BLAST PHASE IN 2004 WITH 6 T0 8 WEEKS TO LIVE.I WON'T BORE YOU WITH ALL THE HORROR SINCE THEN BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH ,BUT HE IS ALIVE. BUT THEY HAD TO GIVE HIM SO MUSH PREDNISONE ONE YEAR AFTER TRANSPLANT TO SAVE HIS LIFE IT DESTROYED HIS BONES. HE LOST 5 INCHES IN HEIGHT SEVERAL VERTEBRAE FRACTURED IN HIS BACK, THEY SAID HIS BONES WERE LIKE BUTTER. FIRST WALKER, THEM WHEELCHAIR, I FINALLY TOOK HIM TO THIS DOCTOR IN CHATTANOOGA THAT E-RAYED HIS BACK AND SAID THERE WAS NO SURGERY FOR HIM BUT THERE WAS A SHOT FORTEO THAT HE WANTED HIM TO TRY. IF THAT DID NOT WORK HE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THE FLOOR. HE STARTED TAKING A SHOT IN HIS STOMACH EVERY NIGHT FOR 2 YEARS, THATS HOW LONG YOU TAKE IT. HE IS STRAIGHTENED UP, WALKS WITH OUT AID, WE FEEL SO BLESSED. THIS SHOT IS FOR WOMEN BY THE WAY AND QUITE EXPENSIVE.I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT. HE HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS... IF ANYONE WANTS TO TALK TO HIM FEEL FREE TO CALL 931-607-7801 GOD BLESS |
