Let's see if I can compile a list of the ailments that hit me after Chemo and radiation:
COPD
Thickened blood in chest from chemo port, so had to take blood thinners
Treatment area became infected, so antibiotics, hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and biological dressings
Depression and anxiety
Osteoarthritis
Pneumonia
Oh yeah...my hair didn't grow back.
