My husband has ext. stage sclc, dx in June 02, He seems to be making a stay at the hospital every month, I had to admit his yesterday again, the chemo he is on Cytoxan, vincristine and adria seem to be causing a problem every time, He has had problem with his blood counts, and platlets he can deal with this, but now it is his legs, they are very swallon, and he can hardly walk, he is getting a wheel chair because he is having so much trouble, his blood pressure is up, and it seems that the Adria part of the chemo can cause a problem with the heart, so i dont know it getting the chemo is killing him, and not getting the chemo will kill him, i am so stressed out at this point. They are going to do a echo and an mri on the spine to rule out a tumor there, they have him or steroids, blood thinner, he has infection his white cells are real high, they think they will may a major drop in about a day. He is very depressed because he cant do anything anymore.

Has anyone has this problem or know anyone having this problem, i dont know what to think anymore, I am not even sure i want to know what is going on, because i am afraid he will have heart failure, he is also having problem with breathing again. This is just very scary for me and i dont know what to think

Thanks for listening
