Yesterday, when Linda went to pick up Syed from his treatment, she learned that Syed had a reaction to the infusion. He became short of breath and suddenly, physically weak. Linda and the doctors thought it best he be admitted to the hospital for the sole purpose of monitoring.
Linda then followed the ambulence to the hospital. Once Syed was settled into his room, within the hour, she was releaved to see his breathing return to normal. He still had difficulty talking, however. Syed typically has difficulty talking after each treatment.
This morning, he seems to be back to his usual self but just a little tired from the experience. The doctors decided to keep him in the hospital one more day. Linda and I are very confident that he will be returning home tomorrow.
For the moment, he will not be taking phone calls (I actually have his mobile phone) so he can thoroughly rest. I will be talking with the doctor directly to find more details about the reaction and discuss next steps. I will send out another update this evening.
All the best and Syed truly appreciates your support.

When Syed Rizvi gets rid of his cancer--hopefully soon--this detailed blog would become a wonderful source of information for other cancer patients. Thanks to Linda and Caroline for taking care of Syed Rizvi and for maintaining this blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Syed;
ReplyDeleteI did not know that you have been fighting cancer. I am glad to hear that you have been going through the treatment and hopefully the next round will be easier than the previous.
I wish you well my friend. I will also drop an email, just in case.
Take care.
