Title: RE: [MOL] Think about this while your drinking your beer. hehehe.....
Hello!
Pop's down to 10mg. Pred at
night, but may need to keep on with it a little longer, I agree. Not much
snoring right now. A DP machine would be a...? Must inquire about
the Combivent / Flovent combination to see if it might do the trick. Would
beat having to continue for a while on the Pred.
Laurie: I would think your father
needs both the prednizone and the inhaler for the shortness of
breath. By the way does he snore? A DP machine would also help
on his breathing. I have the same problems only it is from the addison
disease and mine is not from the cancer. Your friend,
Lillie
Has anybody experienced difficulty
EXHALING all the air from the lungs following radiation
treatments? Pop is having a real time with this & has to
actually huff & puff to clear the Co2 from his lungs. The
onc. said it's atypical to his NSCLC radiation treatment; just the
loss of elasticity from rad. poisoning. We've set him up w/ a
Family Dr. here & they got him a non-steroidal inhaler to try so
he can get off the Prednisone. Doesn't seem to help
much. His onc. from FL says he needs some steroids in it to
get the desired results...(I think that's still better than the
Pred. by mouth!) Just wondering if anybody had the name of a
good inhaler or drug to help him over this hump. We've got
stairs in our home & it takes it out of him just to get into the
house! Not to mention him picking up his Grandkids!!!:-)
