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.
Thank You!
Love,
Laurie
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
Hi everyone!
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!!!:-)
Thanks!!
Much love,
Laurie
