My neighbor has been having issues with her hand. When she uses it too much she gets a bad lump around the base of her thumb and it sometimes turns black and blue. It is very painful. She has been on disability since she works as a dental assistant and can't use her hand.
She told me that the doc's newest plan is that he put her on oral chemotherapy pills...........HOLY CRAP??????????
I had to ask her a few times if she was sure she was telling me right.
The first few doses she had a bad reaction........imagine that! She called the doc to "make sure" they were really ok to take...her hubby said "the dr gave them to you so they are fine......"
Oh my!!!
They think she may have an auto immune disease...and chemotherapy pills can help.........OMG! What next! I told her there were other alterantives and that she needs to re think what she is doing. Sad thing is she even looked up the risks and side affects.........and is still taking them because her and her susband trust the docs.
