Good Morning Makes Mike! I am the daughter of the Carlsbad 317, when sharing information on the site it is a retell with his input. I try to keep in general, but when he wants to include something specific I do – and incidently in his voice as I write what he says.
To sum it up-
Two trips to the ER back to back- first was bleeding from the booty- nothing could be found wrong so discharged.
Following day another visit because an overall sick feeling.
He was septic with booty abscess right inside the booty cheek with surgical removal. Worst place due to liquid diarrhea and the challenge of keeping it bandaged.
Sever Toxicity due to Ipi/Nivo stopped after 3, with 20 day radiation. Been off Ipi/Nivo since June but the liquid diarrhea has not stopped.
Staycation in hospital extended due to in house docs treating chronic side effects
Of immunotherapy and not just the abscess wound.
Due to chronic issues from Ipi/nivo had to fight as a family for discharge home instead of LTC.
Finally made it out and adding to the above post learned getting home care is challenging due to the many docs from the hospital sending orders or lack of.
Currently on 80 mg of steroids a day to help control diarrhea until wound heals.
Hope this clarifies-!
Enjoy your stay with you brothers.
