I have a question about the episode Episode 1387 - Rob Delaney / Sam Lipsyte and the clip Navigating Tragedy. I personally feel devastated by the news and believe I have lost complete control of my life. This situation has affected all areas of my life. I’ve had to put my business on hold due to the demanding nature of the chemotherapy used to treat this type of cancer. I have two young children, and taking care of them while not being able to bring in money has been extremely difficult. The side effects from all the chemo I have had have made me very weak, extremely fatigued, nauseous, and easily confused. I’ve also developed a blood clot in the area where the tumors are and high blood pressure, so I am on blood thinners and blood pressure medication. I am also on TRT due to the orchiectomy. My life is in shambles. I am writing to you in hopes that maybe I can find some solutions to help get me off of blood thinners and blood pressure medicine, and also figure out how to go about reducing the chances of cancer coming back and maybe avoiding the surgery if at all possible.
