Sorry to hear this, Richard, but hopeful this could end up correcting some of the issues you have been having.
Terry has had a rough month. They changed him to that new drug, Entresto for his heart failure last month. It actually helped him in some ways till his kidneys nearly quit, which is one of those "not mentioned" side effects. After 7 weeks and gaining 22 pounds, they took him off of it. It requires 3 days off before starting back on his old medicine and those 3 days are really rough. But last night he started back on the old one and he went from looking like he was half dead to fixing me breakfast this morning. Oh happy day! The kidneys are starting back doing their job and things are looking better. Course we will still have issues we had before when they decided to put him on Entresto, but I really thought that after 21 years of this medicine doing a good job, why not just increase it a bit. Does that make sense? So, Entresto is NOT for everyone, regardless of what the adverts say. He was happy to try it, but glad to be off it now.
We will keep you in our prayers, Richard. Terry had to deal with prostate cancer 8 years ago. Because we fulltime, he was able to go to Houston to MD Anderson. He couldn't have surgery, but had a type of radiation which has done well for him.
