He was doing well with his ABVD treatment. He was in partial remission and the cancer was clearing up nicely. The problem was that the consultant overlooked the CT scan and the x ray. These both showed lung damage.  The consultant continued with his chemo, when infact he should have stopped administering the bleomycin drug. How are you? Did your lung scarring come out after your chemo had finished or during your treatment? My father had 10 of the 12 treatments. Rustyone rustyone Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT Hi rustyone i have minimal scarring in both lungs,prior from doing ABVD it was not there,i'm in my early fifties i did smoke for 20 yrs but soon as i was diagnosed i went cold turkey, was your dad a smoker also how old was he and what stage was he,would really like to know,sorry for your loss-Vinnie Vinnie Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT HiI have just lost my father as a result of pulmonary toxicity. This was caused by the bleomycin drug administered during his combination chemo. I just wanted people to be aware of the problems that this drug can cause. Has anyone had similar problems? rustyone Sun, 08 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT
