Does anyone have experience with the chemo drug metabolizing much to slowly or not at all creating a toxic effect in the body? The drug I'm on now is supposed to be metabolized within 72 hours. I was excreting large amounts in my urine and stool for several days after that. Nine days later, people can smell it coming out of my pours at times. My family and friends believe that I will likely die if I do another round of this drug. My doctor has refused to do any type of drug response test, or to change my chemo drug even though my insurance covers this. From what I understand, organ shut-down is not uncommon. I've never had this problem before, but never had to take any type of heavy medication. Before the chemo, I first noticed this with some morphine type drugs. My sister is lacking many enzymes and is multi-drug resistant. Problems with her extreme enzyme deficiencies ended her career as a college teacher. She became 100% disabled in 1999. Please excuse my grammar, phrasing, etc.. I’ve been experiencing cognitive difficulties after starting the chemo.
Any advice would be appreciated...
