To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download My brother and his treatment for CTCL My brother had skin tumors that were very wierd. Biopsies were taken in New York with no results. When Ira was seeing a woman , that is a biological researcher for a drug company, all of a sudden these tumors were related to CTCL Mycosis fungoites. My brother died during treatment at the Wake Forist University Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem. I need to speak to the right doctor’s to find out why. My brother was at stage 2-b and he had a nitro-mustard burn on his groin area. To avoid the risk of sepsis he was admitted for an alo-graph to protect the burnt skin. Before the skin graph my brother was given 5-l chemo through a pic line. The resident that was dealing with my brother’s case, told me and his health surogate/girlfriend, that they do not usually do both procedures together. Please help me with closure on this. My brother died with very low white and red blood cell’s and only 22 platelets.The pic line in my brother’s arm was very red after his 20 day hospital stay,it looked like celulitis. My brother was given a narcon bolis to see if they were giving him to much pain medicine. My brother was given i/v potassium when his level was at 4.6, why? My brother had a level of 5.7 potassium for 3 days and then his kidney function went down to 50%. The doctor wrote on the death certificate death due to sepsis from possible bowl rupture. Comments
