A member asked:
My husband has sepsis, mrsa, dvts's and his immune system is compromised due to chemo, is there anything that can be done?

Intensive care: I assume he must be in intensive care and he is probably getting a lot of supportive care such as IV fluids, antibiotics, etc. My best wishes for him, depending if his kidneys are affected, with good care one hopes he will pull through.Best of luck and wishes

GCSF: In addition to the supportive care in an ICU already mentioned, depending on the type of cancer he has, gcsf can help stimulate the immune system to recover after chemotherapy. Gcsf is not recommended if the underlying cancer is leukemia, but for solid tumors, it may be helpful. I wish you and your husband the best.
