Hello,
my husband was finally diagnosed with AITL in Dec ‘24 but due to his severe heart failure his treatment was palliative with cyclophosphomide & steroids only. The cyclophosphomide was stopped about five weeks ago when he deteriorated and slept for 9 days in a row. There is a DNR in place and he has visits from the palliative care team too.
He has developed a painful node in his throat which has been swollen for over 18 months, no fever, painful to swallow at times, and his breath is really bad, his teeth seem to be ok.
I’m at a bit of a loss as what to do.
Many thanks.
