My husband has Richters Transformation or also called Richters Syndrome. He also has CLL that turned aggressive. On Feb. 29th he went into the hospital and was given 2 weeks to live, he is a miracle as they gave him CHOP and Rituxin therapy that has helped. He is still getting this chemo therapy every 21 days. But here is our question, when he went into the hospital they put a PIC Line in him, about 1 month later he began to feel terrible pain in his arm from the shoulder to the hand and it is a throbbing pain. When we went to talk to the doctors at UCSF for a possible bone marrow transplant (he decided not to do this) he told them of the pain so they took out the PIC Line. He has had no fever, no redness and the pain is getting worse. He now has excruciating pain down his leg. He is on Vicodon and some other pain killer meds, but hardly has relief. Has anyone else had this experience and if so what was it from? Lori Hagge |
