My Name is Tim.
I was being treated by Shand’s for cancer. They started me on a BEP treatment but had to switch to an EP treatment as the BEP put me in the hospital. While in the hospital My cancer doctor told me if I did not follow through with his recommendations to be on the BEP treatment that I would die. His exact words.
A few weeks after the treatment was done, I developed long nerve peripheral neuropathy. I have lost use and feeling in my hands and feet. Lost dexterity as I cannot fully feel what I am doing with my hands and feet. Everyday tasks have gotten difficult and even driving
is dangerous as I can barely feel the pedals. Not to mention that even almost a year later I still have brain fog, partial POTs and some memory issues from the chemo as well. The memory issues along with the neuropathy are starting to affect my job as I am an
Information systems manager and have to use my hands and think critically daily.
It has taken months to see their neurologists and the two I have seen both said all these problems are most likely from the chemo or are consistent with the chemo. They also said that it will not get better as it is nerve damage. The hospital knows they made a mistake and will not do anything about it. Plus lawyers will not touch Shand’s as they have Sovereign Immunity under Florida State Law. Not sure what else to do as my doctors are talking about putting me on disability. I wont be able to afford my home or anything if they do so. I’m looking to get help wherever I can to make life easier when they put me on disability. I don’t want to lose my home or vehicle.
