My son is now 22. He was diagnosed with ALL-Tcell Luekemia in 07
when he was 18. He was on Predisone and Dexamenthasone.
He has had bi-lateral hip replacements from the steroid causing
him Osteocroasis and now he just found out today that he has to
have a total knee replacement because he has
infartions/osteonecrosis. All from this horrible steroids.
I do not know how to get compensation for him as we have had to
try and pay his bills along with ours and he can not live a
productive life from the pain he has in his body. He is cancer
free but the side effects are preventing him from doing the
things he wants to do. I am so sadden by this. I just found out
this drug may not even be FDA approved. What do I do?
