Suggest Interventions For Bladder Cancer Patients
Hello - caretaking my 95-year-old uncle who battles bladder cancer...we went outside in 100+ heat and humidity to tend to banking, and he began uncontrollable shaking and feeling pain in lower descending colon area. Home now, piled under blankets, hydrated, cool cloth - temperature is still 100 after 30 minutes. First aid or intervention suggestions - thanks much.
