Hi Tylersdad, welcome to this friendly site. Good luck for Monday.
Hello Tylersdad. I've not heard of the drug before, but on looking at this site medicines.org.uk/emc/medici... under Respiratory, lists
Interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis as a common side effect. I think your pulmonary doctor would be the best person to ask. Good luck with your appointment on Monday.
Hi Tylersdad
I did a quick search on Blemycin and it looks to be some nasty stuff and as you say is known to cause lung problems. All I can say is make sure your medical people know that you have had it in the past. I wish you well my friend.

Hi Tylersdad, so sorry you are so unwell, I do hope that your condition becomes stable soon with the help of oxygen and the good recommendation of the medical team treating you.
I don't know about the drug Bleomycin but believe there is a wiki page on it. I don't know anyone who has mentioned this before.
Hope you are soon feeling better.
Best wishes BC
Hello again Tylersdad, I dont know if you can ring the BLF helpline on Monday? Calling from UK it's the cost of a local call. They may have information which may better add to your knowledge. Worth a try. Over here we say;knowledge is power on medical issues.
Wishing you well for Monday xxx
