Mohammad, I have had similar issues with multiple problems (diabetes, two stents, kidney disease, blood thinners, an enlarged prostate and anemia) and needed cataract surgery. All of my doctors (hematologist, oncologist, GP, nephrologist, and cardiologist) advised: 1) that I wait for my blood to stabilize 2) stop taking blood thinners three days before surgery 3) do not take Tamsulosin for a week before surgery (if taking).
Your doctors will probably recommend similar actions. My first cataract surgery right eye was perfect, my second cataract surgery left eye went terribly wrong and took months to get it fixed due to doctor error.
You are going through a lot and I pray for our Lord to aid you through all of this. Best wishes and prayers!
I think we must all educate ourselves and then make our own decisions in life - what I choose to do will not suit everyone - nothing cures everyone of everything -Stay Well- Alex .
I keep you all in my prayers - I was impressed with what I read about cancer treatments in China- In Australia ,we now have Phenasan, Trisenox and Arsenol -These are all based on Chinese medicine : The Chinese have been treating various cancers for many hundreds of years .
Love is all we are, and faith is all we can be ! Get Well Soon - Alex .
It depends on how bad your cataracts are. Is this optional? Infection can result and make things worse. Being off blood thinner with stents is risking blood clots, bleeding or stroke. Know the risks. My mother-in-law went blind in her eye. I’ve noticed that doctors don’t understand MM, cancer and other medical issues and how it can impact a decision, so they tell you there is little risk. Unfortunately, they don’t see the whole picture.

I received my latest lab results from Hospital and the news is highly reassuring. My liver panel is
90% perfect , my kidney function is holding steady and safe, no abnormal M-protein with a completely normal Kappa/Lambda ratio. which explains
my low platelets, mild anemia, and why I feel so deeply tired and sleepy after lunch .
This morning the chemo nurse called me saying doctors has proceed on Valcade injection and Linalidomide salfasalazin still paused till 14 Oct and then appt with both doctors .and another blood test
to be done to discuss about changes or lower the dosage
Oncology appointment on 6 Nov F B C
Chest X/Ray ECG and consultation on my
Lung adenacarcicoma and look at the results
Taking the time to truly learn what my blood results mean has given me so much peace of mind. I am not just passively going through this; I am actively understanding my body so I can make sure with my specialists to get the best decisions for my health.
To everyone fighting their own battles: keep educating yourself, listen to your body when it demands rest, and stay strong.Stay Well! 💪
When it is difficulties and hardships we will must be patience to hold back from those things and done with prayers will be the eases
The most important thing to maintain your condition be consistent and steady
continuously and control you can manage it
“And as religion says your pain and idea is bless you will be in the special place”
