My husband has 6 more radiation treatments to go, and today was last chemo. He was feeling in pretty good spirits today, even though we were at oncology center all day. They gave him a shot of Aranesp because his blood count was slightly low. That was the first time he had that. Later this afternoon, his behavior became very different, angry, disgusted. When we got home, an issue came up, unrelated to his illness or treatment-it was actually about a problem with our dog-- and he became very angry, almost violent, threatening to throw things. He was shouting, even though his voice is hardly there. I tried to calm him down and when I couldn't, began shouting back, threatening to call the doctor. After a few minutes, he finally quit, I burst out crying, left the room, and am now sitting here writing this. Could this be a side effect of that shot? Should I call the doctor? I am kind of nervous.
