Read the Book Blood Feud by Kathleen Sharp about the lawsuit by Doxbury and the many frauds committed by J&J.

This is regarding Procrit and Aranesp (DVT, severe fatigue, HBP, confusion/dizziness, heart failure, severe swelling, cancer, no kidney disease, no chemo administered, undiagnosed cancer). Don’t know if statute of limitations has passed. Been putting this out there for a long time. Our mother was a victim of those drugs. From 2001 through 2008, she was under the care of an oncologist. In 2001, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and radiation. It appeared that the cancer had not spread and she recuperated well. In Feb. 2004 (maybe Feb. 03 [not sure]), her oncologist began giving her Procrit injections every 2 to 6 weeks for minor fatigue/anemia. In Sept. 2004, she was hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism/DVT. Procrit injections continued, and in addition, she was put on Coumadin for the next 4 years. She was switched to Aranesp in 2006 and continued getting injections regularly until April 2008. Between 2004 and 2008, her fatigue became severe even with the shots. Her quality of life steadily declined. She suffered with DVT, head pain which increased in intensity over the years (even a shot of novacaine into her brain didn’t help), high blood pressure, severe dizziness and confusion, severe loss of balance, swelling of the legs, shortness of breath, and chronic heart failure (June 2007 ). During a follow-up visit, our mother’s cardiologist was concerned about her pallor. She asked my sister and I to talk with her oncologist about her pale eyes and gums, but he didn’t think anything of it (this was the first of two times the cardiologist actually stepped in with concerns.) She was still getting Aranesp injections. We discussed her many symptoms many times with her doctors. In April/May 2008, after discovering blood in her stool (and then vomiting stool), she was admitted to the hopsital where it was discovered she had Stage IV colon cancer. It went completely undiagnosed by her doctors. Finally, the Aranesp shots were stopped. She underwent surgery in May to remove the tumor and had a resection, I think it’s called. She was released after a week or so and then re-admitted at the end of June for complications of surgery. Things were very unclear. Our requests were ignored and the surgeon released her. My sister and I took her home and she died a week and a half later on July 16, 2008. She never had chemotherapy and she never had kidney failure /disease. Thank you for your time.
