GADawg/MOD replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself"Hello again,
Thanks for your kind words. Chemo is cumulative, so many people don't feel any effects until after the third cycle or so. Just wanted you to prepare for that, although my mom did great with chemo and I hope Keith does the same. I…"
John H MOD replied to COcaregiver's discussion Scans are scary (SCLC) how do you get through?"Leanna Hi , you know all the fund raising and stuff you can always do on your own. It's a good escape for you and even maybe for your partner from you. No offense just sometimes we can get so wrapped up with the situation we are in that we…"
Sjgraves replied to COcaregiver's discussion Scans are scary (SCLC) how do you get through?"Leanna,
David mentioned that he is taking Xanax to help with his anxiety. I am a caregiver to my husband who was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with stage IV lung cancer. The day after we found out I woke up (well, I didn't really wake up because I…"
Sjgraves replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself"Thanks for the encouragement!!! we are not giving up hope, both my husband and I are determined to prove them wrong!! Keith and his second chemo treatment today with no adverse side effects so far. He had 9 days of radiation prior to the chemo to…"
GADawg/MOD replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself"Hi Sjgraves,
I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Statistics are just statistics and don't necessarily apply to individual situations. So don't give up hope! My mom was told 2-5 years at her diagnosis, then a month later they changed…"
GADawg/MOD replied to Merry's discussion celebration time"Congrats, Merry! 5 years is quite a milestone. And lung cancer twice?! You deserve a party!"
John H MOD replied to John H MOD's discussion Chemo and long term effects"I think it's not a problem to give Facebook info. It is yours to give or not. I think you would be better served by doing it in a private message. You never know who might read and open post.
I didn't loose weight when I went through…"

Sjgraves replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself"Hi Amy,
He actually started his chimo today, they are giving him one dose of Carboplatin and Etoposide on day one then just Etoposide on day 2 and day 3. Then 3 weeks off then round 2. She stays 4 to 6 rounds. Then the question, do you want to know…"
AmyLCA replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself"Hi sjgraves,
Cancer can be a truly overwhelming experience for both patients as well as caregivers. Has he started treatment? Can you tell us a little bit about what his treatments are or what else you know about his lung cancer?
Amy"
AmyLCA commented on Rowland's blog post Cancer Reappeared"Hi Rowland,
Carbo/Taxol/Avastin is a pretty standard combination of drugs, so hopefully others will chime in. I think Taxol is more associated with peripheral neuropathy than Alimta, so if you start to feel any tingling in your hands or feet, talk…"
AmyLCA replied to Greensmythe's discussion The Story of My Blog- Cancer: Dammitt!"Hi Kiki,
I am sorry that you have had such a difficult time with your cancer. May I suggest that you post this as a new post, as opposed to a reply to Greensmythe's? That way more people might see it. If you need help…"
Kiki. replied to ElaineK's discussion Things my doctor didn't tell me..."I feel like you do. I'd rather know what I'm facing and have time to deal w/ it and accept it on my own terms/time. That's just so wrong of the doc's. I felt I had to do the reserch myself..for the most…"
Kiki. replied to ElaineK's discussion Things my doctor didn't tell me..."Hi Merry,
I can hardly believe that you can have cancer twice.??? How nia've I am. I haven't done much studying on cancer because maybe I don't really want to know..or at least..I didn't then. Now, I do. Tell me…"
Kiki. replied to John H MOD's discussion Chemo and long term effects"Thanks! I didn't know chemo had long term effects. I don't know much at all about the whole cancer thing other than I'm going through the treatments. Surgery, chemo, & radiation. I feel ignorant to this…"
