Hi Eppie, I have been gone a few weeks so I just heard about your Dad. I was so sad to read of his passing. I hope in the days ahead yur grief becomes more bearable and that you will be able to feel some joy in your life again...With Love, Janet

Hi Eppie, My Moms tumor responded great to taxotere. She didnt have diarrhea though just fatigue.Hang in there. Janet

Hi Sue, I had similiar dreams for several weeks after my Mom died and I agree they are horrible. Its like going through it over and over. My bad dreams seem to have stopped and Im hoping yours will soon too and to be replaced by good dreams. Love, Janet

Hi Connie, I think a second opinion is a good idea but I think it is difficult to switch the radiation. The chemo should be easy to switch.Sometimes I think the doctors tell us Mom is doing well but they have very strange definitions of doing well. When I knew my Mom was failing more every day the doc kind of patted us and said "oh I dont know why you are upset, she is doing great..everything is fine" Meanwhile, everyday that went by she was weaker and weaker. Hope you are able to find a doctor who will give you better info. Janet

Hi Donna, Im sorry you are feeling so sad. I have no advice as I am not too happy myself.. I guess all we can do is take things one day at a time and try to make our loved ones in heaven proud of us. Janet

Hi Lori, Glad Mom had a nice day. Janet

Thank you Katie and Rick...this is a wonderful site. Janet

Hi Holly, so sorry to hear aabout your Aunts passing. I hope Mom and her had a nice reunion in heaven. Janet

I Know how you feel and I think that only time...a lot of it , makes these losses more bearable. Not okay but better. My Mom passed in November and sometimes its like it just happened yesterday. Im sure our loved ones are doing much better then we who were left behind. They are happy and healthy and we are here missing them. Prayers for us all to be strong and go on. Love, Janet

Hi F., My Mom also did not want visitors...I ahave no answers, I just told her friends she was asleep or not feeling up to a visit and I would update them on her condition. Its hard because people truly want to visit but if your Mom says no its no, right. Best of luck to you. Janet

Karen, My condolences on the loss of your husband to this horrible disease. Wishing for peace for yu in the months to come. Janet

Welcome aboard...hope your spot turns out to be nothing. Let us know. Janet

Hi Jodi, Wonderful news...keep it up. Janet

Hi Everyone, I just want to share something that I find very odd. My Mom passed away in November, then my daughters friends Mom passed from LC in January, In February my husbands best friends wife was diagnosed with stage 4 LC. The day after he called us my Moms aide that helped take care of her the last few months called me to say she has lung cancer. To me this seems like too much to be a coincidence?? To me this must have some meaning...message but I dont know what???What do you guys think of this??? Janet

Hi Trish, Thats wonderful news..congratulations. Janet
