Debbie, I am so very sorry. My prayers are with you and your loved ones. Wendy

Three cheers for many more anniversaries ahead Carol!! A celebration was definetly in order and it sounds like you had a great one. Wendy

Gail, My deepest sympathy. Wendy

I hope you have a truly enjoyable visit. Time for both of you to relax and get to feeling better. Wendy

Hi Susan, I can't say that I have heard of swelling you are describing. Maybe other members will have an idea. I hope you find out what is going on and that it is resolved quick and easily. Wendy

Many more prayers, Wendy

Thanks so much for checking in - We can always use good news! Wendy

Hi Marianne, This may sound a little "off" but have you ever had an optical mirgraine headache? I never had them until after I was given Cisplatin/VP16. Suddenly I would be hit with vision problems - spots bright/dark/strobe lights, focus off, Blind spots,nausea - that type of thing. I initially only got the weird vision disturbances but never got the actual migraine headache- now occasionally I get the full blown headache (but more times I can ward it off with drugs once I noticed the signs of one coming on). After several mri's of the brain, eyes checked, ears checked they finally figured out I had optical migraines. Keep us posted, Wendy

I am so happy for you Dave!! Cheers, Wendy

Cheers to continued better days and a healthy Hank being release from the hospital. Wendy

Hi Maryea, I wanted to chime in that my mets in my spine & pelvis were caught with my pet scans. Once there was an abnormality noted, I had MRI's to look at the spine closer. Mention it to her doctors if the pain continues so they can investigate it further. My doc has a policy that I am to call her and report anything pain/aches etc. if they don't go away on their own after 2 weeks. Waiting the 2 weeks has helped me not to worry so much. I have my fingers crossed that mom will be feeling better soon. Keep us posted, Wendy

Great news! Wendy

Paul, So sorry to hear about the new met causing pain - I hate this cancer! I did have radiation to my ischuim bone in my pelvis 2 1/2 yrs ago for a met. This is the butt cheek bone that you sit on. I was given 10 radiation treatments and the pain did go away, along with the cancer. I started feeling better about a week or 2 after the radiation. I since have no cancer in that area or pain (other than an occasional ache). Try not to get too discouraged by the time line. These docs really don't know how much time we have. I hope that Michael starts getting some pain relief soon. Keep us posted. Wendy

Debi, Cheers to many more years! Thanks for sticking around and giving others hope and inspiration. Wendy

Welcome Vickie, Wendy

Kelly, More prayers, Wendy

Right handed by left lung..... Wendy

Great News, Wendy

Slight acid reflux symptoms. Doc thought that was all it was, but did an ekg and chest xray. Both came back great. Doc sent me home with reflux meds. One day later Doc calls back and the radiologist compared my scan to one done 2 years ago and found a spot on my lung...... Wendy

Great news! Wendy
