I personally don't think you are taking strong enough meds for the leg pain. If you got the pain under control, you might be able to walk a little more and that would strengthen the legs and possibly reduce the pain as well. Think about it. Don
David, are you on a diuretic, like Lasix? Lucie had to use a diuretic during treatment, and even now, occasionally she starts swelling in the legs and we put her back on temporarily. Don
Andrea, neat! My wife and I enjoy little things more now. She enjoys making quilts and runners for various people and is on a tear to make many. I enjoy her enjoying that. I wish you many more little moments. Don
Iressa induced bilateral pneumonia in my wife, much like many cases in Japan. Luckily, she has healthy lungs, so she survived. This only happens in less than 1% of the cases, but if you are in that group, as she was, it doesn't matter how many didn't get it. I am happy for those who are taking it and it is working. All drugs have risks. We just need to educate ourselves contstantly on what those risks are and make decisions based on the knowledge. Don
Some people are clods. Do they not know you are battling cancer? If they do, they are double clods. We are called to forgive them, for they know not what they do. Vent anytime, Heather. Don
TAnn, glad you're back home and getting better. Lots of people here sick and tired of being sick and tired, so you have plenty of company with people who understand. Hang in there. Keep us posted. Don
