Natalie, so sorry about your mom. Good that you vented here your frustration. Don't hesitate. My prayers are with you. Don
-
Lucie goes for Total Bone Scan and X-ray of the chest Friday morning. This is her check-up time. Things are going well. Prayers solicited. Thanks a bunch! Don
-
Sorry you got the run-around. Sounds like things are on track now. Best to you. Don

Marcia, my wife had a rash and the numbness in her extremities due to the chemo. The onc gave her a prescription for a rash lotion. We had to live with the numbness until the chemo was over. Don

Bud, I'm happy to hear all went well in the testing. As far as the rolodex, we have a list of the doctors on computer, with their phone numbers, and a printout in a ring binder on the table. Don

Hi, Veronica! Yes, I remember you. Sorry you are in a struggle with the disease right now. I agree that you should have the headaches looked into. Get beyond the afraid -- afraid doesn't help and could hurt. Good luck. Don
-
Well, it's okay to have a pity party as long as it comes to an end. Sounds like yours is over for now. Good for you! Sorry Buddy has to put up with yet another cancer but it sounds like they can take care of it. Best to both of you. Don

Hi, Betty! Welcome to our "lttle" group here. Much info and support. You might consider asking the doctor for something like Nexium for your acid stomach. Prilosec is over the counter now. No use suffering anything you don't have to. Best regards. Don

Greatest news, Wenna! Celebrate! Don

I am not sure where you saw twice a day radiation. The norm is once a day for so many days. Don

Jim, thanks for posting. We all loved Ada -- she was so supportive of everyone. I went to school back in the 50's with a Jay Waddell, but it would be a long shot that you were related. Please do keep in touch. God's blessings. Don

Good to hear you're in a good place, Becky. Way to go! Don

Aransep or Procrit, some med like those, help with RBC. Don

Plan sounds good to me, Ginny. Onward! Don

Kathi, sorry about your dad. On the WBC, Lucie took Neulasta to keep her WBC up during chemo. You might inquire about that. Can you dad eat chocolate cake if you whip it up in a blenderwith some liquid? Wishing the best. Don
-
Kristi, so sorry to hear all the problems your mom is having. You are both in my prayers. Don
-
Cheryl, I am saddened by the news of Dick's passing. My heart goes out to you. Please do stay connected here. Don

Don Wood replied to Jennifer D's topic in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER
Jennifer, so sorry you are hit with all these things at once. Yes, my wife had radiation and chemo at the same time because time was of the essence. She was able to pull through, with a lot of liquid meals. Her prognosis last year was 9 months. She is past the first year and going strong. So don't get into the statistics. And the advice to take care of yourself and the baby is right on. Good luck. Don -
Haing in there, Dave! I think you got good support here. Don
-
Does your mom normally have any hobbies or interests? My wife sews and when she could get back to the sewing, limited though it has been, it helped lift her spirits. We go out to eat occasionally just to get her out and about. Try to get your mom focused on something she likes besides herself, as hard as that may be. Don
-
Jay, glad to hear you are home and recovering. Best to you. Don
-
It could well be bone mets that are causing the pain. I would not wait until the first of the year for a scan of the area. Lucie's onc does scans of the area whenever she had severe pain somewhere, just to be sure. Don
-
Thanks, Donna, for keeping us up-to-date on Connie. So happy to hear Connie is home now. Best to her. Don
-
Becky, sorry you are having so much trouble with coughing. Do you use a nebulizer? I know that helped Lucie as well as the meds. Best to you. Don
