Couple left for hosp. in car/arrive in ambulance:film @ 11
Don Wood replied to Debaroo's topic in NSCLC GROUP
Deb, glad no one was inuured and things went okay. I'm with your husband -- go to DisneyWorld as soon as your dad is able. None of us knows how much time we have. That trip is too important to be "down the road". All of you would enjoy it so as a family. Blessings. Don -
My prayers are with them. Don

Cathy, you are an inspiration! That is awesome news! Celebrate! Don
-
Laura, super news! Celebrate. Don
-
Jay, continue to think of your mum, and what she would want of you, which, of course, is only the best you can be. Don

Hi, Becky! Glad the chemo is working and that you have the teaching to look forward to again. You need something positive right now. Sweet picture of you and yours. Blessings. Don

God does let us know in small but special ways that He is near and that He cares. Thanks for sharing about your mom. You are a good daughter indeed. Don
-
BEAUTIFUL! It touched my soul. There is no doubt here the great love you two had, and that is so very special. God IS with you, Shannon. Don

Carleen, Keith going to Summerfest is no small thing. That is terrific! I am so glad he went. He needs that "normal" time. His symptoms with chemo also are very normal, unfortunately. You are a great caregiver -- keep hanging in there with him. I can see a large love between you two, and that will carry you on. You are super to let him do these things with his friends. Blessings. Don

Jay, I like this newest picture of you better than the last because of that great smile. Be patient with your dad -- he is hurting, too. Yes, it should bring you closer but he may need time right now to himself. I pray that he will soon be able to support you like you need. I'm glad your treatment is under way. Please keep us informed of how you are doing and ask any questions of us. Blessings. Don

Sharon, my prayers are with you also. Don

My prayers are with you all, Deb. Don

Hang in there, Connie! It's a difficult time, I know. Don

Your husband is scared of dying, so he lashes out at everyone, is my guess. You can't stay with him constantly or you will be in the hospital yourself as a patient. You have a toughie situation, no doubt about it. Can you get help from family or friends? He probably needs counseling from someone he trusts, besides yourself. My prayers are with you. Don

Ha! Ha! Ha! Great!

Cindy, alriiiiiiiiiiight! Don

Laura, my prayers are with you and your mom. My wife had to have a port put in for the chemo because of hard-to-stick veins. I don't know anything about not doing the contrast. Don
-
Christina, so glad your husband is home. I do think that is best. It can be harder on the caregiver, however, so be sure and take care of yourself as well. I speak from experience. Don

Yes, fatigue is one of the main side effects of radiation. My wife had just gone through another series of radiation and she is extremely tired. It does pass. Don
-
Ada, glad the surgery is over and your are recovering well. I wish you all the best. You are one tough cookie! Don

Dave, anyone on this board who has had chemo can tell you that dehydration is something you have to constantly watch. Also, the tiredness, etc. unfortunately come with the package. Chemo is the beating you take to beat the cancer. Hope things go well in the future, but again, it usually gets worse with each dose (I know, I could have gone all day and not said that). Blessings. Don
-
Susan, great news about your mom! May the good news continue on and on. Don
-
Radiation continues to work and have side effects after the radiation is over. The symptoms you describe could be due to the radiation. It should pass. However, with your dad going into chemo, the same symptoms may persist. Don

Hopeful, are you taking anything for the thrush in your mouth? Lucie took two different kind of cocktail meds for it and it helped. I had to find things for her to eat and drink that were not as bad as others. Good luck. Don
