My husband has been a diabetic since the age of three. he takes potassium every day and this helps him avoid leg cramps as well as other muscle aches. If he does not take potassium his legs cramp up and he insulin reactions are more severe. Sure praying you will find a solution for the leg cramps. pammie

TAnn, thanks for sharing your experience. No telling how many people you have helped. Docs don't know everyhting so I am so thankful you have told your experiences and what might be going on. Gives us more things to ask the docs about and help us deal with it. So sorry you are experiencing the rash and pain. praying for relief soon. pammie

Continuing in prayer for you Beth. Pain wears people down mentally and physically The doc should be able to find something to help you. pammie

Rachel, will be praying for you to have less pain and nothing serious wrong in your hip. pammie

So thankful the pain is less. What a blessing! Praying the tarceva will get rid of the cancer. pammie

Amie, I haven't had surgery or anything but do have acid reflux fairly often as a long side effect of the chemo. Perhaps there is swelling from the surgery that will go away. I have no idea what is going on but you and your mom are in my prayers. pammie

Praying for you to be able to pinpoint and get rid of the source of pain. pammie

Mark, so very thankful you had good news on the shrinking of the cancer. What a blessing. Continuing in prayer for you. pammie

Pam, keep on fighting. do not give up. Work if you feel like it but do not give up. praying for you pammie

TAnn, I feel bad that you are having such a difficult time with the Alimta and not getting any comfort from the docs. Bless your heart. We will be praying extra amounts for you to have some relief from the pain and relief from feeling rotten. pammie

Statistics will not define us. that is one of the fight themes for our family. I have already beat the statistics by staying alive for a year from diagnosis for maliganant plueral effusion with mets to the pericardium. you are right, Lorrie, that your husband needs to stay positive and determined. Sounds like he has a great person (you) to help him out. We are all waiting and praying for a cure but we do not wait without action. Stay in there with the encouragement. praying for you both pammie

If you feel good enough to work, DO IT. Doc's are not perfect. Sounds like work is good medicine for you so seems as if he would support that. praying for you. pammie

Have been praying for you Doug and will continue to do so. Will add some thanksgiving to my prayer for your improvement and praying for 100% healing. pammie

Hello Shar. Glad you found this website. Will be praying for you. pammie

Glad you found this site Sandy. Information is extremely important in fighting a disease. Will be praying for you. pammie

A year ago on June 26, I found out I had a malignant plueral effusion in my left lung, IIIB. They found at that time that there had already been mets to the pericardium. By the grace and mercy of God working through whatever He has seen fit to use, I am celebrating another year of life. What a challenging year it has been and a year of growing for me and my family. We all realize that I have no promise of tomorrow, but do any of us? I am ready to meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I do hope that I am able to stay around for many more years so when my children have children I can enjoy those precious souls. One thing that we have learned this past year is to enjoy and treasure each second, each minute, each day, each week. We laugh at lots of stuff and don't worry about things anymore. God has created an intricate, complex physical body. I cannot even imagine what the spiritual world is going to be like since I already enjoy life. It will be great. I enjoy this web site and am thankful for all of you who post here. It is always good to share heartache and good news. I am a survivor so celebrate for me with a prayer of thanksgiving for the past year. pammie

Dear Minnie, I am very sorry to hear about your mom but am so very thankful she does not have to suffer any more. That is a blessing. Will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. pammie

Thankful you were able to travel. praying for you both pammie

Will be praying for your mom and the family. pammie

Perhaps this is your body's natural way of trying to get rid of dead cancer cells or purifying itself of chemical toxins. Protocell, a natural alternative, causes large amounts of fluid to be excreted from the body. continuing in prayer for you pammie

Hey Doug, God in His infinite wisdome has seen fit to bless you with a positive outlook and a humorous outlook. My husband has called me his little motor boat but so far has not decribed me as an exploding oil well. I take a product called immunasist which has by God's grace worked with the Iressa to get the tumor markers into the normal range. If I do happen to get worse I will start on the paw paw treatment. The chemo did nothing to shrink my cancer so I am not big on the chemical stuff they pump into me. God can use any situation and any circumstance for His glory. Will be praying for you and your family in this fight. Continue to tap into the immeasurable power of the Almighty God. pammie

praying for your dad and you. pammie

Keep on being bullheaded about the cancer Sue. Fighting it with a positive attitude is of great importance. Love the pic of the grandkids. praying for you pammie

I did not have any symptoms of cancer except fatigue until two weeks before the xray found the fluid in my lung. I was always tired and since I have MS thought that was the reason. Very common to have no symptoms until the cancer is fairly advanced. praying for you all pammie

Praying this treatment will cure you Beth. pammie
