KIMS FRIEND

AFTER READING KIMS POSTS I AM SO GLAD MIKE HAS A FEW MORE OPTIONS TO TRY TO RID THE METALLIC TASTE. I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK HE WAS STUCK WITH IT. I SO HOPE ONE OF THOSE WILL WORK. AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. SUSIE

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE I AM LEARNING ALOT FROM THIS SITE. IT'S OVERWHELMING THE INFO ON HERE ITS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO SORT THROUGH ALL THIS. ONE THING THAT IS REALLY BOTHERING ME MIGHT SOUND FUNNY BUT MIKES COMPLAINING OF EVERYTHING TASTING LIKE METAL AFTER CHEMO AND HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT FOR DAYS AFTER IS REALLY GETTING TO ME IS THERE NOTHING THAT CAN HELP THIS PROBLEM? I COULD NOT EVEN IMAGE. C-YA SUSIE (KIMS FRIEND)

YEP KIM IS NOW POSTED SO THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE GREAT INFO

I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CHEMO BUT I WILL FIND OUT. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED OUR AGES 33. I AM FINDING COMFORT AND HOPE IN THIS SITE AFTER READING AND READING. I AM GLAD I FINALLY GOT ON HERE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT OTHERS IN THIS SITUATION. THANKS

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. OUR FAMILIES ARE BEST FRIENDS. KIMS HUSBAND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER. HE HAD SURGERY IN FEB 05 TO REMOVE A TUMOR AND THEY FOUND IT HAD SPREAD TO HIS CHEST WALL. NOT FOUND IN LYMPH NODES OR ANYWHERE ELSE. HE WAS GIVEN 6MONTHS TO 1YEAR. WE WERE HORRIFIED BY THIS NEWS WHICH WAS DELIVERED TO US RATHER RUDELY. WE WERE ALL IN THE WAITING ROOM WITH KIM AND MIKES 10 YEAR OLD SON AND 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THEY JUST CAME OUT AND TOLD ALL OF US THERE WAS NO HOPE. TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INFO ON US KIM AND MIKE HAVE TWO KIDS MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TWO ALSO A 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND A 9 MONTH OLD SON. OUR FAMILIES DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER. MY HUSBAND AND I WENT THROUGH SCHOOL WITH MIKE. KIM AND I WALK TOGETHER EVERY MORNING. OUR HUSBANDS HUNT TOGETHER. WE GO TO THE SAME CHURCH. WE SEE EACH OTHER DAILY THEY ARE MORE LIKE OUR FAMILY. MIKE HAS HAD 4CHEMO TREATMENTS AND IS HAVING A SCAN NEXT WEEK. I AM JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS SO FORGIVE ME IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS AND WHAT THEY MEAN. I AM JUST LOST ON HOW TO HELP MY FRIEND, MY HUSBAND, MY KIDS, MYSELF AND THEIR KIDS IN DEALING WITH ALL OF THIS. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT! THANKS
