    Tammy,

    The scans sound encouraging in the fact not only stable, but some shrinkage. This is

    good news. Prayers that your Dad's quality of life improves over time.

    I am so very sorry to read this post. Many prayers are coming your way. I can not offer

    any information about the chemo drugs, I just hope you get relief from your pain.

    To always be true to myself. Do not let others persuade my decisions. Follow my heart

    and in the end all things will trun out ok. :P My Mom is one smart cookie :wink: I ,may

    have not always made the right decisions, but I could live with the fact, that right or wrong,

    good or bad, my decisions have been my own.

    Is this a bad sign?

    Don't know if this will help or not, but only when it was BAD news do our Drs call. So Alan

    and I have the thought process that no news is good news. When Alan's cancer went

    to his brain, all of his Drs called us, every MRI since has been clear and never a call.

    My prayers to you and your family, and please keep us updated.

    Hi Nancy,

    I understand your disappointment. Alan had the same results with his last round of chemo with his latest recurrance.

    We keep reminding ourselves that stable is GOOD news. Glad to hear you have options.

    Hi Deb,

    appetite is one of the biggest battles I have with my husband. Sometimes it is like getting

    a child to eat :roll: Alan has lost close to 100 pounds since his DX 3 years ago. Alan has

    lost 40 pounds since his latest recurrance in Dec. If he doesn't eat, we make sure he

    gets as much fluid as possible. We have learned that keeping dehydration at bay is most

    important.

    Trying leaving easy to eat foods, meaning something that can be eaten with fingers,

    within close reach of your husband. He just might eat without even realizing he is doing

    so. Also foods that do not take much effort to eat, such as scrambled eggs, pudding ect

    are also good. The simple act of cutting food and chewing just is too much effort for

    those already exhausted from treatment.

    I hope things start to turn around for the both of you.

    I must be anti american or something, I have never watched a single

    episode of American Idol :oops: Maybe its because

    more people would rather vote for an up and coming

    singer then the next President. (sorry had to throw

    that in.) No wonder gas is over $4.00 a gallon.

    Well I am pretty much an open book. I honestly can not

    say I have any real secrets. Like others, I do keep

    my political beliefs to myself (if I am just meeting someone),

    those close to me know exactly where I stand. Just

    walk by my desk at work, its suttle, but no question

    which party I support. :wink:
