    Please remember that this board is here for you anytime you wish to "let it out." You certainly have an awful lot on your plate - this is too much for one person to handle. As others have said, it would be very good to call in some help. Try thru the social work network where your parents go for medical assistance.

    Yes, you probably are not yourself- you've been handed a monumental responsibility. I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. Any outside help would at least partially ease your burden.

    Please let us know how you're doing.

    Our New Year's Eve - Joel's in the hospital/updated

    Marianne,

    I was so upset to hear about Joel's pain and fever and the whole thing. What a way to spend New Years Eve. But on the positive side, he's being taken care of and the pain is being knocked out so he can rest. Please try to take care of yourself as well. My very best wishes to you both for a Healthy and Happy 2007.

    Let us know how he's doing, ok?

    Looking back at 2006 has me very torn. This time last year I was in intensive care, watching the ball drop in Times Square on TV with the nurses. I had just awakened from a medically induced coma of about 16 days. I didn't know where I was or what was going on. But I did know it was new year 2006 and somehow I felt glad that I was still around! Well, I still feel glad to be around and it's 2007!!!! Good Golly, Miss Molly, that is WONDERFUL, no matter how you look at it!!!!!

    Now I have another year, with many challenges ahead of me. But I'm still here to face those challenges. Thank God. Some days are very hard, that's for sure, but, God is always by my side.

    God bless us all in 2007. Never Give Up. Keep Trying!

    Happy New Year Donna.

    Today is Dec. 31. Last Dec. 31 I was in a hospital bed just waking up from a 2 1/2 week coma and wondering what the Hell happened????I thank God for everyday since.

    I know you've had some hard days, but please remember that we are all still with you. I wish you a wonderful and peaceful 2007. All the best to all on the board, too.

    This is just wonderful news! SC responds dramatically to chemo, it really gets knocked out big time. I had 4 cycle routine and I think after the second round, they saw a big reduction. Remember, Bill, that was 4 1/2 YEARS AGO! So you keep on fightin' to join the NED club! So happy for this great news.

    I'm glad to hear you were able to be with your children and the time spent was enjoyable even though your hearts were heavy. You managed to get through and now you have 2007 to look forward to with hope and promise. ((()))

    HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS, PLEASE

    It looks like your doctor is being very thorough in checking you. I also had these tests (by the way that was 4 1/2 years ago!) and wondered about the radiation; I was told it wasn't dangerous. Many of us here have had this full battery of tests and got thru just fine. You will too. I didn't have a port so I can't speak to that, but if you are found to be "limited" status, ask if you will be receiving radiation and chemo at the same time. Some studies indicate that this is the optimum treatment for SC limited.

    As you go thru all these tests, please keep in mind there are many long term survivors here rooting for you.

    Gerri, Kasey and everyone - scan time can be so nerve racking! I'm not even sure when I'm supposed to have another scan because I had them in the hospital in October, rather than sticking to the June/December schedule. So I have to call the onc. office to find out when I should have another. Last week was a trip to the GP and the surgeon - I feel like all I do is go to the drugstore, go to dr. appointments and wait for my daily nurse visit. It all gets on your nerves, that's for sure.

    Hoping everyone has good scans - that would be the best Christmas present anyone can have.
