  1. My Bob went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on our daughter's 24th birthday...February 9. He died with his daughters Sarah and Lindsey holding his hands and with me ( Diane ) whispering in his ear....He will be missed.

    Pat..Please accept my sincere sympathy as you grieve your loss..I am so sad for you. Diane
  3. I was reading an article on a test study at mayo clinic using cryoblation to treat bone mets....it sounded like freezing vrs. radio-frequency ablation which uses heat...has anyone out there had this treatment for bone mets? The article said that the treatment has less side effects than radiation and a better reponse. Just wondering. We're going to ask Bob's oncologist at our next appointment but wanted to gather as much info as possible since Bob's bone scan is almost completely lit up and he is having alot of neck pain. Thanks, Diane
  4. Pat and Brian...you are in my prayers also...Open the floodgates of heaven.....let it rain. Diane Fox
  5. Bag Balm in a green jar....originally for cows but it works great for chapped butts. And only eat the BRAT diet until diarrea subsides...Bananas, Rice. applesauce and Tea. Diane
  6. The website is www.lindiskin.com and the products are specifically for cancer patients undergoing chemo and radiation. He uses the soothing balm and the lotion...the soothing balm is more concentrated but doesn't last as long. Hope that helps. Diane
  7. Jaime...I was just cruising the website and saw this post. Bob started Tarceva only 2 weeks ago, and does not have a rash but has VERY dry skin. I ordered a Soothing Balm by Lindi that is made for cancer patients and it is helping. I read about it in a magazine and ordered it online. Diane
  8. Email sent...thank you for the link. Diane Fox
  9. Bob has been taking juice plus since this summer....we started after a recommendation from a friend battling breast cancer and liked what we read. I heard that there is a study being conducted at MD Anderson for pancreatic cancer patients taking juice plus...I agree "Can't hurt" Diane
  10. Bob has been taking Protonix since April....his acid reflux was attributed to the spine radiation....and then the chemo...it was intense in April, but has quieted down alot since then, however he is still taking the portonix. Hope you get relief soon. Diane
  11. Pat...What a day! Know I am praying for you and Brian...that the POWER of His Spirit will be released in BOTH of your lives. Hang in there...Diane
  12. Holly...so sorry to hear about your Mom's daignosis. My husband Bob was diagnosed in March with bone mets...he had his rib,spine and hip radiated in april as that is where the pain was...he then started chemo in may. He just finished his first round of chemo and now his left hip is bothering him so they start radiating it tommorrow. So our experience is they radiate the bones for pain control....hope that his experience gives you more info on what others are doing. He did his first radiation in Houston at MD Anderson and returned home for chemo...his oncologist here agreed with what was done down there so I'm assuming that is pretty standard. There are others on this board with bone mets so hopefully they'll chime in but if you read there bio's you can get an idea....Diane
  13. Betty..Welcome to this board and congratulations on your good news. There are alot of nice people here and lots of support. Diane
  14. Fay....my uncle called me Grace when I was little and I thought it was a name of endearment until I was older and realized he was making fun of my klutziness....so I'm right there with you. Take care and enjoy the season Diane
