I've had a PET every 3 months since diagnosis. My cheap as all heck insurance company has never denied payment. Could it be that her insurance company made a mistake? Have they paid for PET scans before? I'd have the scan done and keep fighting the insurance company. Good luck. Trish

Terrific news, Fred! I'm doing a little happy dance in your honor. Trish

I'm glad your mom is feeling well and I'll add my prayers for good scan results in July. Take care. Trish

I am so sorry for your loss. Trish

I've got my fingers crossed for good results! Trish

I'm sorry Easter was made so stressful for you, Lilly. While you're going through treatment, you've got to give yourself permission to do what's best for you. If that means stepping on some toes, so be it. People will get over it. Be good to yourself, okay? Trish

What terrific news, Kim. I'm so happy for the two of you. Thanks for sharing. Trish

Happy Anniversary Gail, and enjoy the massage! Trish -
Hi Kelly, I used to swig viscous Lidocaine during radiation treatment. It numbed by throat and esophagus just enough to get a couple of bites of food down. Liquid aloe vera gel also helped. Basically, though, I lived on iced green tea, milkshakes, and creamed soups. It does get better though -- today I can eat anything. Funny, though, I cannot drink carbonated beverages. Just as well, I guess. Hope mom's treatment goes well. Trish

Good for you! I quit on the day I was diagnosed, and I don't miss it at all now. I found that constantly drinking water helped me. Buckets and buckets of water. And Skittles. Good luck and it does get easier and easier. Trish

My Mother Lung Cancer NSCLC Stage 1B reoccurence to Stage 3
trish2418 replied to Franca's topic in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER
So sorry to learn of your mom's recurrence. Keeping my fingers crossed that the carbo/taxol will do the trick for her (I started with that combo and it worked well for me). Please keep us posted and know that I'm saying prayers for your Mom. Trish -
I haven't used my port for chemo in over a year (I do have it flushed every 8 weeks). I'm superstitious about having it removed -- you know, if you have an umbrella with you it will not rain kind of logic or illogic. Are you thinking of having your's removed? Trish
