    Roll Call

    in HOPE

    Posted

    Lily,

    I haven't posted for a long time, but want to let you know my husband is doing great! He was diagnosed in October 2005. Not sure if anyone remembers me but Tom had cancer, a stroke, and a truck run over his legs all within six months time (my mother always said everything happens in 3s). No chemo or radiation since early 2006. Has met with his oncologist and pulmonary doctor every six months and we are very blessed that NED is hanging around.

    Christmas in Heaven

    in GRIEF

    Thinking of those who are missing a loved this Christmas season.

    Christmas in Heaven

    We’ve shared our hearts, full of Holiday Cheer

    And shopped for presents for loved ones this year

    The house is dressed up with garland and lights

    But even with all of this Holiday bliss

    There’s someone we lost that we terribly miss

    And as this Christmas Day draws near

    We wish with all of our hearts she was here

    She’s living her life way up past the starts

    Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and Mars

    She’s spending her Christmas in Heaven, you see

    And last night as I slept, a dream came to me,

    She was standing before me, happy and well

    She said to me “I have something to tell…

    Heaven’s more wondrous than you would believe

    It’s the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.

    I’d like for you all to remember the good…

    You know that I’d be there if only I could.

    So don’t feel so bad that I’m not there

    There are so many memories you can share

    As you gather together, I’m sure you’ll find

    The gifts deep within you that I left behind.

    Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love

    They shine from your hearts as I shine from above.

    Prayers that your colleague has safe travel and is able to find peace and strength to say her goodbyes. Including her sister in my prayers that her final journal will be peaceful.

    Question about Carboplatin

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Nova,

    This was the combination my husband had. He had chemo (once per week) and radation (daily) at the same time. After radiation was completed, he had chemo twice a week when his blood counts were good.

    My husband was always give an anti-naseau medicine in the IV prior to the chemo. He did not get sick. However, he did have to have shots to raise his blood counts, had a blood transfusion, and problems with hydration (a couple of visits to the hospital on week-ends to replenish). He was very tired and did not work during his treatments/radiation (partly because his commute to work is 57 miles one way). All in all, we had a pretty normal life during his treatments. Hoping your husband has the same successful results as mine.

    Sending up Prayers.

    Mary
