Cheryl,
So glad to hear you are home safe and sound. Pull up a chair in front of a window with a view of your paddock and watch those beautiful animals of yours. I find horses are very therapeutic, but I'm sure you know that too. Glad to hear you have a plan of action. I'll be saying prayers for you.

Pain clinics can do wonderful things. Let's hope that control comes with his first appointment. I'll be praying hard.

Hi Nandie,
My mom also had chemo and radiation together. During her last five treatments and after, she had lots of pain. Her Onc, gave her a presc for liquid morphine, but she had a real tough time swallowing it. He switched her to fentanyl patches which worked wonders. She swallowed a mixture called pink lady just before eating. Drinking aloe vera juice also seemed to help the healing. She didn't really feel better and eat well until about a month after her last treatment.
Hope that helps,

Hi there. An oxygen level of 85 % is quite low. Did your Doctor increase your mom's oxygen after this and repeat the level. In the hospital, we increase the oxygen until the saturation level is above 90%. How often are her levels checked?

Nancy,
Naproxen is an anti-imflammitory drug, as is Celebrex (and Vioxx), but works in a different manner, so would not have the same effects.

Take a Deep Breath? Is it healthy?
in GENERAL

Hi Elaine,
Interesting article. A few big breaths every once in a while will not disturb the acid-base balance of the body, but hyperventilation will (continuous big breaths). After surgery (abdominal or thoracic) we encourage our patients to take big breaths every once in a while to open up the lungs (some of the alveoli in the lungs collapse, and big breaths open them up). Some of you may have had to use an incentive spirometer post surgery to monitor how big you breaths were, and to try and increase them to pre-op levels. It seems everything in moderation is good, too much of anything is a bad thing!
