  1. Hi Truematch

    Yes, many people experience the sore throat after radiation. Ask her doctor about "magic mouthwash", a mixture of lidocaine, benadryl and maalox that will coat and soothe her throat and make her more comfortable.

    Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers..

  4. Just a reminder that I am going to be away most of this week but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.. I would really love for more of you to submit your stories. I am really trying to make this project a success but I do need your help and your input!

    I have 8 replies here, most of which are my own, and over 130 views... PLEASE.... I AM REALLY HOPING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ALL OF YOU WITH LUNG CANCER AND ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE A LOVED ONE FIGHTING OR HAVE LOST SOMEONE TO THIS DISEASE. This is not for me, or about me, it is for and about ALL OF YOU.

    Wishing you all a wonderful week...

  6. Thank you ALL so much for the great response to this.. I am hoping to hear from more of you!!

    I think it would be great if you could include WHY Lung Cancer Awareness Month is so important to YOU. I am devoting a lot of time and effort to this campaign and am so grateful for all of your replies and stories. I can include pictures as well so if you'd like a picture included please let me know.

    You can send me your stories thru a PM or I can give you my email address.

    Again, thank you so much and I really hope to hear from more of you!!!!!! Please help me put a face on this disease and raise awareness.

    Hugs

  7. Hi~

    As many of you know I have a web site that is dedicated to helping people touched by cancer. You all know my stories about Brad and then my step dad and their battles with LC and why I advocate for all types of cancer.

    But November is different for me. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and I want to do something special to raise awareness. Using my web site as a platform I would love to share some of your stories! I am hoping to have a big banner on the main page and each week a different organization that deals with lung cancer will be profiled in the spot light. But I would like very much to include some personal stories on the front page to give this whole thing a human touch and feel.

    Whether you are a patient, a caregiver or have lost someone to this disease, if you are willing to share your story please let me know. I will only include first names, no other personal details, and will publish ONLY what you want me to. Drop me a PM or reply here...

    I really hope you wonderful people will help me out with this!!

    Many thanks, huge hugs and my love and appreciation in advance,

    Christine

  8. You are doing fine with your posts, don't even worry about that. There is no true protocol for replies. Once you get more comfortable please have a look around the other forums and feel free to post to those as well. You will get more detailed replies to specific questions by posting in the various forums.

    AWESOME... I ride but don't have a Harley. (YET!!) There is nothing like seeing the countryside from the back of a bike. Definitely takes your mind off your troubles for a while!!

    Feel free to drop me a PM any time if I can be of help.

    Hugs

    Chris

  9. ((((Linda))))

    So sorry for this latest set back. Please know you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    I can say, Jerry's blood sugar got quite high when he was on the steroids as well. He was on a pill for the sugar rather than an injection. I don't know if the pill form would be strong enough for your hubby given his high numbers or not. The med we had for him was glipizide which I believe is the generic equivalent of Glucotrol.

    I don't know if that is helpful or not but I felt it was worth passing on...

    Many hugs and prayers

    Christine

  10. Hello Lady and welcome!

    I am sorry you had need to find a site like this but I am so glad you have joined us. THIS is the best site for support and information, advice and HOPE.

    I am guessing by your screen name you are into bikes? I hope you will share more about that with me/us in the coming days.

    Please keep posting and let us know what you need and how we can help you and know that there is always someone here on LCSC that will be more than willing to help.

    Hugs and Prayers

    Christine

  11. Sandra,

    I am so sorry you are having such a rough time right now. It is understandable that you are down.

    I am thinking of you and sending many prayers and positive thoughts your way. I hope you will be able to find that positive energy you need to help you through this.

    Chris

  12. Thank you so much Caren!!

    I am actually in touch with a friend who owns a small grocery in the UK and he had never heard of Boost or Ensure so I have a feeling you may be right about it being by prescription only.

    Thank you for the information on Complan.. I will see if my friend knows about that as well.

    Chris

  13. Lillian

    Of course I am sending many, many prayers for your friend and MANY FOR YOU. TOO!!

    As sad and sickening as this story is, it happens and probably more often than anyone knows.

    Lillian, thank you for posting this as it MAY help save someone else from going through the same type of situation.

    Many hugs

    Chris
