My prayers and condolences to the family. Chris

My sincere sympathy on your loss.. Chris

Hey Shirley I am sorry to hear the fever is still an issue. Hopefully it is nothing at all related to the cancer. YIKES, that gammaknife appt is way early, but hopefully it will go quick and smoothly and do what it needs to. Steve is right, stay positive, it does help. I know it is not easy, trust me, but it is worth the effort. Sending hugs and prayers and my own dose of positive thoughts to ya, Love, Chris

Thank you Donna.. Chris

Hello Amy and welcome. I am so sorry about this situation. I can relate to some extent with your mother in law not wanting to talk about her health etc. Mine was the same way and it is so hard and frustrating to deal with. Unfortunately I do not have much in the way of advice, other than to just be there for your husband and be as supportive of your mother in law as you can.It is not easy. Hopefully your husband will be able to convince her to open up some and allow the doctors to at least do the biopsy. Please keep us all posted and know that we are here, anytime you need to vent or talk or have questions. This is the greatest bunch of people and they are all so knowledgeable and willing to help in any way they can. You and your family are in my prayers, Chris

Now that hospice is on board I hope you can take some time for yourself and be able to get some rest. You have and continue to be such a wonderful daughter.. Never lose sight of that fact.. Sending prayers and love and positive thoughts... Chris

Hi Grace, I am very glad to hear you are doing better. I, as well as everyone else on here can understand completely what you are going through. It is normal, it sucks but it is normal. Brad did not have Tarceva to my knowledge but I had been reading about that as well as a zillion other options out there and recall reading something about tingling. I have to see if I saved that particular thing or not. I think as you say, the combination of all those horrible drugs in the system fighting an even more horrible disease wreak havoc on a person. And not everyone has the same reaction so.. God we need a cure yesterday!!!!! As for the treatment regime Brad did have, I am not really sure what the drugs were. I do know he was on massive doses daily for a while. Other than the nausea which was never completely aleviated with the anti~pukes as he called them, he was just completely fatigued 24/7 but continued to work most days. I did notice the chemo~brain syndrome from time to time as he would be forgetful which was never an issue with him before the cancer. We found humour in that, though, which was, along with nothing but a positive attitude was what he needed and all he ever asked for. Anyway, just very glad to know you are doing better. I have you and your family in my prayers every day... Hugs and loads of positive thoughts my dear! Love Chris

Shirley and Grace, Just letting you know I have you all in my prayers for great results as well as strength and peace of mind. Grace I hope things are a bit better for you now. Shirley I hope your dad is doing better with the tingling. I seem to recall someone else commenting about Tarceva causing tingling, but I may be mistaken. I read so many posts as well as all the articles etc that I could well have the Tarceva mixed up with something else..... Anyway, I needed to let you both know I am thinking of you... Love and prayers, Chris
