  1. Aaron, My mother took Lyrica for 5 months. She was acting so "loopy" that I called her oncologist. She was having a hard time recalling words, her balance was off, she had to use a cane and was VERY forgetful. The dr. took her off of it and had her go for a brain MRI. It was clear and with time the symptoms faded. Hope the results are as good for you. Wendy
  2. Always!! Someone told me that if you find a penny-doesn't matter if its heads up or down-that someone in heaven is letting you know they are watching over you. It always seems that when I'm at my lowest, I find a penny and it lets me know my brother is taking care of me from up above.
  3. Melinda, I've been thinking of you too. Wendy
  4. Ann Lots of ((((hugs)))) Wendy
  5. Grace So sorry for your loss. You and the girls are in my prayers. Wendy
  6. Hello all. Haven't posted much, but have read alot. My mother finished her chemo, radiation and wbr in September and was told she was cancer free. She went for her 3 month cat scan and it showed new nodules. Now she needs to go for a pet scan. My mother and I never saw eye to eye about anything. (I was never as good as my baby brother)I seem to be the only one willing help her.She lives very close to me and I'm at her house at least twice a day and call all the time. If I don't, I get told "I could be dead here and no one would know or care" I do care. I just can't be there all the time. I work 50 hours a week, have a husband and 4 kids. Now for the part I feel guilty about..why isn't what I do ever enough? Why can't we have a loving mother/daughter relationship? I've tried and nothing seems to work! Sorry to ramble, but can't talk to my family about this it would upset them too much. sparx
  7. Cook? What's that? Is that what the stove is for?!!I thought it was to warm your hands on cold winter mornings! Wendy
  8. Malou, I had the same symptoms too, along with extreme fatigue. Went to the doc's, she did blood work and it came back that I was peri-menopausal! I'm only 40! I thought it was from the stress of my mothers illness. So PLEASE go get it checked out! Wendy

    hello

    Thank you again! I know it's going toa long bumpy ride but i'm buckled in and ready for the road (where ever it takes us!)Mom already had first round of chemo, next one is in two weeks. The radiologist is tomorrow, still not sure if they are going to do it. I guess it depends on results of tests done today. Just wish mom's spirits would pick up. She insists she isn't going to make it untill Christmas. I, on the other hand, am willing to fight to keep her here longer.

    hello

    Thank you. Mom had bone scan and brain scan today. Now we get to wait. Fortunately, I live right across the street from her and I do go to every appt (so far) with her. And if she needs anything I can get there quickly.
  13. Hi, my name is Wendy. My mother was dxd with sclc on 4/13. She had symptoms for over a year but the doctor said it was asthma. The tumor is the size of a half dollar and is pressing on her pulmonary artery. Started VP16 on 4/19. Now more testing to see if it spread. Any suggestions?
