  1. Ya never know, I have had a ton of different Chemos and have had very little problems with any of them, Usually I have a couple of days when I don't feel real good, but that passes quickly...so think positive. jim

  10. Words an not express how I feel. My thoughts are with you.....I am so sorry. Love Jim
  11. I lost my taste several times but never for an extended period of time. I kept eating and finding foods that had a hint of taste, such as Wendy's Chili with their hot sauce, vanilla shakes, chicken fingers with hot honey mustard. All I can suggest is to try different foods and textures, don't just stay with the old home cooked meals, which don't appear to be working...Make a game out of it, go out and try different snacks/entres...he must eat. Jim
  12. I can say, there have been few times that my faith has been tested, and this is one of them. Love and prayers to my dear friend, Lib.
  13. Ok, its gotta be out there somewhere: "CHEMOSTUDS" I'll find it!!! jim
  14. I have not missed a day of work due to Chemo/radiation in 2 1/2 years. That is not a brag, I needed to work.....it gave my mind a chance to concentrate on things other than cancer. If she wants to work (truely) then I say go for it, it really helps occupy your mind and takes it off your problems.....But working is not for everyone jim
  15. Quote "Sorry this is so ridiculously long. I'm too confused to edit properly!" DO NOT ever feel compelled to cut it short, share and tell us as much as you want or need. Merry Xmas jim
  16. I absolutely detest shopping...the driving....the crowds.....this store doesn't have it....will the other one??? MY wife gives me a big list of what she would like, that list contains: The Item Name What store has it What aisle it is on What shelve it is on The Color The cost Once I have all this data I go and finsish in one morning. Not entirely true but darn close!!! jim
  17. Tony and Vinnie????? Let me know jim
  18. I've had one at 5cm that we beat into submission with chemo another at 6cm that we just finished hitting with radiation. I have two now at 1.5cm that we are treating with chemo.....anything is possible. jim'
  19. Keep positive thoughts and enjoy your family time together. I feel nothing but good news ahead. Merry Xmas jim
  20. That can be seen from you beautiful photo. My mind still says I'm 18, but my body yells "LIAR". jim
  21. CT's are about all we have at this time. If it eases your mind go for it....all of my scans have with no contrast. Even with the needle it is no worse than drawing blood. jim
  22. My advice...slow down and don't lose what you have gained. Your body needs time...don't try to be a hero. It'll come, just buld up to it gradually. jim
  23. Some days I get up and feel like I've been beaten with a 2X4.....everything hurts and nothing works. I do not feel it is related to chemo, just old age. jim
