[Hello From a Newbie :)]

Thanks for the info. Welthy, I will definately ask about the B6 vitamins because She has been very tired, however i had been attributing that to the pain meds (she takes oxy CR 10mg every 12 hrs and regular oxy every 4 hours when needed).

I spoke to her doctor today while she was in chemo (round 2) and the dr tells me its going to be 6 rounds total (mom somehow thought it was only 2) and dr has decided to stop avastin as they are worried about bleeding with the all the radiation (shes got 24 sessions left).so today she just had taxol/carbo. I'm not clear on why they changed their mind on the avastin as she was having no symptoms of bleeding, but dr says maybe they will incorporate it again in future treatments.

For everything she's going through she's doing so well. Her only complaint is her scalp which she says hurts and itches where her hair has fallen out. Dr says not much can be done for that.

She has also lost 14 lbs since her dx, which they want her to try to gain back as she was a small person to start with. I think that will be tough as she is a very fussy eater and she claims now food makes her nauseous even with the anti-nausea meds. I am trying to work on a menu of high calorie foods she will eat.

Sorry I ended up rambling a little... Thanks for the ears and the support.

Hi, I'm Danielle.

I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and wanted to officially introduce myself.

My mom was diagnosed with NSCLC, Stage IV on 11/8/06. Right now she is in the process of chemo (taxol/carbo/avastin) and radiation (30 treatments).

It has been a very scary process for my whole family and I'm still in the stage of trying to process it all. It still feels unreal.

I have been reading all of yuor stories and it has given me great knowledge and encouragement. I appreciate everyone here very much.

I am looking forward to making new friends and offering love and support to others when I can.

Thanks for listening
