Hi Everyone, I just wanted to update everybody. Van seems to be getting some strenght back. He has gained a total of 8 pounds. He's 6'3 and weighed in at 130pounds. In about 3 weeks, he will have another round of chemo. The doctors seem very optimistic. New guys, I hope you take advantage of this site. Everyone has been super helpful. we are trying to get on a regular schedule. It won't be long before the weather co-operates and we can go outside and get some exersise. Thanks Aliboo

Sorry he is having such a hard time. I am A caregiver. My boyfriend was just diagnosed in May. I just lost my hearing a year and a half ago. I know no one can understand what he is going through. He probably has all kinds of weird stuff running through his head. I have severe anxiety attacks. An "episode" will last 12 to 24 hours. They feel like they roll in and out all day. There are losts of different ways to overcome them. Everybody is different. Before I lost my hearing, I used music with self hypnosis. Some people use breathing exersises and/or Yoga. There are lot's of different relaxation techniques out there. You just have to find the right one for him. I hope he feels better soon so he can concentrate on getting well instead of worring about having a panic attack. I feel for anyone who has to go through them. Good Luck , Aliboo-boo
