Well today we had a 6 wk check up for my grandpa since we have finished his chemo & radation.... we have made it over one hurdle...we gained 4lbs!!! He has an appitie back & he is moveing around more. We will go on Oct 10 for another cat scan & get the results on the 12th. I know what everyone means about when you are done with treatment or there is a break how you do feel they are normal. I have to say being a care taker is so hard & this website has helped me to get through this time. I will keep everyone updated & we will need a lot prayers for the test results. Thanks BRandy

We have been going throught the same thing. We have the tussion pearls & cough meds. I bought a reading pillow to sit him up at night & won't allow him to sleep much during the day. We have hydrocodon also.... I have been giving benadryl for allergies. Some nights it works others it doesn't. You can try to put bricks under his side of the bed to raise it. I know it is so hard because you both are so tired. Hang in there. We did the steroids & it got better for 2 weeks & the cough came back.

I can relate to you. I to am a grandad's girl. My grandpa raised me since I was 4 & now I am taking care of him. He has stage 3. It is ok to cry & you will do it. I can tell you the exact date & time we were told that he had the cancer. This has been the hardest thing in the world to watch & do, but you will be an inspiration to him. Stay Strong & make many memories with him. I will be praying for ya'll. Brandy

I am so sorry for you loss & I personally know how hard it is to be pregant & have to go through all of that. My grandma passed away when I was 6 months pregant & she was my mom...she had raised me since I was 4yr old. She died of leukiema & she went pretty fast. You will do fine & you miss her more than anything...time does help the pain but just remember she is with you & she will always be by your side.

Can anyone explain what radiation pneumonia is & the signs of it? THanks Brandy
-
Well the reason they took so long for treatment was the VA didn't want to do treatment to him because of his age & trach status. We had to get approval to go outside of ghe VA. The radiation was used shrink the mass inside his lung. All I know is that is was 3mm & in the left side. I will let all of ya'll know about the results. Thanks for all the encourage & support, ya'll are great. Brandy

I am a newby that is taking care of my grandfather. He is 78 yrs old, a laryngille cancer survior of 36 yrs & now he has stage IIIB LC. This has been the hardest task for me to do. I have a wonderful husband & 2yr old that is on this adventure also. I can't wait to start using this site because it seems like a wonderful place to vent & get help. Thanks Brandy
