Ken~
read my last note on my profile, if you have time. One Dr scared the jee-beebers out of us, and low and behold the Dr the next day sent me back to work. Bottom line, waiting sux, xanax does not suc.

Pain , there in itself can reak havoc on your body, that is working so hard. Pain Mgmt. w/ injections, which block nerve paths , so they can calm down do work. You are generally givien IV sedation pre treatment, which makes the treatment tolerable.
Keep us posted, Mary

I had to chuckle, thanks for the article, one of the points advises to:
Avoid second hand smoke and excersise.
That means, if my neighbor excersises it wont help me? I'm kidding, I get it~ just had to share a short giggle. Mary

It does sound like a difficult puzzle with your Mom missing the comfort piece. Enc. her to keep her nutritional levels high ( I realize thats hard w/ her nausea) as a fine tuned nutritional system teamed up w/ a decent immune system are fine tools , if the day comes she finds heself fighting cancer. Praying for an answer, to treat her symptoms. please keep us posted. Mary

You will often see us all share the same sentiment, waiting sux, thats a fact. You can keep in mind they are being overly cautious, for that be greatful. This was found by "accident" per say another thing to be greatful for. You found us and we will share all the knowledge we have to help you through this finding, stay in touch, all questions, fire away! Mary

Funny, I should find your posting at the tail end of my 'mini-meltdown". My scans came back improving last Thurs. The Dr. "Ok'ed" me back to work 3 days/week for Monday. He said go back to what you were doing. Work went great, the girls were great. Tuesday, I lost it . very bad day, called in sick Wens! I never do that.
I need that day to begin "re-trending" as I call it. You cant go back, so you just move foward, day by day. It was either that or let the funk take over. PS I will be at work Fri, and the tears helped alot. Keep us posted. Waiting to hear the your funk has lifted. Mary

Your mom will do well, bring a book for yourself! You will get answers, and some were not sures. That is normal. Lets us know, sending prayers. Mary

waiting sux, no doubt about it, xanax helps, no doubt about it. I'm hoping for scary lungs. I clear my throat also, kind of like excussssssse me! My Doc, says it is post nasel drip w/ clearing. Dont beat yourself up on the smoking thing, many of us been there done that, got the tee shirt, and were suvivors keep your posts comming, we want to know how it goes on the 29th. Mary

MC~ pretty much wrapped up my experience to the tee. Fatigue is the one thing I would add, I'd be fine, wake from a nap, someone would say , Oh , so and so is here , your awake......and i would freak out. Turns out, that is fatigue and it is real, and it does go away. Keep us posted. Mary

It seems when cancer hits, disposable income is one of the 1st things that goes. A little side job will be good for your son, he needs to feel he is helping, thats natural, thats love. I hope some of the suggestions above get you some relif. keep us posted. Mary

I love Long Island, I spent a few years in Ft. Lauderdale and Chicago, then came right back "home". I pride myself in being an excellent house guest, when ever I get the itch to get away from here or the weather! Mary

Next time feel free to correct the ignorant people that must think they are bionic. Remind them, Cancer is Not Killing You, It's forcing You To Live!! And you have a great time in Dallas! Mary

You have strength in the fact you came back to let us know your OK. I agree tears are medicinal,the uncontrolable ones can get sticky in traffic. Your truth brings it all home for a lot of us. cancer sux.

I cant say "I know how you feel". I know for sure when I was diagnosed, I would see women out w/ their grandchildren ( I dont have any yet), I would get very tearful, and greif stricken~ OK basically at things like that I would freak out. That has calmed down a bit. Cry when you need to its medicinal. keep 5 of the favorite things about your Mom on the tip of your memory at all times. Know I am praying you that you get some peace and understanding soon. Mary
