Happy Birthday!
-
Congratulations on the new baby.
-
Very nice! I hope you had a great visit.
-
Have a wonderful time.

I am so glad to read this. Iressa worked wonders for John and I regretted switching to Tarceva. I always wondered if we should have stayed on the Iressa until it stopped working instead of switching due to one study (which appears to be flawed).

Enjoy the company Muriel.

I am very happy for you! See you at the pub.

Taller -- just a few inches taller.

It's hard to believe it's a year for you already. I hope the day went as well as could be expected. My thoughts are with you.

I am always playing match maker-- I have had one couple I introduced get married.

There is a very rare side effect to Tarceva that can damage the eyes (the name of the condition escapes me right now)-- but he really needs to be seen by an eye specialist to make sure he doesn't have that because the damage can be permanent.

It's not overreacting-- a bowel impaction can be fatal very quickly. If the stool is impacted she's gong to need to go to the ER. The best thing to work quickly is a "mom bomb" which is milk of magnesia and warm prune juice. If the enemas are not working she should go get some help removing the stool. Once this is over make sure she starts using some natural means to keep her bowels moving like prune juice, apple juice, bran, and lots of fluids.
Let us know how she does.
Welcome to the board.

I decided this article was best for this forum as it is about surviving and helping your body heal itself. I found it very interesting and just sent it off to a friend in treatment.

Sue-
I am glad your mom is on her way to regaining her health. She is one tough cookie to go through everything she has been through at her age. Sending you good thoughts and wishes.

I am glad you are doing the research for her. There are several people here that have had cyber knife, one being Don M. You can search his posts or search cyber knife for more information from the board. She really needs a second opinion. She is young and she can survive this disease if she gets the right treatment.
Keep us posted on how she does.

He's taking a hard combination of chemo and sleep may be the way his body is healing and dealing with that. He has to eat or get nourishment though -- 30 lbs. is a huge weight loss. Try to find out what he can tolerate or even if he will just drink some high calorie things it will help. I know for awhile John was eating a lot of those real fruit Popsicles and soups, that was about all he could handle. I hope you have talked to his doctor or the chemo nurse about all this, they may be able to help or adjust his dosage.
Keep us posted on how he does.

Are you looking at the white athletic socks that come in a package? If you can use white many are styled so they can be folded down to make a cuff. I'm not sure what brand it is that makes a ribbed top that folds down like the old bobby socks.

No-- not unless I'm really pushed then stand back. I usually bite my tongue depending on the person and the situation.

That was great-- thanks for posting it.

I do a lot of shopping on Amazon-- the prices are great and if you order over $25.00 the shipping is free. One year I ordered the kids entire Christmas from there-- from the Barbie dream house to x-box games, it was so nice to have it all brought to the door and all I had to do was wrap. I also buy a lot of stuff from LL Bean. I also send Cheryl's Cookies to friends out of town.

John would get photosensitive and burn very quickly. It didn't have to be a lot of sun just a few minutes and he was red. Take a good sunblock and remember it needs to be put on about 15 minutes before you go out.
Have a good trip and don't forget to get a hall pass.

Got to have the pumpkin pie. Even if I wanted to change the kids wouldn't let me.
