    Cool, Calm and Collected--in rply to Shelliemacs

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Last night at church our Pastor preached on "Worry". He told us that worry is a wasted emotion as it does nothing but take up time. It doesn't help any situation you might be in. It doesn't make things any clearer it does NOTHING!

    The best thing is to take ALL your worries and give them to God. He CAN make them go away and he CAN make things better. I don't want to sound like I am preaching here but I truly have come to know that when worry starts to get to me I stop and take a second and say "This one is yours God" "Show me what to do"! Most times it works! TRUST in HIM is what is getting ME through all of this crap, maybe trust in him would help you too?

    God bless you,

    chemo starts april 1 (no joke) need advice

    I just started a Carbo/Taxol regime today so I will let you know what side effects I have, if any.

    I will have the Taxol once a week and the Carbo once very 3rd week. I had the carbo before and it really kicked my blood counts to the basement (ended up in hospital twice) so I am also starting Neupogen shots in the morning and I will have them every day.

    Good luck with your treatment and I am praying for you!

    God Bless,

    Well, this is where we are at.................. I have started Taxol (once a week) and Carboplatinum (once every 3rd week). I am also going to start a Neupogen shot every morning to try and keep my counts from dropping off the chart like they did the first time I had the carboplatinum. While getting the pre-med I noticed I was feeling a bit "woozy" :shock: so I told my nurse about it. She thinks it was from the Benadryl since I had never had that in an IV before. Sort of gave me a "stoned" :roll: feeling (from what I have had described to me as I was NEVER one to do that sort of thing in college). Lasted a couple of hours and then it was gone. Also broke down and ask my Dr. for a handicap plate form so I can get new tags for my car. I held off as long as I could :( !

    Anyway, thats where we are at, I am fighting, my Doctor is fighting and the rest is in God's hands!

    God Bless you all,

    They may not be able to operate but they may be able to treat it with chemo or radiation. There are several options still open to her I am sure. I hope she has an aggresive Doctor who is will to make those decisions. I will be poraying for her.

    I am headed out to see my Oncologist about what we are going to try this time to get this dang beast under control. The antibiotics have not really done anything as far as reducing the size of my lymph nodes so I am assuming it is from the cancer and not an infection (dang it). He mentioned on Tuesday when I called that we may look at a different form of chemo as he didn't think the topotecan was working very well (and it WAS letting my hair come in, dang it again). I will know tonight what we are doing and I will let you all know then. Thank you all for being there when needed. You are all such a blessing and I know that is why God has brought us all together.

    God Bless you all,

    I am so sorry to hear that the Iressa is not working for your Mom. I am praying they find another form of treatment to be able to continue on for her. God bless you and your family.

    Thank you all. I do feel a bit better (mentally) today than I have. I can feel the lymph nodes still and there is pressure in my liver so I know we have to do something major tomorrow with chemo. I am still determined to fight this beast!

    I had a wonderful visit with my baby brother and his new wife today. Sort of bitter sweet as we both assume this was the last time we will see each other. On one hand it was sad but on the other it was a blessing that we HAD this time to be able to say goodbye. They live about 8 hours away and I am sure, when the time comes they will come back but ya never know if they will make it or not. I am glad God gave us this time together. It was also a treat to meet his new wife (they got married Saturday and I wasn't able to go due to being in the hospital Friday). She is JUST what he needs and I am sure the will have a happy, blessed life. They met at church so that is the perfect start!!! She is a very sweet gal! My daughter and grandson were able to join us for lunch so it was nice to have that family time.

    I will let you all know tomorrow where we are headed with treatment.

    It is so strange because I FEEL GOOD but I can feel the dang cancer growing! It is true that God works in mysterious ways, lol.

    God Bless you all,

    Advantage of losing hair...

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    The first time I lost my hair I went from red hair that was almost to my butt to NO hair ANYPLACE on my body :? . My eyelashes grew in fast which was good. The 3 hairs on my chin were next :shock: and then the rest started to grow. I had 1/4 inch hair on my head when they decided to do PCI so of course I was going to lose THAT again. The night before I started we died it BRIGHT red, lol. Looked like a fire truck! It came out about 4 days after I started PCI and is now growing back but in a darker color. I started Topotecan and they said I may not lose my hair this time but it doesn't appear to be working (the chemo) so we are going to look at another chemo on Thursday. That will be the end of my hair once again. I have gotten brave and stopped wearing wigs when in my office. I still keep it with me in case I have to meet a client but if I am just in my office I am Toplesss :oops: , lol!

    God Bless,

    looking for an answer

    Jamie,

    It could be because of many reasons that surgery is not an option. Shrinkage is wonderful thing however and it sounds to me like they are getting the beast under control that way right now.

    Prayers that they will give you the needed information to help you and your Dad get through this. Remember THEY work for YOU!! Ask the tough questions and make them answer.

    God Bless,
