    What do You Make of this??

    in SCLC GROUP

    Posted

    I think I would be looking for a new Doctor FAST! I have been so blessed with all the Doctors I have dealt with. They all have positive attitudes and realize that statistics are just sets of numbers that don't mean much anymore!

    Prayers for more compassion from your Doctor headed your way!

    What a day!

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Good for you! I have started to "snap" more and more, lol. I think we need to, especially with kids. If there is a chance of keeping even 1 of them from starting smoking it is worth it.

    I will be talking to the school system about talking to the 6th grade health class sometime in the next few weeks. I figure it is time (while I am still bald) to "shock" some of them in to thinking about it.

    Go for it girl!

    Headed to the Hospital

    This has truly been an interesting day friends. I was pretty sure that it was going to be my last day from the pain I had this morning. When we found out what was causing it I felt a little better but it still hurt, alot! I went back in at 3pm to have the fluid drained and they told me things were "Running a little behind" so it would be awhile. I got in my gown crawled in the bed and waited....................4 1/2 hours!!! They didn't start the procedure until 7:30pm, lol.

    He got me all hooked up to the bottle that the fluid drains in to and the suction was to much so he had to do most of the draw by hand. Got about 1/2 way through and I had a MAJOR pain in the center of my chest. He told me it was probably my heart moving back into place, lol. Once it moved back the pain was gone! I feel as good now as I ever have, lol. What a day!

    Thank you all for your prayers! I am sure they are what helped!!!

    God Bless each of you!!!

    Asking for Help

    I would think that if there is a Cancer support group at the hospital you might get recommendations from some of the members? Being new to an area puts you at a disadvantage but that is one place I would look. You might also see if there is a physician referal agency in town and they can sometimes give good recommendations.

    I really lucked out and got wonderful Doctors. I will be praying that you find a good one!

    God bless,

    Update on my Dad

    I agree with Becky, once he is over the illness he may not need to continue with the oxygen. Several folks here have been on and off of it for various reasons. Prayers being said!

    (((((Friends)))),

    I am home for a few hours and then I go back in at 3pm to have major fluid drained from my lung again. Seems like my right lung has filled up again and is pushing everything off to the left side which is causing the pain. The Dr. comment when he saw the xray was "Wow, look at all that fluid", lol.

    We hope this will take away the pain and life will resume as normal.

    THANK YOU all for the prayers! I know they helped!!!!!!!

    God Bless you all,

    (((((Friends))))),

    I woke up this morning with the most pain I have ever had since dx. My entire left side feels like it is on fire so I am headed to the hospital. Either I or my daughter will let you know whats going on.

    Prayers appreciated. This one scares me!

    God Bless you all,

    Lucie is one of God's miracles (and so are you Don)! You have inspired so many people and always have a kind word or shoulder if needed.

    I hope this is the BEST Birthday ever and all of Lucie's wishes are granted!

    God Bles you both!

    Fever Question

    in NSCLC GROUP

    Posted

    Any fever with low blood counts is cause for a phone call. My Dr. gets mad if I don't call him if I get over 100.4. You are so much more likely to catch something when counts (especially white counts) are low. One thing that helps me a lot is washing my hands as often as I can. I am ALMOST to the OCD point, lol. I also try and stay away from large groups of people when my counts are low (the mall, main parts of the hotel, etc.).

    Prayers for a simple case of the flu or something even less!

    God Bless,

    Met to stomach?

    Tell your Dad he is not alone and there are over 900 "Family Members" who would love to meet him and help him through this! Maybe he will talk to someone NOT involved so closely??

    Welcome Sharleen,

    I also have SCLC, now with mets to liver and 1 lymph node. Just started Topotecan as my second round of chemo. Please ask any questions you have or answer any questions you have answers to! We all share and share alike here, lol.

    God bless you and prayers being said for remission (or stability)!

    Met to stomach?

    My CT scans always include the abdomen. They look at the liver (I have mets there now). I doubt if it is his "stomach" but anything is possible I guess.

    Prayers for answers for you coming your way.

    God Bless,
