    Off for second round of Topotecan

    Thank you all for the kind words. Seems like the main side effects are dropping blood counts and constipation and we can deal with those. They cut the steroid dosage in 1/2 so I only ate like a pony and NOT a full grown horse on Tuesday!

    Thank you all again!!

    Love ya and God Bless,

    Gentle hugs to you today! I know what you mean about others and their "Bad Hair Days". I am to the point that I have pulled off my wig and asked if they really wanted to talk about a bad hair day! Some days you just have to find the humor in a given situation!

    Going to the Zoo

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Today is my son's 27th birthday! He, his wife, my daughter, my Grandson and I are all going to St. Louis tomorrow to go to the ZOO!!! We are also going to the Science Center and taking in part of the Lewis and Clark exhibit at the historical society (making memories for my Grandson)!

    I am borrowing a page from DeanCarl and renting a motorized scoot to get around the zoo!! That way I will have the energy to do the rest of the things, lol.

    Hope you all have something fun planned for the week end!

    God Bless,

    Prayers and good wishes being sent your way. I know how hard it is to consider the loss of both parents (mine were 6 months apart) but your Dad is still here! Miracles happen every day and we are praying for one for him!

    Prayers and good wishes being sent your way. I also wonder how much my 4 year old grandson will remember but I am making memories for him right now with lots of pictures, videos and letters I am leaving for him.

    Treasure the time you still have!

    After a long wait, I finally got the results back from my biopsy! They have discovered that I now have a combination of small cell and non-small cell going on in my liver (and lymph node in neck). Non small cell "appears" to be poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.

    We will continue with the topotecan and see what happens from here!!

    Thanks for all your prayers and the love and concern that have been shown! I do so appreciate it.

    God Bless,

    I am headed in for my second treatment. Wish me luck. It will be interesting to see if I eat like a horse again tonight, lol.

    I have noticed a few minor side effects pop up over the past couple of days so we will also see if they increase with the second dosage.

    God Bless you all!!

    special need during chemo??

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    I think a lot of it depends on the person and what they LIKE to eat. I found that "comfort" foods were something I really wanted like my grandma's meatloaf or my dad's tomato soup, lol. I had a had time eating because of the radiation, not the chemo. Now I have had a hard time starting to eat again as I got so used to NOT eating, lol. Last Dr.s visit his nurse took one look at me and said "Get your a** up on that scale!!" She and I have always had a good rapport, lol and she knew I had not been eating like I should. Made it easier to order the brownie delight for dinner the other night though, lol.

    Your Dad will let you know what he wants to eat but have a wide, easily prepared, variety of foods available for him.

    God Bless,
