To all of you who have written, I give my heartfelt thanks. You have taught me about this connection and have given me strength to approach my Mom and have something to offer her. I printed your replies and suggestions/experiences and I brought her some of the items that I read about. It spurned thought and hope and a much needed lift of spirits. I continue to learn something everyday about people and Cancer, about me and my family and how to be. You have all made today a "good" day for us and I send my most positive vibes out to you. Today was great. Thank You.
By the way the 1% hydrocortisone with 12 moisturizers and aloe did appear to help her itching and she went to see her Doc about doxycycline.Aside to Ned, Aloha, my mom did infact have shingles not so long ago, on her face and her eye, she seemed to recover from that but these lesions do still appear like shingles, however they are over her face scalp torso shoulder, abdomen and upper thighs? I don't think that is shingles because of the growth pattern but it certainly looks herpetic.
She realated to me a helpful hint for those with diarrhea, try coconut macaroons, I don't know more than that yet but I am happy to spread whatever news I can. Once again, your responses have touched us all here and reminded me personally about the power of people.
More to come,
