New Here, New Diagnosis Stage IV Non Small Cell
betplace replied to rosie1's topic in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
I just wanted to welcome you and thank you for joining our board. I am sending prayers that you make the decision to get a 2nd and even a third opinion. Don't let the apathy of some of the medical profession close down the will to fight. There is much that can be done. Chemo does make you miserable, but it is usually not intolerable , plus you can always stop if it causes too much, but you will have at least tried! Blessings Betty -
Oh my Goodness (((Cathy))) I am so sorry to hear this dearheart! I am sending hugs and prayers out that you can resolve all the issues. I know how frightening it can be when everthing moves so fast and it all seems like such bad news, but it may turn around just as quickley and I will be praying for that outcome! We are behind you 100% Blessings Betty

I started out extensive stage with a couple Mets on my liver and one lesion on a rib plus the main tumor in ther right upper bronchial tube. All eliminated by Chemo Several months later a tumor developed on my spine wrapped around the spinal cord, eliminated with radiation. Acouple months later new mets started in shoulder, right shoulder blade, a couple of ribs, more in liver, plus return of origanal tumor and another lung tumor on left side. These were all shrinking, however spinal tumor went in opposite direction and started to regrow. No further treatment planned I hope that helps you sweetie

My friends, I want to thank you all for the many messages of support and hope I have received from all of you over the last few months. It has really meant a lot. Now for the bad news, I am entering the final stages of my journey. I woke up tuesday and couldn't walk. the tumor on my spine from last summer has come back. It is wrapped around my spinal cord and all roads at this point lead to paralysis and death. It is just a matter of time. The consensus was that I could continue chemo, but it would just make my life miserable with out any return. Surgery to remove the tumor was out as well, for various reaasons and radation is not an option because the area has recieved the maximum dosage already. I spent the last 4 days in the hospital and have now been discharged home into Hospice care. I will be checking in as long as I can, and have let my sister know to let you folks know when it is over as well. I am scared and can barely walk from couch to puter, but my thoughts and prayers are all for those of you struggling against this beast along side me. Blessings all Betty

Hi Karen, My platelets just dropped last week again. I was down to 29 with low normal being 150 so went through 5 days of Numega shots again. It still dropped down to 25. Yes, it makes you retain fluid, I had lots of water retention with it. You are right David IS experiencing all the same side effects already, the NuMega, however, intensifies it. Both times I felt totally dreadful!! The first time it helped, this time it didn't bring them up anyway, and I ended up having 3 pints of red blood cells transfused this week. As to why they changed their minds, that is a good guess. Oh and I gave myself the shots, the nurse showed me how, and I took home the needles and the meds and gave myself the shots! Another new skill learned! LOL one I really didn't wan't to learn! Prayers for you all dear! And give that pretty little girl a hug and kisses from me! Blessings Betty
