Kel,
I am not even going to try to add to these posts as Addie has so eloquently wrote of everything I would say to you. I'm praying for your mum to have a peaceful journey & courage for you & your family to get through this. Rachel

Doug, I also swelled from the steroids. I am not fond of the little buggers. Drink lots of water. Asparagus,mushrooms are natural diaretics. Walking also helped me. Hope it gets better. Rachel

Pamm, I was also given only 6 rounds of my first line chemo. I was told that more than that would be to toxic (cisplatin & etopiside) then came radiation. Didn't start that until like my last chemo. Kicked my biscuit! Good luck to you. You are on my list of prayers. Positive thoughts coming your way. Rachel

Dianne,
That is great news. Keep us posted with your results. I was on IV Topotecan and tolerated it very well. I am now doing a pill form of Temedor. My last scan was clean. Good luck to you. Rachel

Do you think they would help if they knew they could get into the house sooner? Cindi I wish I was closer to help you. Also call all those people who offered to help. It's worth a try. I never offer unless I know I can make good. I have done alot of babysitting and store shopping for sick friends. How about a small moving service.? Is everything going directly to the new place? Just some thoughts. Let me know.
Hugs, prayers and good vibes coming your way...Rachel

Jen,
I am so sorry to hear about all this. I wish there was more I could do besides praying & sending good vibes. Hang in there Jen. Keep an attitude up. I know it's easier said than done. I am hugging you big time & praying for your family also. Sending you strength. Rachel

Thank you all for your prayers and good wished. My scans turned out good. Brain Ned, my back shows a herniated disc probably from when I stepped in the hold in the boat twice.. my lower left lung shows what they think is scar tissue. Everything will be sent to my Onc Doc'c in Oregon. I am happy dancing. I wish and pray for all of you to have these results.

Cathy,
I lost my hair from chemo 2 weeks to the day just like I was told. We were fishing and big clumps came out in the breeze. That's when I decied to shave my head that night. After rad it was like 2 weeks again. I had a friend of my father-in-law shave it. Now it is growing with a reverse mohawk right down the middle!! And I never knew I had so many cowlicks!!! Afte each treatment I loaded on the vitamin E kept it from burning. It's worth a try. Plus bald is the thing. I was in Florida and went for a tattoo and tha guys there kept commenting on my hair or lack of. They thought it was cool!!!
Good luck to you. See my other post in General. Rachel

Cindy,
That is to weird. This afternoon the same thing happened to me. Playing fetch with Ole & it felt like my eyes were just rolling around in their sockets.Mine only lasted less than a second (I think) I am also releived that I wasn't driving. I would have been in the ocean! Let me know what you find out. I'll look for web sites.
