  1. I had a different chemo but my veins would hurt. It is still hard for the lab to draw blood out of one or two of them. Could not use my hands had to use the veins higher up on my arms. Nina

    I'll have a white russian please. I love anything with chocolate in it. Nina P.S. I just reread the above and it sounds like I want a little grey headed ole russian fellow that has some chocolate in his hand. You get the picture don't ya?

  12. Kasey, I know you must feel horrible or we would be seeing your bright smile with your posts here. I will be praying for you and that you are able to get well soon and that your scans go on as scheduled. Of course after that I want your smiling face in a post saying NED again. Love you Kasey..take care of yourself girl. Nina
  13. I hate any word that describes anything coming or running out of one's nose. I also hate most words that the lower parts of a woman's anatomy but will use the proper ones when needed. I don't like potty humor much either. There are probably more but that's all I can think of right now.

    Acceptance

    I am sorry Sarah. I know this is hard on you, your mom and your family. Nina
  15. Welcome Trish. I am sorry to hear about your brother. Please accept my condolences. We are here for support and to listen so please feel free to post your feelings. Nina
  16. Tanner, It breaks my heart to hear of another young person with this nasty disease. I am sorry you had the need to look for us but so glad that you found us. I will keep you, your wife and children in my prayers. This is a wonderful place for information and support. Keep us posted. Nina
  17. Good to hear from you, its been a while but I am sorry to hear about your friend. You might want to tell him about the post a few weeks ago about diaphram breathing. Keeps the chest more still during the radiation. I wish I had known about it when I had mine. Instead of raising the chest pull the diaphram down. What stage was your friend at dx? I am surprised that they didn't offer him chemo and/or radiation at the time. Let us know what they decide. Nina
  18. Happy Birthday Lilly. Here's hoping that the chemo you are having to go through now will give you many, many more birthdays. Nina

    Almost Gone

    Glad to hear it Bill. How are you holding up to the chemo? I took the same treatment but only had three cycles. I had NSCLC so not quite the same I guess. I was tired and a little nauseated but otherwise did fine. My favorite thing to eat was chocolate milk shakes so each anything that will keep your weight up. Nina
  21. It sounds like my first advice would be to find another doctor. Make sure you get copies of all of his scans (the scan itself, not just the interpretation), xrays, blood tests etc. Just get a second opinion to be sure. There doesn't seem to be much communication for you where you are now. Nina
  22. Welcome Heather. I am sorry you found the need to look for this site but so glad that you found us. We are here to help each other and listen to each other. When you have questions there is at least one person here who has been through the same or almost the same thing and can answer you. It sounds like you held up really well to chemo so that shows you are strong and otherwise healthy. I wish you the best. Nina
  23. Maybe Iressa or zophran. Both of those are pills that come from the pharmacy. Iressa is an oral chem type drug and zophran is for nausea. I am sure others will think of more that you might want to look out for. Nina
