  1. Jen,

    My cough was worst after treatments, both chemo and radiation. It was not near as bad before dx. It has slowly gotten better . I still have a morning cough and an intermittent one through out the day. My last radiation treatment was Sept 2002. My cough was bad until May of 2003. I had a inhaler, phenergan w/codeine, and tessalon perle. The codeine stuff I only took at night so I could sleep. The tessalon I took as directed. My onc also prescribed antibiotics when the spudem(sp) was not clear. Keep an eye on the spudem(sp) with your low white counts. Infections are easy to get. You do not want the crap to get any deeper.

    Our best of luck on getting it under control.

  2. Bad Girls vs Good Girls

    * Good girls loosen a few buttons when it's hot. Bad girls make it hot by loosening a few buttons.

    * Good girls only own one credit card and rarely use it. Bad girls only own one bra and rarely use it.

    * Good girls wax their floors. Bad girls wax their bikini lines.

    * Good girls blush during love scenes in a movie. Bad girls know they could do it better.

    * Good girls think they're not fully dressed without a strand of pearls. Bad girls think they're fully dressed with just a strand of pearls.

    * Good girls wear high heels to work. Bad girls wear high heels to bed.

    * Good girls say, ''Don't... Stop...'' Bad girls say, ''Don't Stop...''

  3. One day a man goes to a pet shop to buy a parrot. The assistant takes the man to the parrot section and asks the man to choose one. The man asks, ''How much is the yellow one?''

    The assistant says, ''$2000.'' The man is shocked and asks the assistant why it's so expensive. The assistant explains, ''This parrot is a very special one. He knows typewriting and can type really fast.''

    ''What about the green one?'' the man asks.

    The assistant says, ''He costs $5000 because he knows typewriting and can answer incoming telephone calls and takes notes.''

    ''What about the red one?'' the man asks.

    The assistant says, ''That one's $10,000.''

    The man says, ''What does HE do?''

    The assistant says, ''I don't know, but the other two call him boss.''

    Jack Daniel's helped me. I do not know if it fixed the nasty taste in my mouth, but I really did not care. :D Gin was good in the summer.

    The fatigue never got worse and it went up and down with each treatment. The doctors should be able to help with both the fatigue and the vomiting. Good luck on your journey through Christmas and the new year. Remember there is an end to the treatment to look forward to.

  5. As far as being sick from chemo. Everyone reacts differently. I really do not think there is a correlation between being sick and the effectiveness of the chemo.

    Having radiation again depends on if it is in the same area and how much. I do not remember the amount of RADS you can have to one area. If it is needed in a different area it can be done. Dr. Joe (oncdoc)or a radiation oncologist can help clarify my generalities.

  6. Cathy,

    I had and still having great results with Iressa. I had some shrinkage in the beginning and stable ever since. I have been on Iressa for a year and seven months. I hope it works very well for you.

  7. These two eggs had just been married and were on their honeymoon.

    While they were sitting on the bed making out, the female egg pushed the male egg away and said, "I just have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute." and off she went.

    Five minutes later, the male egg saw his sexy wife walk out in a slinky ‘egg’lige, wiping her hands up and down her smooth, oval-shaped body.

    Instantly, the male egg slapped his hands on the top of his head, covering it completely.

    The female egg looked at him and asked what he was doing.

    He replied, "The last time I was this hard, someone cracked me on the head with a spoon!"

  8. There is a blonde, a redhead and a brunette on the stairway to heaven.

    God says, "There are 3,000 steps and I'll tell you a joke on each 1,000th step you reach. If you laugh you go to hell."

    So they start walking and reach to the first 1,000th step. God tells a joke, the brunette laughs and goes to hell.

    Then on the 2,000th step God tells a joke, the redhead laughs and goes to hell.

    On the 3,000th step God tells a joke, the blonde doesn't laugh and proceeds to the gate.

    Suddenly, she bursts out laughing. God asks, "what are you laughing about?", so she replies, "I just got the first joke!".

  9. A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."

    When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"

    The blonde nodded, "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."

    "From hunger, you mean?", asked the doctor."

    "No, from all that skipping."

  10. Now a goat might be all right. They keep the grass short and they pop little pills that are easy to clean up. I would just have problems with farm animals and my neighbors.
