Jen, I don't think Hilt had a headache....just felt like he had been run over by a really big truck...no energy. How long did it last? (the chemo) I have been thinking about you. Karen

Iwill always think of you and your brother from now on whenever I see a butterfly...what a lovely remembrance....my heart goes out to you.

So sorry about your horrible experience. Know that you are not alone...you have all of us thinking of you .

Fantastic!! Tuesday it is...I know we sure felt better when treatment began....We will be thinking about you!

Oh Jen!!!! I am sorry I did not read this till now..we have been out of town doing chemo. Please do not give up hope.....they have so many wonderful treatment options!!!! what exactly did they say about area in liver? They are probably just trying to find the best treatment plan. I am here if you need me. Karen

WHAT A MIRACLE!!! I am so happy for you!

I am so very sorry....I think that you will not fight this disease alone....our voices blend as one

my heart is with you.

Connie is right...chemo is different for everyone. My husband did these cisplatin and vp16 for 9 hours 1st day then vp16 for 4 hours day 2 and 3 . he did great the first set then had a pretty severe reaction the second time we went in. then we did steroids before each time after that. they told us that they did not have many that had bad reactions that often..but when they did it was usually severe. so odds are if they drip it slow and begin with steroids you will do fine. good luck. my husbands diagnosis was changed to nsclc at the conclusion of the combo so now he is doing taxotere. karen

my husbands diagnosis was changed from sclc to nsclc and we did not find out till this Thursday....he has already done all radiation and almost all of chemo....they knew a long time ago...apparently just a slip up. they say it is still best treatment but, I read up on it and it looks like treatment is slightly different with different chemo drugs used. he did 30= 2 times a day radiation treatments. and cispatin and vp 16 1st day and vp 16 next 2 days for three days every 3 weeks. what do you think? _________________ Karen

so happy to hear all is clear...that chemo does so many strange things...I would not be surprised to find eye problem is chemo related.

we are at md anderson we had done the original bronchoscopy here at home and I brought the slides with me to md anderson and the looked them over and said they thought it was nslc and not oat cell like the original report said. they have probably known a month. the genetic person I was talking to actually told us that the diagnosis was different ..so I called dr and he called me in. we have several dr's working with us...I am not sure what happened. my husband is 48 and never smoked cigarettes and this is his 3rd time with cancer the other 2 were colon cancer...he was diagnoses at 42. He is my love they just have to fix this! thank you so much for getting back to me so fast.

well we know it is or was 6 1/2 cm. 25% of right lung not anywhere else . lymphnode in middle of lung and outward. the dr said it was stage 3 ....but that is different too since it is not anywhere else...I guess it is the size that they are staging by. You know we made the choice to go to the "big city" because it is the best. I still feel it is. I hope ...I pray

my heart knows your pain. I am so sorry for the loss of your love.
