Sohopeful Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 My Father has just completed his radiation treatments and is now on a month Chem break. A break very much welcomed..... he has become very weak. He also has developed a tremble. My mother believes the tremble is caused by him laying in bed all day and sleeping. He (back before we got the news of cancer) was a "very" active man. No grass growing under his feet. Now lies in bed all day watching TV & sleeping. I know he is very depressed and who isn't from the shock of Lung Cancer stage 4! So my ? is anybody else have the trembles? Do you think getting him up and doing things again will help get rid of them? Do you think its caused by "weak" muscles? I also want to add a Thank you everyone to all on this site ! The support and words of encouragement is awsome!!! I come to this site often and read (ok lurk) but I don't post to often. Thanks again and Take care, Michelle Dad given cancer news in April 2003 Stage 4 mets to brain & spine Brain operation to remove 90% of tumor May 2003 Started rad & chemo May 2003 Break from treatment July 2003 Pray to God to give my Father a Pass to live a much longer life!!!

kimblanchard Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 My husband has a shaking on the right side of his body. We believe it is due to the procedure that was done on his brain. It only goes away when he is sleeping. It is kind of like palsy in his right leg. Blessings to you, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail p-m Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 My Dad had a slight tremor in his hands before the diagnosis of lc. It was deemed non-essential which means it's basically old age (for him) by the neurologist. However, now he has to take dexadron before chemo to lessen the chances of an allergic reaction. The tremor has certainly worsened and we think it's from the dexadron, perhaps the chemo. It seemed to lessen somewhat as he got near the end of the chemo round but has increased again since he had his second chemo round. Of course, the oncologist hasn't much to say about it.
