SBeth Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Kim and Welcome. It sounds like you are getting the hang of things around here and we're glad to see you found your way back to your post. Glad you are doing better and getting your blood pressure under control, that's important. I was curious as to whether you have been diagnosed with small cell or non-small cell? I ask because my husband has NSCLC with a recently discovered met to his adrenal gland and there has been no offered treatment. Although the only symptom we have noticed, aside from spiking blood pressure, is hot/cold flashes and sweats that have escalated considerable in the past few weeks. We think this may be from the adrenal met, but are not sure. The adrenal controls such things as hormones, so your increased emotions may be the involvement of your adrenal along with everything else you are dealing with. My best to you and we look forward to hearing more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinsdakota Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi; another thought, are u taking steroids before and after chemo? Steroids made me cry like a baby...and Im 61. hehe Might be the steroids too, they make some of us a bit crazy. Might check with doc, of course , on any of these symptioms. k..take care..Rich B.

Don M Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi again Kim: I bet you are taking steroids. And as Rich B says, they do weird things to people. For me, it gave me a lot of initial energy and made it hard to sleep. Things will get better when you are done with chemo and off the steroids. I am sorry your children are not more responsive to your telling them about chemo and how you feel. I did not talk much about chemo with my family, but I did not have a hard time with it either. Also, I guess I would not have much patience with people who are put off about my cancer. I don't know if your children have that attitude or not, but anyway, I figure, that if I have cancer I can say and act pretty much any d--n way I please. As another member put it, I can't remember exactly who, she said "don't mess with the cancer lady". I hope this chemo treatment knocks your cancer back to zero or way back at least.
