hello Karen,
My husband was in a parp inhibitor trial but found out yesterday it was not working/I do not get used to hearing I am sorry it is not working For me it is as shocking as hearing he had cancer the first time/Trying hard to keep my chin up
we tried gemzar and folfox and worked for a brief while then the clinical trial we had to be off of all meds for a month to enter trial then 4 weeks on trial and no good results so 8 weeks and there was further progression I was told there is only 1 chemo left ironitican, My husband is 63.What trial is he on,Is it an infusion ora pill? Sounds like you are getting good results, Thank the Lord

Jesus loves us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides Ativan... I get a massage almost every week. I go to a prayer group every week.... During the summer, I've been going to a nearby lake and floating on my float, I like to work in my yard, I'm a piano player..thus playing just for pleasure vs. work... I try to be very intentional about doing things that 'help' with stress... Thus- whatever helps him to relax, encourage it! Good luck!

Dear Karen80's - Welcome to this site - something of a lifeline for me and others, so hopefully, we can be helpful to you as well. At this point, I can only endorse the advice and counsel that others have already given to you. I too am a Stage IV and still in treatment (that is likely to have to continue until I simply cannot take it any longer). So, I certainly have my own issues with anxiety. But, at the same time, I also know I must remain as strong and positive as I possibly can if I'm to have even a chance of beating this. So, that's my goal and that's what keeps me going.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for help and advice. Courage! JMS

It is an honor to have you follow me...it sounds as though your clinical trial is successful to some degree. While you are undergoing treatments it is without question that you will feel fatigued and feel anxiety. Towards the end of my 24/7 chemo for 5 weeks, non- stop, and radiation 5 days a week at the same time I was crawling on my hands and knees until I could get up enough strength to stand up. The last couple of days were spent in bed only to crawl to the bathroom when necessary. It was a struggle... one that you must never give up. Never give up hope, because hope is the last candle fluttering in the dark while all the others have gone out. Now don't give up on the candle of hope...it needs you in order to stay lit. Never, ever give up hope.
Best to you...Russ
