just wondering how you are doing?

Hi there! Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. My mom has her PET scan on the 31st, followed by an appointment with her oncologist on 4/2. We don't find out until then where she is at. Its possible she may have more chemo, or we move to the next step, whatever that may be....thank you for asking, and sharing your experience. I will most certainly respond when I have more information. I wish you continued good news, strength and peace in your journey.

Congrats! You deserve to celebrate. My mom's MD said she couldn't get radiation to the lung, but her tumor has shrunk to a "partial remission" status. Do you have any info. on the radiation used on your lung (where, how many treatments, what MD said, etc.) that might be helpful for us to look into?

Hi Lisanne,

Hi Lisanne,
My bro in law has a completely different diagnosis but im so curious to know what it means to have 6 rounds? Does this mean the 1st round didnt show signs that it was effective? I ask bc my bro in law had 1round of chemo for leukemia (AML) and doctorrs believe thats all that can be done...i know i need to direct this question over to those with the same diagnosis and i promise i will...just so sadeveyone is accepting that my BIL doesnt have a chance when i believe he does!
Thanks and many healing prayers! Xo

Lisanne
Your posts are so lovely and loving to all. Husband diagnosed in Nov. with stage iv sclc. I've I had surgery in Nov. too. It has been a difficult yr. for him with back surgery last jan. He was not feeling well in late summer, but did not have ex ray till October . Dr. Do not listen and we do not know either. I believe in prayers and thankful in all we have together. It is still hard. We have two great kids whom each have wonderful families and 4 children each. I Hope my husband will get on here sometime and find support.

How are you doing ? Again Your posts wonderful. God bless.

Thanks for your response and congratulations! Yes...originally we were told hed do one round of chemo then his second round 3 weeks later...i guess im just stunned he wont be doing that! youre right about dr's experience w/ type and drugs, etc...hes going to begin an oral chemo in a few weeks...praying it does something for him! Many blessings to you Lisanne! -mary

I had the choice as well. It was a difficult choice. But it was caught early, went through the chemo.... I chose not to do the brain radiation. It is really personal. Had to argue with doctors, but I had other brain issues in 2002, and was not willing to take any other chances with it. Keep a watchful eye for speech, vision and other possible indicators of something amiss... It is a crap shot. I wish you well!

Hi Lisa I was diagnosed six months ago and I'm doing good. I have a rotten a week the week I get the chemo and nulasta, but the other weeks I feel good. This is my second round of chemo. The first round I had it once a week for seven weeks with radiation five days a week. Now I get chemo once every three weeks no radiation at the same time . Keep In touch and stay strong .

Hi lisanne6usa, thanks for following! Please feel free to contact me anytime if you want to share thoughts on treatments, feelings, or chat in general! I was so scared initially, this came on suddenly late last winter and wasn't till April of this year 2013 I was finally diagnosed. But I have been responding well to treatment and as upset and scared as I've been having this happen, I am now starting to feel real hope that I will be a survivor (I am responding well to treatment and my doctor is very optimistic about putting this completely into remission) and hopefully my experience can help someone else. Please feel free to write to me anytime, God Bless You, you are in my prayers, and we are NOT alone!

Hi lisanne, I too found the seat belt uncomfortable on my port. My chemo lab have me a small pillow with Velcro straps to put around the belt. Another patient made them and donated them. Very comfy now and I'm very touchy about my port. Try a small pillow or piece of foam.
