Just a sad situation many of us are in who have children. I agree none of us should have to go through this, and the children especially shouldn’t have to lose parents so young. We have been dealing with Nathans emotions I think really well. I have bought nearly every book on the market for him, and...

My little 7 year old wanted to know why I was vomiting so much the other day. I said it was just I wasnt feeling well. He said its the cancer and chemo. So I said not the chemo as I have stopped it. "Forever" he nearly shouted at me " Mommy you cant do that you will die". Your tu...

what about tiredness - I am still so tired 4 weeks after my last treatment. Pain in my stomach is pretty bad too. Just wonder will I ever feel normal again, this sucks !

that sucks .. hope the introduction of the ir. helps. have a great easter / holiday season :}

I gave mine (Xeloda and Compazine) to my chemo infusion center. They give them to patients who don't have insurance coverage, which I was pretty happy to hear. These drugs are very expensive, so it's an issue for some people. I'm not sure how (or if) they verify that they haven't been tampered with...

HIPEC seems like the best route for peritoneal mets

I have mentioned this three times to my onc. now and last time she said that the treatment would be too harsh for me. Just so confused if this could work for me or not

so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Also sorry to hear of Neils passing in January - thoughts with both families at this sad time.

but it's a stealth little bastard that way

aint dat the truth !

I have had both and would certainly say get that picc line out and go for a port. love the convience of the port - my picc line was only in for 3 weeks and boy oh boy it hurt

She feels like stopping is giving up. She doesn't know what to do. Does anyone else have expereince with taking a break, for how long, did the cancer spread? If she is so bad with the chemo and the doctor advices a "chemo break" then she is NOT giving up. I had a break last year and ended...

way to go ladies - thats awesome.

BTW Pat the last video I saw of you was about a year ago, and you are looking so well these days :}

thanks for all the posts re this. Its something I have not just asked myself recently but on and off since being diagnosed, and was just curious about others and if they smoked or not. I agree I think the environment we live in plays a large part too .. although like everyone on here have questioned...
