I am getting ready for a new scan, but right now I am so low cancer is my last worry. Our 20 year old son is experiencing severe, and I mean severe, constipation, along with testicle pain, urinary frequency and nighttime urination, a swollen red throat with a small lump on the front of his neck, an ...

Sorry for the new fight you must undertake, and my best wishes for you.

Dear Cameron, you have my deepest sympathies and condolences. Words are never enough for such grief and loss, but know that I am very sorry to hear of your wife’s passing.

Although chemo made me nauseous, if I did not force myself to eat, I got so weak I could barely move about normally on infusion days. I’d go back to get the pump off and be struggling to sit in the waiting room chair if I didn’t eat. My blood sugar got really wacky during chemo and even if I did eat...

So sad to hear this. She was very kind to me, always helpful.

Rest well, Beans Mama. May God bring your family comfort and peace.

Your post breaks my heart.

I am so sorry. Prayers for you and your wife and family.

Very sad. My thanks to Tom for the hope and knowledge he shared so kindly. May God bring healing and peace to his family.

Janis, I am so sorry I did not read you post carefully enough to see that you already are a patient at MD Anderson.

I hope that you can find a clinical trial that could help you.

No matter what your decision, I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family.

Good luck today, AlexM!

Had open surgery, in the hospital many days.

I didn’t eat much of anything while in the hospital, had zero appetite. The last 2 days I drank broth and felt a bit better.

My large incision was uncomfortable and moving sucked, but ya gotta walk.
