SMR,
Share all your stuff, let tears flow when you are typing like are mine .. Nobody gets it other that all our wonderful sisters here.. Pls don't hold it back .... We r here to listen only if that's what u want.
If onc wants to start chemo thats gr8!! But wait at least 8 weeks or longer b4 avastin.. It's a good drug but our personal wild card .....I can explain more if u want.
Mojo,
I have no words to describe you .. You are still standing proud and have time 4 us .. I can definitely say u are a god-send for me.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart (or the heart of my bottom)...lol!! Like my teenager said the other day ...
Melanie, honey .... Don't worry abt time-lines.. Some oncs feel they need to give them.. I don't go by that... Get finances,will,etc in order.. Make a priority list... It helps me a lot.. Enjoy ur daughter'sgradn and hubby's speech .. Video tape him when he's in good spirits.. I'm going to start doing that....2
Tina... To lose a child is a greatest fear of any mother.. And I've already been thro' that.... Don't get stuck on the"why"...deal with the " how" ... Start looking for a job , now ... It's very important that u can work if u need 2
My hubby did the same chemo 3 yrs ago and wld start feeling btr by Sun.... And he worked the entire following non-chemo week.. Not the brightest idea for him.. But then he had a business to run and felt obliged to all his employees
After each round he mite take more days to recover ... Just keep him well hydrated and if u think he's doing too much.. Talk privately to the nurse ... And let the medical team b the bad cop .. We often 4get we r the only good cops they have
