Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 a, I see my doctor next Wed. May 9th and I am going to ask him about changing vitamins cause I do think that might be a part of it. I am feeling better today, but it seems to kinda have it's days. Hopefully I am starting to get over the hump with it and be able to enjoy being pg!!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 a, Thanks for confirming it's not just me who finds something new to worry about after other fears are assuaged. That's great about your big u/s coming up. Will it be at 21 weeks then? I imagine they can see an awful lot of development by that point. I guess I would be excited/little nervous too about that, but think about what great news you're going to get from it! Thank you.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 I forgot to add today was 6 weeks exactly from af. I also forgot to tell you thanks for the CL info. I was really obsessing over it for some reason. Dominique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it is not working... everything she ate today is gone and now she is afraid to ate. Can't blame here, nobody likes getting sick.

I ended up having asked my onc three times before he agreed to allow me to increase my dose of Xeloda. When I then asked about adding Celebrex, he immediately said yes even though I remember asking him about it when I first started on Xeloda (back in the summer) and his response was a no. I wonder if sometimes they just dig their heels in and don't want to make a change for fear it makes them look like they were wrong? Gawd, I hope not, but sometimes I wonder. I agree with you that being sick, sick, sick is no quality of life and if there are other options - different meds, different treatment regime - to try, then the dang docs should try them. Maybe there wouldn't be people out there who give up due to side effects if the docs were a bit more creative when it comes to managing care, especially for Stage IV folks. If you end up having to talk to the doc (read: set him straight) then I wish you luck and will be praying he will hear you. Best to you and your mom, Terry in you-know-where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawd, I hope not, but > sometimes I wonder. > a, I just read the emails about your mom's horrible nausea & meds not working. I'm new to this whole thing so she may have already tried this but my husband has 2 anti nausea drugs infused with his chemo and then takes compazine every 6 hrs for 3 days following to prevent nausea & vomiting.(He's on CPT-11/5FU/Lv) He takes more if he needs but this has been working very well for him.I read the message about it not being for those with liver involvement,I don't know about that, my husband has extensive liver mets but his liver function tests are pretty good considering. Hang in there,there has to be something that will help! I really admire your spirit and the way you're helping your mom. Our kids are still too shocked by the diagnosis to help, instead I feel like I spend more time consoling them than supporting my husband. > I agree with you that being sick, sick, sick is no quality of life and if > there are other options - different meds, different treatment regime - to try, > then the dang docs should try them.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 a- It would be worth letting the onc know about the acid reflux. I was on Prevacid once daily (the standard dose) but was still having problems with some nausea, so they have upped it to twice daily. It helps me. Hope things go better soon.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I so admire your strength and commitment to your parents. You are quite a gal! They can be very proud. I hope your Mom is a bit more comfortable and I'm going to keep praying for all of you. May God's love surround you all. Please take care of you too as much as you can. Your parents need you, and frankly so do we. Your positive attitude and quiet calm in the midst of this storm is an inspiration. I am sure you have your moments as we all do but you are doing a fantastic job and I for one am so proud of you. I just wish there were a way to take away the pain of all this for you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Feel free to write anytime. God Bless you and your Dad Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
