Dear group, This 48 hours moratorium has been the best idea, and the best present you could have given us Bonnie Jean. So thank you very much for such a wise decision. I love this group, really love it. I've been reading old messages, and paying special attention to those from april 1 to date, as to bring things into context And would like to share a couple of thoughts with you. What has happened here lately, semeed very troublesome to me. It broke my heart that Elaine had to pass through this. She, the most valuable among us, generous, honest, responsible, knowledgeable, hardworker, noble, kind, and could I go on, she, Elaine, had to unpack and dig papers for hours, just to match 's needs of clarity relevance, and accuracy when it comes to health- related matters. I understand those needs , but if you wouldn't mind and in all fairness I'd like to say that Support groups are thought mainly for support, and then for connecting people, for sharing, learning, relating, and they are not intended to be for other type of things, or for graduate school discussions. , this disease is a difficult one to deal with. So, I borrow Elaine's words to you: fire away your questions and the members of this board will reach out to help you and welcome you in the way that you deserve. So, let's go along sticking together, sharing and searching, and helping each other the best way we can do. All my best. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Elaine, that was a wonderful response. My admiration for you and the members of this group grows daily. Yea, Gravesians!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 Just got back from a mini-vacation (did I say vacation? an almost two year old and almost four year old at a cabin filled with breakable items and a lake ten feet away? Call it work) and was soooooooooooooooo happy to see your message, Elaine! Great news and I needed some.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'd like to second that. And all stage II/III's should remember, the longer you have gone without recurrence, the less likely you are to have one in the future. MOST recurrences occur in the first 2-3 years, so the odds get better with time! Best Wishes, > Gracie - Welcome. Your good news is like a breath of fresh air!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Will he drink a regular milkshake? Try bananas, pudding, cream soups, peanut butter if his system can handle it and cream pies like chocolate banana or Boston crème. Scrambled eggs (cooked DON'T add RAW eggs to food) are a good way to add protein so is cheese. Although it doesn't have a lot of calories you can also try chicken and beef broth. Macaroni and cheese is good. If he like Alfredo sauce you can try that with chicken and noodles. A baked potato is pretty filling and he can load it with all kinds of treats. Sour Crème Cheese Bacon Broccoli you name it. I'm going to stop now because I'm getting hungry and I DON'T need to GAIN. <giggle> Take care. Narice Hello Hello, My daughter Kim found this group a couple weeks ago, and talked me in to joining. I signed up a week ago, and have been reading all the messages, and you sound just like what I need right now. My hubby Ron was diagnosed on June 26, 2003 with stage 4 sigmoidal cancer. It is spread to his fat cells, his lymph nodes, and still in his bowel. He will start chemo on Aug 27, his treatment will be 3 weeks on and 1 week off for 2 months. The meds used will be camptosar/Leucovorin/fluorouracil. They said the meds won't make him sick and he will be able to drive himself to and from chemotherapy. But I do have a question for you all. Just getting the dyes from the CT scans makes him have diahrea bad for days. Will this? Also he has lost about 40 lbs. just since June. He doesn't like ensure, or boost and doesn't care for the carnation either. Now what do I do? He has pracitcally been living on Pop tarts. Well, that is all I can think off for now. All suggestions welcome. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Hi Tammy, <<The meds used will be camptosar/Leucovorin/fluorouracil. They said the meds won't make him sick and he will be able to drive himself to and from chemotherapy.>> <<Just getting the dyes from the CT scans makes him have diahrea bad for days. Will this?>> I don't know - it is very possible. The reaction to chemotherapy seems to vary quite widely among patients, from " not too bad a time " to " absolutely miserable a time " . It is impossible to say beforehand where he will fall on the scale. Because of this, I would suggest a cautious approach. Why not have someone drive him to/from treatment the first time, " just in case " ? Can't hurt, might help! Here are some booklets for Camptosar patients http://www.meds.com/colon/camptosar/camptosar.html Scroll down to " Camptosar (Irinotecan) Product Information for Patients " See especially http://www.meds.com/colon/camptosar/guide2.html http://www.meds.com/colon/camptosar/guide.html Diarhhea can be a serious side effect of Camptosar, don't let it get out of control as it can be life threatening! http://www.meds.com/colon/camptosar/usx5987.html http://www.meds.com/colon/camptosar/usx5687.html Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 , Thanks for the update. Although your life is busy right now it is so wonderful with those boys. Good luck on the hormone testing for Timmy. How are things with Donna really? She and her children must be in such a fog right now. Is there any update? I know you said you ran into her by chance. Sometimes there have been moments in my life where I don't think things happened by chance. I am glad Donna got to see you. You are a person whose presence brings joy. Oh, and good luck on the behavior thing. Besides all the other stuff one of the most important things we did and still do with Patty is " tough love " ? When we say no we have to mean it. What we do we have to foolw through with it though. When I said to do something or she wouldn't.... then WE wouldn't. Good luck. He is just as persistant as she is. It is what makes her beautiful though. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Donna- As everyone else has expressed, my thoughts too have been (and will be) with you. Yours is an unbelievable life situation. I know I hated it when people told me how strong I was, we don't get more than we can handle, blah, blah. Gee-- I figured it was a crummy reward for being such a great person. Anyway- I don't want to say all those things. But I do want to say that you will manage and get through it. Of course, you know that. But it doesn't hurt to hear others confirm that you *can* rise to any ocassion. I'm sure you will find that you have a multitude of valuable skills as you go out there looking for a job. It can be scary to be sure. But you are someone that any employer or agency would love to have on board. Relax. Know that things will work out one way or another. If you do what you need to do but also let it happen, things will fall into place. You just can't imagine what that will look like now. Reminds me of the times when Aubrie was newborn and I couldn't imagine that life would ever be " ok " or " good " again. You all told me that it would. I couldn't envision what that new " ok " would look like -- but it did all work out. You were right. And those things that you told me in the beginning hold true for you now. Strength and hugs your way-- Michele W Aubrie's mom Re: hello Debbie, Bonnie, , Pam ,Kim and Kay - Thank you all so very much for your kind words and support. Tim has been home for just under a week now and hasn't missed a beat. Truely truely amazing....3 1/2 months in the hospital, in a bed and besides the obvious need of a haircut....one might never know what he's been through. So, presently, I wait.....waiting for a school placement so we can all get on with life here. Wait for my oldest daughter to start college in the Fall (going as a pre-med major....unbelievable) and wait for life to return to " normal " . I have not worked outside of my home for 18 years and I am currently getting my resume together to go job hunting. Hopefully this will all come together with perfect timing...yea, right. Nothing is ever that easy. ...and who would have guessed, some 4-5 months ago when life was so perfect that I would be in this situation.........not me. But life goes on and we all will be ok........ eventually. Thank you again for keeping us in your prayers. It means a great deal to all of us.
