Janet was told not to drive because the pump impedes with her driving. She gets chauffeured around for about a week until she feels more like herself. How are you able to do this? Do you drive each day? Larry Glenn can't drive because he's physically not able and it's very uncomfortable for him to sit straight up b/c of the fluid in his tummy, also. But, with all that DRANO newly pumped in his system, being weak and tired, I would be afraid if Glenn drove. He also gets lightheaded once in a while...so that wouldn't be good. No, I think I'll just keep him in the passenger seat the first week of chemo...LOL I'm very happy for the ones that CAN drive and continue to work and play, etc. God bless them all...and I hope it stays that way!!!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 (((((Ingrid ))))) extra extra hugs hun. Joe drives himself to chemo and home , but its only maybe 15min from home if that , and the onnnnnnly reason he drives is because I cant ( although I did practice in an empty parking lot the other day , ) But I still go with him , if for nothing else the moral support , heck I even go with him when he gets disconnected or even just to get his finger poked for blood work! But then again I am a stay at home mom so that helps tremendously. I noticed the last treatment ( last monday) they gave him this new Anti nausea med called Emends , wellll if they give them that again he AINT DRIVING . I will call us a taxi if nothing else!!!! He ran through a stop sign !!! and almost a red light on the way home!!!!! The next day driving to the bank he just about ran into the median wall thingy on the highway!! He is to take Emends for three days , so he wont be driving those three days , BUT it worrrrrks for the vomiting !!!!!! First time since January he hasnt gotten sick with treatment! Joe sleeps with Fanny too, you dont know how many times Ive wacked her rolling over lol.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Believe me there are days that I could just kill him!!!! Often wonder how it would be if the shoe was on the other foot. I imagine he would work it to the hilt and get all the attention he can. Just part of it I guess. I go to chemo by myself every other week. It is an hour and 15 minute drive. My 13 year old son has been more support and help then anything. I still make the meals and do the laundry and clean house. I still take care of the horses and critters. But needless to say, this just makes me want to live more so because I know that I have to to take care of everything here. My husband cannot even handle the checkbook to do the bills. But, still at least I know that others have it worse. I still have my faith and my wonderful son. Ingrid > (((((((Ingrid))))))) hun , can you do me a favor?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I am so glad that they finally found something to help with his vomitting. Hey, the vomitting is the worst. I had some of that on my second day of chemo last time. Not to much but it still bothered me. Ussually don't get to much of that. Each round of chemo has been diffierent and guess it was going to be the pukey one this time. LOL But it was only on the second day. Stomach was more settled after that. Yes, I wish so much my husband would be more supportive and be there for me. But, no one can't have it all I guess. At least he supports me finacially. Do not have to work and be on chemo. Now that would be the pits I think. Find it difficult enough to do daily chores without having to work a job too. I have always been the strong one in our relationship. Everyone handles cancer differently. My husband just does not handle my cancer very well. He does work himself to death to make the ends meet. So I have to accept this. It will get better. I have Faith that it will.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Funny our cat does the same thing.......Janet has to hide the tubing from him. He sleeps wrapped around her head. Great for her moral support though. Ingrid Lowe lowenco@...> wrote: Imagine this!!! I have a cat that snuggles next to me when I sleep. If I took off the pack and unrolled the tubing to stretch across where the pack was..... The cat might chew on the tubing. Then I would have a chemo cat.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I took Emends while I was doing the chemo and I found them very effective but never had a driving problem. Keep up the good work.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Ingrid: What stage was your cancer? I have a choice too. I have stage II, T3,N0,M0. I am 65, I am also diabetic. I am to have a PET scan next week. A CT scan revealed no problems. I am questioning going thru what you are going thru. What were the odds of a reoccurrence with your cancer? I think mine are 85 percent that I will not get a reoccurrence within 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 If I had a stage III, with a 50% chance of reoccurrence I would go with chemo. With stage II, I have a 85% chance of no reoccurrence and I will take my chances. Of course I will get checked every year for polyps and have a CEA blood test and perhaps a PET scan to be sure. I am also 65 yrs old, which changes the picture also. I have had a full life. My kids are grown. Thanks for your reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 My cancer was stage II, T2. My chances of having no recurrance in 5 years is 85.6%, if I took chemo it would only raise it by 3% so my Dr. didn't feel it necessary to put me through all that for only a 3% increase. Of course he said it was up to me and my husband if we wanted the treatment he certainly wouldn't deny it to me, but we decided to go w/ the Dr. and not take it. I go back every 3 months so they are keeping a close watch on me if something should come up! Lori -- - In colon_cancer_support , bob236@a... wrote: > Ingrid: > > What stage was your cancer?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 , My cancer was stage 111. Tumor had perforated the colon and one lymph node was positive. My chance of reoccurrence was 50% without chemo. The Onc did leave the choice to me. Of course it is always our choice what to do!!!!! He really leaned towards the chemo if I wanted a better chance. I did want to live so off to chemo. I am 49 years old and about to do round 12 of Folfox next week. Just am dreading it. Telling myself it is the last one hopefully, does not make it any easier to go through with it. But again if I do have a reoccurrence at least I can tell myself that I gave it my best shot. It is always your choice what to do in your treatment. Ingrid > Ingrid: > > What stage was your cancer? I have a choice too. I have stage II, T3,N0,M0. > I am 65, I am also diabetic.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 The N0 M0 means no lymph node involovement and no distant spread to other organs. If you go to the links section in our group and then go to (How is colon cancer staged), it will explain all this. It will explain the different stages as well as the other critaria that goes with each stage. Very good reading and very educational.

I had finished my last chemo last Thursday. Treatment twelve. Am feeling very tired this evening. Had a rough day trying to get my regular chores done. Got up this morning and fed the horses and turned them out. Wanted so bad to go lay down again. Fought that and went to store and bought stuff to make dinner. Had to do laundry then. By the time my husband came home I had dinner made but could not tolerate the salad dressing in my soooo sore mouth. Gave up then. Told my husband and son to clean stuff up when done and I needed to lay down. Slept a couple of hours and now am just checking e-mail and going to go lay down again. Guess the low blood counts are doing me in. Blood count was too low to do last chemo but I insisited since I wanted this done with. Did not want a shot to help with the blood counts. Just thought time would make it better. Guess my stubornness is now paying me back. (HUH) The docotr told me it might take a month to feel better. Seems forever!!!! I know Janet has it rougher then me. When I feel down I think how awful she must be feeling. I have found myself meeting so many new friends over this illiness and I just never knew all the suffering till now. I Pray so hard each day that all would get better. Thak YOU for all your support and Prayers. Ingrid Ingrid...hope you are feeling much perkier by now.

Nonnie IF THERE ARE NO DOGS OR HORSES IN HEAVEN THEN WHEN I DIE I WANT TO GO WHERE THEY WENT. HOPEFULLY, there IS a RAINBOW BRIDGE!! Re: Re: Ingrid In a message dated 5/2/2005 10:30:47 P.M.

Had a rough day trying to get my regular chores done. Got up this morning and fed the horses and turned them out. Wanted so bad to go lay down again. Fought that and went to store and bought stuff to make dinner. Had to do laundry then. By the time my husband came home I had dinner made but could not tolerate the salad dressing in my soooo sore mouth. Gave up then. Told my husband and son to clean stuff up when done and I needed to lay down. Slept a couple of hours and now am just checking e-mail and going to go lay down again. Guess the low blood counts are doing me in. Blood count was too low to do last chemo but I insisited since I wanted this done with. Did not want a shot to help with the blood counts. Just thought time would make it better. Guess my stubornness is now paying me back. (HUH) The docotr told me it might take a month to feel better. Seems forever!!!! I know Janet has it rougher then me. When I feel down I think how awful she must be feeling. I have found myself meeting so many new friends over this illiness and I just never knew all the suffering till now. I Pray so hard each day that all would get better. Thak YOU for all your support and Prayers. Ingrid Ingrid...hope you are feeling much perkier by now.
