CarlosHi everybody;
My mom passed away yerterday.
Thanks very much for your support in these five years.
Regards;
CarlosThanks Lainy for the advice, very usefull.
And what about ask Doctor tomorrow for a new blood tranfusion?
Any expirience with this?Regards;
CarlosHi again in this new year and thanks to all of you.
After one month from last oncologist appointment we have the next one this Tuesday.
Doctor will decide along with blood test results if my mom continues with xeloda treatment after a month break. Now she just has been taking diuretic pills for swalling.
My mother continues weak and losing weight because she eats no much.
She had a blood transfusion 4 months ago beacuse of anemia, before continuing with xeloda.
I dont know what blood test will result but it would be a good idea ask the oncologist for a second blood transfusion?Another way to get strong?
Regards and thanks;
CarlosI wish the best for all of you and your family and friends for the next year.
Regards and thanks;
CarlosMarions, Clarem, thanks for the answers.
I don´t know… Oncologist said nothing about it checking the blood test results and we din´t have the details at home.
If Amonia is the problem, what would be the best solution to achieve lower levels?
Regards and thanks again;
CarlosClarem, Lainy and everybody;
After the appointment with the oncologist;
Cat scan; the disease remains the same and the blood test is “normal” for this situation.
So, oncologist decision has been ;
After Christmas, continue Xeloda.
Keep taking forusamide (100mg) and Seguril (20mg).
As you know i feel my mum in the last weeks like a “drunk” person and i guess that is for diuretic pills (according to the prospect taking for a long time it produces confusion,weakeness …)
Oncologist says it’s more important to control the swelling…
What is your opinion?
Regards;
CarlosThanks Lainy.
According to him she feels like a zombie especially at morning. And I notice her confused throughout the day.
Looking at the prospect of aldectone(100mg) and forusemide(20mg) side effects speak about confusing and so on…
It must be difficult put in a balance side effects and swelling…
What is your opinion?
Regards;
CarlosHi everybody;
After several weeks with the pills the swelling has gone down.
But in the last days(few days) she has weakened very quickly despite being in the week off of xeloda. More time in bed, tired face .. she is realizing that something is not right inside her because she wants to do things but…and sometimes begins to cry.
It is the first time since the weeks after surgery 4 years ago that I see her so weak.
We have oncologist appointment next Tuesday for the quarterly CAT scan results after 4 cycles of xeloda.
thanks for your company;
CarlosMarions, PCL1029, thanks.
I´m very confused regarding swelling.
She compalins particulary of the legs and feet but i think abdomen is a little bit more swollen than normal.
And it depends on the days…
There are days when the bones of the knees and ankles can be seen and other days they are not.
I think to my mother swollen legs is affecting more psychologically than the disease itself.
Regards;
CarlosThanks for the support PCL1029.
What is the maximum allowed of aldactone and forusemide per day?
what is DVT? I just ask may mom and she feels some pain in the shin and instep.
I have to say that after being in bed for four hours with feet under pillows after lunch she has less swollen.
Regards;
Carlos
