    dr kris,

    my husband had the hepatic arterial infusion pump and he really had no problems with it. it did eliminate the “satelllite” tumors he had. God bless you. I hope you are doing well..

    hi! everyone
    again thank you so much for all of your help and suggestions.i just gave my husband dennie some maalox to see if that helps.i’m also going to try the brioche.lainy,guess what? i do exactly the same thing as you do sometimes.when i’m in my car coming from the store or something i sit in the driveway a minute and just scream or sometimes scream while i’m driving.you’re right.it does help.i am a nurse but again when this happens in your own home everything goes out the window.i have researched and read everything i possibly could but have found that i need to individualize everything to see what works for dennie.i’m afraid that dennie now may have taken too many laxatives.nothing has been formed if you know what i mean.it’s alot of water.sorry to be talking about this but this seems to be his major discomfort.i’m trying fiber,believe me everything.it seems to have gotten alittle worse over the past 2 weeks.to be honest i’m concerned he may have a bit of an obstruction high up in the colon or progression of his disease.his liver function studies are usually elevated after chemo then come back to normal.they are slightly elelvated now but just had chemo on the 12th of february.boy,the scary part of all of this is that on paper you wouldn’t believe he had cancer.he hasn’t needed a pain pill for the past 2 days.he gets really upset and uncomfortable if he doesn’t move his bowels for 1 day.when he doesn’t he gets very anxious and starts taking laxatives.maybe–i hope i’m wrong about the progression of the disease–he just needs to increase walking.we live in western pa and it’s very cold and snowy but maybe i can go for walks with him at the mall or something.from morning till night everyday he’s fixated on his bowels.i pray to God and st.peregrine every night to give me strength,patience but i have to be honest some days it’s real hard……..carol

    dear darla,pam,and marion

    i cannot begin to thank you enough for the lovely words of support and help already. i will do some searches on this site for my questions and will try the laxative/stool softener suggestions you mentioned.i have also emailed our physician to discuss the ct of the abdomen.i feel like i have a connection with everyone on these message boards.our family and friends are trying to be really supportive however until you are living this in your own home it’s hard for everyone to fully understand what it’s like.thank you from the bottom of my heart.i feel so fortunate this site is available for help and support…………carol
