MemberThanks Lainy,
We were quite encouraged by this. Hopefully the trend will continue for the next 3 months.

MemberThank you both. We have just come back from a visit with the oncologist and metastases have gone down by a 1/3 in size. Main tumour remains stable. This is good news. He is now half way through the 6 mo of chemo.

MemberHi Gavin,
you mean a balaclava, the thing that criminals wear. I can just see my hubby with one of those. Ha-ha!. He will have to be careful though. I was thinking more the Parisian gentleman with a scarf and beret. Thanks for the advice.

MemberThanks Gavin,
The Macmillan site actually says to cover mouth and throat on cold days….It will be an interesting fall and winter.

MemberThank you everyone for your replies. It has not recurred but the temp outside is much better today. It was 1 C. or 33 F. and he said he felt cold. Also, he had a cup of tea and it went away immediately. We can not reach the onc on weekends. If it happens again, we will go to ER. We wondered if it was like the reaction to cold in his hands from the oxiplatin and as I am writing this and looked up the info they gave us which says” can cause numbness or tingling of the fingers toes or around the mouth”. It recommends protecting himself from exposure to cold so we will be more vigilant from now on.

MemberThank you Lainy. Yes, he does have a stent and I also thought infection but I checked his temperature and it was normal. He is due for a treatment this week so we will ask about this especially if it recurs.
