Dear Melissa
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss of your mum. I enjoyed Wendy’s posts – she was a very kind woman & her warmth & compassion shone through.
My sincere sympathy & very best wishes to you & your family.

Jeff, I’m so sorry to hear about your brother, too. You’ve got so much on your plate at the moment & I’m sending all my best wishes.
How’s Marc today?

I’m so sorry to hear this, Hans – Kris is a true inspiration & she is in all our hearts. So are you.
With love to you both
JuliaThank you for answering my question so clearly, Bill. I’m very glad you have a better quality of life – long, long may you continue to do so.
“Listen to you body, it’s talking to you” is a wonderful expression!!
Take care & hope to “talk” to you soon.

Hello, Munchkin & welcome to this wonderful, wonderful family. I’m in London & my sister was diagnosed at Kings; she’s currently undergoing treatment (Gem/Cis, like you) at Guy’s. I have no personal knowledge of the Royal Marsden, except that it does have a wonderful reputation for cancer treatments. Please let us know how you get on.
My sister has had rough times on chemo but, overall, her results are reassuring. There’s no sign of the tumour increasing & the tumour markers are coming down.
I talked to Pauline in London, recently & she’s done LOTS of research on UK options. You could try a “user list” search for her. She’s very kind & very knowledgeable.
I know there are other UK members here & I’m sure one will come on soon to add more info.
My very best wishes
JuliaHello, Amr!! Welcome back!! My sister seems to be controlling the constipation with Senna & a softener. I hope you find something which works for your dad – it certainly seems to be an extremely painful symptom.
My sister’s on Gem/Cis, too & seems to be tolerating it pretty well. There have been good results with reductions in her tumour markers. I send my very, very best wishes for good results for your dad.

Hello, Sharon!! The others have given you lots of advice already & there’s not much I can add at the moment, but I wanted to join them in welcoming you to the BEST bunch of people you could hope to find for help & support.
Please let us know how you & your husband get on with the treatment for his swelling. My sister’s on Gem/Cis & she gets very frustrated because of shortness of memory & constant sweating, at various stages in the chemo cycle.
