    Jill,
    Thank you for your ideas. I have been reading about allergies to salicylic acid which could be a trigger for me since I love grapefruits, tomatoes, coffee and tons of fresh veggies and fruits which are all high in salicylic acid. I also read it can be an autoimmune disorder. I love my bread and pasta so I should probably try eliminating the wheat and see what happens….I’m just so miserable and itchy. Marion and Percy have given me ideas as well. I know hives wont kill me but they sure are annoying.

    Welcome,
    I am a stage IV survivor of 2.5 years. I have had two liver resections, many types of chemo and several rounds of steriotactic radiation. The steriotactic radiation has been successful in killing four tumors. If you would like to talk I can be reached at 330-903-6868.

    Welcome home my sweet friend. The doctors had to increase my Lasix after surgery because I had so much swelling in my legs and mid section. You are doing all the right things….you are one amazing Mom…..the relationship between you and Lauren is so beautiful.
    Love ya

    Update on my hives. They are still active and itchy. I have been on every combination of antihistamines possible, Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra,Benedryl, doxypin with no relief. If I am not better by tomorrow I will start on steroids again which I hate. I have had 4 medral doses of prednisone in 8 weeks and have gained 12 pounds. I’ve tried oatmeal baths, baking soda for itching, etc…..the itching is making me crazy! Thank you for all your suggestions..keep them coming.
    Hugs

    Hi Aticon,
    You and your Mom have had a lot thrown at you in three weeks. My oncologist, at The Cleveland Clinic, also consulted with Dr. Javle at MD Anderson. Tiffany from this group sees Dr. Javle and she said he is wonderful.
    Sending prayers

    Hi Pat
