I guess I have CRAFT too. Between chemo and bipolar disorder and all the involved drugs, my brain and senses are not very sharp. I tried looking through a few pages, and all the medical terms and long words….I just hear the jeopardy song in my head. Sonetimes I hear Charlie Brown’s teacher talking.
I did look around, but I just get confused honestly. My ability to concentrate has been definitely affected.
For those of you who, like me, are too tough for gem/cis to work, what are the other chemo options?
Glad to see you back around Lainy!! and yes, Attitude is the key.Everything seems to be fine now except my appetite is still lacking. The radiologist said to skip my last infuson because its too close to my PET scan on Tuesday. I’m ok with that too.
I had 2 biopsies that came back showing nothing. The 3rd biopsy was c/t guided and thats when they found cancer. It took another 6 weeks to get a cc diagnosis. Originially it was adrenocarcinoma of unknown primary. A meeting of the experts determined it was cc.
I just finished cycle 3 of 4 this week of gem/cis. I haven’t had many side effects at all. Very rarely I have a bit of nausea, gas, heartburn and a funny taste/smell in my mouth.
Im very interested in this topic as well.I have a 13 cm tumor, and they can’t operate because of the size of this thing. However, otger than a few bouts of adominal pain after wating a late night drunken meal, I had zero symptoms. They found it because my gut told me to fight for a ct scan. If id have went home instead that day, I probably wouldnt know anything is wrong to this day.
Hi Mac, Great name!!! My 7 year old is Mac too. I think you have the right attitude towards slaying this beast. Having a positive attitude and outlook will put those close to you at ease, and everyone will be pulling on the same end of the rope in no time.
Me and my family and friends have chosen to only look to tomorrow, and to spend zero brain time worrying and stressing over yesterday and things we cannot control. Be it family, friends, co workers, doctors…anyone who crosses your path, Make your intentions known. We got this.
I don’t like that a good many people are uncomfortable when I run into them in public. I know that its hard for them too, but I just wish it wasn’t.
The Kids went out today and bought 3 armloads of supplies for the SPCA and dropped it off. They made a donation to the Salvation Army as well. I didn’t care where they chose, just that they did.
I was actually thinking of going back to work last week!! I work 12 hr shift work at Michelin here in Waterville. I guess that’s out of the question. I think my diet is solid, so more rest it is, and walking. No more hi impact exercise for a bit.
