    Tom- I wish Ben (and you) all the luck at MD Anderson. Maybe you will see Dr. Javle, he is awesome!! Please report back to us! I hope everything is working and the tumors are going down.
    I’m trying less to worry. And have started taking a little Ativan when I start feeling sad / worried.

    Pam-
    You know Kim, she loves to help. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind talking to you about it. Dr. Javle said he wants to get the most mileage out of the current chemo I’m on before moving on to something new. I’m ok with that, as long as the chemo is working.
    I don’t think the Y90 will effect how she will feel. I know my friend that had it, felt down a few days but other than that she was back to her normal self very soon. But she did have problems the second time she had it. She had some bleeding they had a hard time controlling. She had to stay over night in the hospital because of it.
    I was going to ask you–I know she has been having problems with her counts, have you asked the doctor about a neulasta shot? I really think these are helping my counts stay good.

    Pam-
    I hope to have Y90 soon too!
    I have a friend (Liza) who has liver cancer. She has had it 2 times. First time everything went good, second time she had lots of problems. She had bleeding that they had a hard time getting control of. Plus the second time didn’t really help her. The first time did!

    Thanks for the info!!

    Are you having a face rash due to Traceva? I do, and I can’t get it under control!

    No way!
    In fact, when I seen Dr. Javle, the first thing he said to me is that he “loves seeing my face rash”. I think its from Tarceva.

    Lainy- Feel free to send me your list. I will gladly worry over it for you. :)

    Pam- I do have some Ativan. 1 mg. Dr. Javle gave to to me to help with sleep. It didn’t really work, so now I take Ambien. So I might try to take one next time I start to worry too much.
