    Hang in there Byron! Let your body heal and then continue with the chemo.

    Tom,

    Gas-x really helps with the gas and bloating. Always helped me.

    Thank you everyone for your continued support. It is very easy to concede to negative thought in this long fight. I try to be a realist with a positive outlook.

    I have scans again in two weeks, another big determinant in what is going to come next.

    Jim, I am being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

    Keep the Fight!

    Michael,

    I am currently facing similar circumstances. Your mother can try TPN with a PICC line, though there is a risk for infection. How about options for a feeding tube?

    Good luck…

    Hello everyone,

    I am still in the hospital and started receiving TPN treatments today. My nausea and vomiting have improved since it has been 10 days since my last chemo treatment. I will be having another treatment Friday so I may be on TPN indefinately.

    I have lost a significant amount of weight over two months, about 25 lbs. I have tried the marinol with mixed results. Zofran sublingual seems to work for me.

    I know I have to put back on weight in order to effectively fight this.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words. I have talked to fellow cancer survivors and they all say you have to be proactive in your treatment and be the ‘Captain’ in your fight.

    We’re all on this together…

    Trevor
