Thanks so much to all that responded to my post regarding my friend Mark and his bad response to the chemo. The meds he had were not strong enough so they gave him composene (sp), both an IV and pills to take home. That seemed to do the trick. In case that stops working I have several suggesions from everyone on what to do and I am so thankful you all were there to help out.

It seems there is one hurdle after another with this disease so I somehow have to ride each wave without panic. Having this board makes all the difference in the world. I wish Mark could come out to meet with everyone for the palooza. Hopefully the next one. Any chance of ya'll coming to Los Angeles? Beautiful weather, amazing beaches and tons to do. Thanks again.
Kathryn

    Hi Kathryn,

    I'm glad that Mark is feeling better after a bad bout of chemo. This board is a great help to me too. I'm going on my third treatment Wednesday and I don't know what I would do without all the great people here. Please don't hesitate to ask questions of us. We love to help.

    LA sounds great for the next year Palooza! I will be done with treatments and maybe have more money. Hopefully someone will pick this up and "run with it". LOL

    Take care and still sending good vibes to Mark and you.

    Hi Kathryn - I am so glad Mark is doing better. Keep being agressive on his behalf. Nasty as colorectal chemo is, from talking to two friends with breast cancer (and also my oncologist), the CRC regimen is often a lot easier on the patient - not, by any means to say "easy". So give Mark my best. You are a fantastic friend and I am sure he appreciates your efforts more than he can say (feeling crappy, it is sometimes hard to sound grateful! - spoken by one who herself ocassionally had trouble sounding grateful during the height of chemo!)

    Hugs,
    Betsy

    So glad to hear Mark is feeling better.
    Having had BOTH chemo regiments (the 2-for-1 plan...hehehe) I MUST agree with Betsy...but also they are ALL YUCKY (ain't that the point, to get all those little buggers???).
