Hi All -

My Mom has her 2nd Chemo treatment tomorrow (2/1). Just asking for you to keep her in your prayers, as I will be doing the same for all of you.

Thank you - Liz

    Prayers on the way
    Liz,
    I will certainly pray for you mother as soon as I am done typing this reply. Our Heavenly Father in heaven I ask of you this night to be with Liz and her mother as she battles this terrible disease. I ask that you send you angels to surround her and give her the spirit of peace and the spirit of comfort during any hard time in the future. Liz I have some really good prayers for people who are fighting cancer if you would like me to send them to you in CSN Email just let me know I would be more than happy to share them with you. They will help to comfort your mom during her battle with cancer. Just remember with God all things are possible but I think you already know that otherwise you would not be asking for prayers.

    God Bless you both,
    Bobby

    2nd Chemo treatment
    All he best to your mom, Liz. How did she end up doing with the 1st treatment? If I recall, you had said that she did pretty good, was feeling good and after the first day or so was not feeling too much in the way of side affects except for the tingling in the fingers from the Oxy? (or am I mixing this up with someone else's response?).

    Anywho... if my memory is correct and she handled the first treatment well, she will probably do pretty good with the 2nd. Granted, as time goes on and the chemo accumulates in the body, it's usually felt a bit more than the first treatments... but she may be pleasantly surprised that she can handle it all just fine :)

    I find sometimes our imaginations tend to be a lot tougher on us than what we actually experience in reality... so let's hope this is the case for every treatment :D

    Hahahaha!
    How fun! A new costume :) Love the spots!!

    Uh... you might want to try using html coding so that you can make this a hyperlink... makes it easier for readers to click on a link. This way, you are making people have to copy and paste the link... tacky web etiquette ;)

    Yes!
    Sending warmth, love, prayers, and good juju your Mother's way! I don't know what chemo she's doing, but if it's folfox, the main thing she'll have to look out for is the horrible neuropathy. Can't touch anything even remotely cold, and have to drink liquids no cooler than room temperature. I got it as soon as they put that stuff in me, but not everyone experiences it. Only about 95%. I hope that she is in that 5%

    Hugs!

    Thank you - her treatment
    Thank you - her treatment went ok. She did have a reaction, her tounge felt numb and she began to slurr her words, but then was ok. Since yesterday, her fingers have been very tingly and her hands shake. She's a tough lady and will beat this disease.

    Her 2nd treatment was a bit more difficult on her than the 1st.

    Liz......
    There may come a time through this especially if the weather is still chilly or cold that her larynx or even her lips will start to get numb and she will start slurring speech because her nerves are getting cold...Try to find a toboggan or head cover for her that allows her to cover her mouth and let her breath keep her lips and voice box at a warm temp. She may very well feel the cold sensitivity in her lungs as well...Keep her wrapped up as she progresses along with the oxy...unless its hot..and let her tell you if she is hot or cold...I froze sometimes and burned up the next bt for the most part during oxy treatments I stayed cold.
    Also keep very close watch on her neuropathy ...if the fingers don't get to bad most likely all that will leave after a while..the feet may be different. My 3 middle toes are still numb and most likely will stay that way. My fingers were pretty much back to normal after a while and are fine now..(chemo Folfox in 2008 Nov until April 2009)...Fatigue is a large factor...let her nap lounge whatever she feels like doing...she may not have any strength at all for a year or more...Chemo is bad stuff, so allow her to be easy with herself...Love to you both..Buzz
