    So glad to see the post. I wish I had a magic wand to make it all go away for all of us.
    When we were Kids, a mothers kiss could make any auwie go away. That was magic.
    Now we have tenacity, and a strong will to live and the friends and family on the board to keep us going.
    Hang in there Clift. One day, one minute, one hour at a time.

    Very happy to see that handsome face again. So sorry the chemo is kickin' your butt. Guess you'll just have to kick back. Stay in touch when you can. We all love you.

    Luv,

    Glad to see you posting in person
    Hi Clift,

    Sorry you've had such a time with the irinotecan. That stuff kicked me pretty hard too. No nausea meds helped me and I actually went out and got my medical mj card cause I was desperate. Used it once, then had a scan & my tumors had advanced, so off the irinotecan I went anyhow. I was always kind of paranoid about the mj, so I didn't ever use it again after I stopped the Folfiri/irinotecan. I had actually been on it quite awhile- it really did shrink my tumors for awhile. I hope and pray that your nausea has been worth it & that your tumors will show up having shrunken when you get the CT done.
    Blessings to you- you definitely deserve some blessings after all you've been through this past year or so.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    Sorry to hear
    Oh so sorry to hear that you are so sick. I too am on folfiri and I get pretty sick for about three days, they give me a shot of atropine so I don't get the cramping and runs. But I too get constipated, I started taking a stool softener on Tuesday and Wednesday before my Thursday treatment and it seems to help. Hope you feel better!
    Aloha

    Buzz:
    Love right back at you. My George is on the CPT-11 part of Folfori and I agree, it is much harder than the Folfox which he seemed to breeze thru. The odd part is it works, so just one day at a time.

    Take care - Tina

    Oh, Buzzz.....
    So good to see your face again:) I don't have much time now for the boards, but several times a day I click in to see if there is a post from you. You made my Monday! Sorry you are having such a time, but don't let go of that rope.

    Hugs...
