hello my friends, today i had my visit with my oncologist and my tumors have shrunk to half the size they were. he said we have 4 more of the adrianmicintoxin and then surgery porbably in August. i am finally at the half way mark, although not looking forward to the next two months he gave me 3 prescriptions of nausea meds to fill and said these next 4 will not be as easy as the tax or carbo. i guess i can afford to lose some weight anyway. ahhahah i hope all is well with you and god bless.

    I'm glad to hear your tumours are shrinking, that is truly good news!! Maybe the rest won't be too bad, it effects everyone different. We are going to do something interesting at our cancer clinic. We are going to have a type of "ice glove" as an option for people to prevent neuropathy. Nothing yet for the feet though. We haven't got them in yet, but it will be interesting to see them. Good luck to you and remember.......no metoclopramide for nausea!!
    Tell them to give you something better :)

    hugs
