    Well here I am again, waking up from a late evening nap. Just get so tired, but I have no doubt I will sleep the night away. Yep, had the finger tingles all day again. It felt so good to do the dishes earlier. And the gloves have got to help, I wore them almost the whole day. I can't even think about ice cream yet. It's funny, that feeling isn't there until something cool touches it. Okay, it's bedtime, now that naptime is over :)

    Aww Ron, thank's so much for
    Aww Ron, thank's so much for your words. They are all so true. The treatment is tough and I sure have my days when I'm knocked down physically or mentally or both. But I do crwl back up and I'm always coming here to this board for a new attitude and idea. I love all of my friends and commrades on here and wish we could all meet in person to share the cyber hugs we send so often.

    You take care with all that flooding on your side of the world. And I'm sending you some of my...

    plh from Gail

    Thanks Gail but I think the floods are becoming sentient
    It is as if the state is under attack.It has been pouring rain again in the south-east ,some of the flooded areas have had another six inches of rain in the last 48 hrs resulting in some serious flash flooding. The flood has peaked in Rockhampton but they are expecting at least a week before the level starts to subside. With the advent of small commuter cars there is a real risk of losing a car in some of the potholes that appearing in roads as the water recedes. I'm glad I have a 4x4 but I have enough sense not to go out unless it is absolutely essential. The current heavy rain (up to 4 inches a day) is expected to continue till next wednesday. Might be time to build an ark. Hugs Ron.

    You will get through this
    Gail,

    Sorry the side effects are beatin' up on you right now. You will get through this, and before you know it, you will be done. Just rest,rest,rest and stay positive, sometimes easier said than done. Just remember the pay off at the end when you beat this, is o worth it. Hugs and prayers for you dear.

    Countdown
    That is the positive way to look at things is the countdown. The more chemo you have the more symptoms you will feel and they will last longer but hopefully you can tolerate it, if not they can reduce it. Isn't that wierd about the throat thing. Always felt like there was something stuck back there. Like the PLH.

    Kim and Pepe
    Kim I hate the thing with the throat, and you know what now? This last one is making my teeth feel funny. Did that happen to you? It feels like they are achey or loose, but they aren't thank goodness. It's still creepy, I'm afraid they are going to fall out :(

    Feel better Pepe :)

    plh to you, Gail

    Thank you Don! I can't wait
    Thank you Don! I can't wait till this chemo is over, and hopefully that will wrap it up for me. (finger's crossed now, and knocking on the floor). It is easier said than done, but with the support I get here, it helps get me up on those down days and inspires me to help other's always.

    plh4gail, and plh to you

    Hello Gail,
    I'm on my 2nd
    Hello Gail,
    I'm on my 2nd round of xelox on thurs and I'm also afraid of the side effects. So far I had issues with oxaplatin and can only tolerate warm water. Luckily I live in the Philippines and it's hot right now so issues with cold weather is nil. I'm have 8 sessions of xelox and there are 7 more to go. LBM is an issue with me with xelox but can be treated with anti diarrhea pills. For my hand and foot syndrome there's none so far except for dry skin and dark fingernails. I just use lots of lotion and dark nail polish. I just pray to God that I will tolerate this symptoms and he will see me thru this journey. Take care and God Bless you!

    I guess all we can do is hang in there the best we can. I'm taking it one day at a time, trying not to look too far ahead, it just worries me. Take it easy and rest, you can only do what you can do.

    Take care, Gail
