Her post was kind of a jumblecatcon49 said:This is a very good support
This is a very good support site. Sorry I missed your post.
I did get that she was on Tarceva & having trouble eating but that wasn't much to go on. An impatient patient

It's a great support group!
Kathy,
Sorry if you got the wrong impression. Guess I didn't even see your post, but I'm sure if you post something again, you'll get responses.
Please let us know how we can help you, okay?
I don't or didn't have cancer, but my husband did. He passed away just 1 year ago last thursday (25th). I came on this site and have found so much support and even though none of us has ever met, we've become friends cause we understand.
Please post again!!! Carole0 -

Kinda new to thislekkerone said:Kathy
Perhaps when you posted you were upset as what you typed what very difficult to figure out.
I hope you will give us a second chance so that we may support you. Diane
Sometimes it's not that easy to talk about, besides I'm waiting to see if the tarceva is working or not . Maybe a little scared. Heck I don't know what I'm doing anymore.0 -

Is this the basics of what you posted:
Stage 4 lung with mets to skull, neck, collar bone and pelvic
12 treatments of Carboplatin & Alimta
Started Tarceva in March - no appetite and diarrhea, nausea?
The stomach trouble that comes with the Tarceva territory can be controlled with Immodium, unless your doc says no. Nausea, too - there are a lot of anti-nausea drugs out there. Again, clear it with your doc first.
I hope any pain you are having from mets is under control?
My best to you, stayingcalm
*as far as spelling goes, remind me to tell you sometime how long it takes me to type a sensible message since my recent tumor removal =(0 -

Sorry you are having such a difficult time right now but please don't go away, sometimes we may be a little slow in responding but we care and will help you in anyway we can. I can't offer much advice because my treatment is different than yours as are my cancers but I will always be here to comfort and support you.
Stay strong,

Thank you , I was just having a bad day. It's been a year . That's the long term they gave me if I took chemo six months without . When I got so sick I started thinking the worst. I feel better today. I was being a wimp. I wish the best to us all.0 -

I have a trip someone plan for me to new Orleans , I sure want to go. By amtrak for the quarter festival. Got a cabin on the train , rooms at parc saint charles . But I would like to feel better than I feel right now or i may not get to go. Just a little blue I guess. Hey thanks everyone for letting me vent a little .

We all understand what having a bad day is like and we usually vent here because we know that everyone else understands. I'm 18 months post treatment and I still have my bad days but most of them are good so I can usually handle the few bad ones that pop up.
Please check with your doctors to see if there is anything they can do to alleviate your side effects as I think you really need this trip to New Orleans. I envy you, I've never been there but my niece has several times for different celebrations and she loves it there.
Keep us posted so we will know how you are doing.
Stay well and stay strong,

I was reading through the posts and wanted you to know that I have only gotten on this site a few times since last week and I look forward to having time to visit with people that are so supportive. I find it a bit time consuming to look through so many posts that I want to respond to, and that is why I have to set aside time to visit here. I am sorry I didn't get on this last weekend to answer your post also. I would have told you, that you have found a good place to receive caring and support.
I try to make light of all of the feelings and worry that goes with the cancer issues, so others around me don't worry too. But then there is no one close I can vent to without making them feel bad that they can't do something to fix it. This site and the people that are a part of it have already help me a lot. I lost a husband to melanoma back in 92. By the time they found it, it was in his brain and everywhere else. He lived 9 months after the surgery and DX and he was such a trouper while keeping his sense of humor. He is my Hero, and I struggle trying to be more like him with my cancers and surgery's.
I guess what I am getting to is, we need to have somewhere to go to visit, rant and support others and this is a good place to do that.
Take care Kathy, & to all of you! I will try to come back often. Thank you0 -

I do understand your having a bad day, I think we all do. Its important to have support and understanding. I am a colon/rectal survivor of 25 yrs and now have SCLC. I think we all understand. Please continue to come here and converse with others facing the same thing you are. Draw from the strength here.
