I think this could make any cancer patient or caregiver smile...
Last Saturday, she asked me to bring her a Chicago-style hot dog and a slice of New York pizza. She got the hot dog on Monday and the pizza today, and ate them both with great joy.
I'm a vegetarian, but I told her that the happiest I've been in months was to purchase, and watch her eat, a hot dog and pepperoni pizza.
Yeah!!!! Please tell your loved ones in the middle of treatment that better days are ahead, and they're filled with junk food and joy. : )

Sorry you're not getting the support you could use. I feel that way some days too.
I think it's easier for me as a kid of a cancer patient because I live by my mom. I'm in the trenches with her. It's hard to be a supportive kid from a long distance. You need to see the day-to-day struggle to understand what a patient needs. You know they love you, and that's what matters.
I'm not a crier, and now I cry at the diaper and life insurance commercials (the ones where the kids say, "My grandma is my BEST FRIEND!!!!"). I'm such a tough broad...
Take care of you, and smile every day. I'm so happy you are in a stable place with no signs of re-occurence. Bless you.0 -

Hi Butterfly
I believe that would make my wife happy too if she could see me eat like that. I have Jaw problems a side effect of all the treatment and I am not hungry all that much. I am a almost a Vegetarian again I do eat a little fish and chicken sometimes but it is like your mother it is only because I need to eat something.
I love you post thanks for sharing the story about your Mom

You'll get there. You know what your body needs and what it can do. I just said a prayer for you to move beyond the treatment side effects and to be able to eat whatever your heart desires.
The pizza was her last meal. I was never so happy to see someone eat a big greasy piece of pizza. : )0
