    I am so sorry I can't even

    I am so sorry I can't even find words for it. Please try to at least have some liquid form of nurishment like Ensure that's high in calories. Can you swallow liquids?

    Oh my this is horrible! So Sorry hon~

    You cannot swallow, even saliva? Or with difficulty?

    I would get to an ER as soon as possible.
    You are probably seriously dehydrated my dear.
    Let us know what happens ok?
    Sending you healing hugs ...
    Warmly, Ja

    No advice unfortunately, but

    No advice unfortunately, but I feel for you ... So sorry to hear you struggling.... Please remind yourself that these drugs keep your cancer under control according to recent scans. Maybe docs can keep searching for other medicine against side effects? 

    This f...g drug you are on makes you very uncomfortable, but it is battling with cancer and winning...

    hugs!

    A neph. is enough already. We can do without these extra perks.

    Call the docs

    Footstomper;

    What have your doctors been saying about your difficult situation?  Are they brushing you off?  Or, giving advice that isn't working?  My advice would be to call the medical people.  You have to judge whether it's time for the ER .... but give the ER some consideration.  Please.

    I had a bout of swallowing problems after radiation and didn't appreciate the sorts of problems that could come out of that.  It took a lot to get hydrated (including several trips to the clinic for IV's) and to get back to eating normally.  And my situation wasn't as serious as yours.

    Drug vacation

    Stomps, sounds like you need a couple weeks off from your drugs. Leave your doc a message or call first thing in am. 10 to 1 they have you go to the office or ER.

    Im just here to say I care

    Im just here mostly to show support and tell you I care because I don't have the experience to give an advice on the subject but it seems clear to me that you should be careful about being dehydrated and you know, being as we both are hypocondriacs... it's high time to contact your doctors or go to the ER Stomps!

    Please take Fox's advice in consideration as well.  Maybe it's time to take a break from the meds.

    Please get better.   We would all love to hear that!

  • Footstomper, I don't have any

    Footstomper, I don't have any advice, but I hope you feel better.  Sounds like Foxy and other gave some solid advice. Keep stomping!

    Time

    time to call your doctor if you haven't already; Fox is right about the drug vacay. Not eating for 3 weeks and constant diarrhea, if from the med, is worrisome and with the new stuff coming out, it may be the help you need.

    so sorry that you're going through this misery.

    please let us know of any updates
