    I'm so sorry about Ken. Can he take antiinflammatories? Ibuprofen is the BOMB when you add it to Vicodin... As far as Sara, if she has carcinoma in situ, then she can probably have a LEEP, and then have babies. Even a cone biopsy or trachelectomy (removal of the cervix) will allow her to...

    Deb, My suggestion for Sara is to get a calendar and write all her appointments down. Take a notebook to every appointment and write everything down. Between appointments write down all her questions so she can remember them when it is time, and forget them when it is not. She also needs to...

    I've been so busy LIVING, I haven't been here to check how everyone is! Finished radiation and chemo, healing up pretty well AND... today was my first day back to work! It went well, I'm so glad to be getting back to "normal". I'll have checkups every 3 months, with paps, for the first year...

    Finished Chemotherapy today. Last radiation is tomorrow. Hallelujah! I have one internal high dose radiation treatment up in Seattle on the 13th, and then I AM DONE!! All the frequent checks will no doubt keep me nervous this first year or so, but I am so glad to be done with this rough...

    Thank you all for allowing my brief pity party. Better today, getting a port put in for hydration~ can't seem to drink enough. Also some friends are going to be in the area from southern Ca. They'll try to stop by also- that'd make my month just about! Sad about the bird, but in the grand...

    Lost a bird today, who knows what to. She'd been acting broody off and on, but getting up to eat and drink and poop, so, who knows. Feeling down today anyway today. one more bummer to chalk up to the day I guess. Erin

    I can't tolerate compazine or phenergan in IV form, so they won't let me have it by mouth. My pity complaint is nothing sits right in my stomach! I just want a little food but it feels like rocks. I'm so glad you're all here for me! I love you all.

    Friday night went to the ER for fluids and anti-nausea meds. can't stop the nausea, and my low back hurts like crazy. Saturday sent me into a tailspin, barely made it through DD's family Bday party from the awful smell of bbq. They put me on steroids, different anti-nausea, More anti-nausea...

    @ Luna- I think you pushing the sun this way, and me pushing the rain that way might be the cause of all those tornadoes. Guess we should stop for a bit and see if it evens out @ jj- OUCH, feel better soon! @ Bt03: Thanks for joining us, hope we can be there for you! Trust me, if you...

    Got my marching orders today! Radiation simulation on Monday. Therapy to follow 7-10 days later (goal is 23rd). Dr. thinks about 27 rad treatments total. Chemo weekly- Cisplatin - will start that on the 25th. Wednesdays are the only day DH has off consistently, so we scheduled chemo for...

    Quote: Thank you, Luna! I like to think I have a good attitude By the way, it was the steroid that makes you jumpy. That junk tears me up. Looking forward to it! Carboplatin and Cisplatin are different, but not by too much. Thanks for the junk food pass, by the way I'm sure I should...
