And Sweet Dreams, with visions of wide receivers ( there are a few... ) dancing in your head.

Thanks much for the update. In all the busy-ness, SO nice to stop in and have good news plus a smile from ITL herself. Made me think once again about how far-reaching and kind of magical this forum is, with PH there to be another sistah, everyone here a backup. Who knew, the first time anyone was logging in here, esp ITL and PH, the results of that single action, most of us I think driven by some kind of desperation to start Googling for HELP. Makes me smile.

Praying every day, Healing and Peace to you and yours, as ever.
 
Into the Light, I can not say this enough, please take it easy, even when you first get out. Build up your immunity before exerting yourself. Your body will still be recovering when you leave that place. My husband made that mistake of thinking he could do everything he did before he went in. Now I warn everyone experiencing cancer.

I hope your numbers start increasing steadily but quickly. Glad you are still in good humor!
 
Well, it seems the last big blast of chemo pretty much ate up Debs digestive tract. She has sores all down her esophagus and is unable to keep anything down. Last night was pretty rough and uncomfortable, so they have put her on IV nutrition as of today. She is pretty miserable. One of the side effects of this treatment is significant weight loss because the patient just can't eat. Deb didn't go into it underweight, but she sure didn't have extra either. My fear is she will lose more than she has to spare. I really hope she doesn't come home all skin and bone. It will not help her energy levels.

So hard not to worry about her. So hard to watch her be so miserable. So very thankful to be here to support her. Sigh...just wish I could make it better.
 
Oh Dear Deb, and PH, this is such a difficult step! Please try not to worry (as much as is possible) about the weight, it will come back on. I do hope and pray especially for your counts Deb and quick relief and healing from pain and discomfort and the lesions.

I too wish I could switch spots with you. :( Hang in there and know we are all with you every minute in spirit, and love.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Dear Deb))))))))))))))))))))))))) , and ((((((((((((((((((((((PH))))))))))))))))))))))))))), too, xoxoxox.

Oh the poor honey! That doesn't sound like any fun at all. It sounds really rough and painful. No wonder she is feeling miserable.

I would imagine it is quite hard to watch PH. Make sure that you look after yourself as well.

Thanks for the updates.
