Candle is lit my friend.

Froggie,

I am glad that it turned out there is nothing wrong with your heart. Chemo drugs are so hard on the body. Is there anyone available to help you on those days you are so weak? My oncologist had me meet with a dietitian, since I start chemo next week and drop weight so fast. I have some great recipes for some high calorie shakes that can be prepared in advance and kept in the freezer.

If you're interested, I would be glad to PC them to you. Froggie, you are doing amazingly well. Funny to think that we can be healthy even though we have cancer? Guess any more they look at it like a chronic illness, like diabetes or kidney disease and not necessarily something fatal.

Just out of curiosity are they tracking your CEA count?

Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Deb

Froggie you are in my thoughts and prayers often. I'm so happy to hear the good news for you. Please do take care of yourself. Deb has a great idea to maybe prepare things ahead that you can just pull out of the freezer on the days you don't have energy to spare. Many hugs to you (((((((froggie)))))))

 

[You can get through it]

Hi Froggie

Try to plan ahead for your next treatment and have plenty of snacks handy like things you can put into a microwave, even those things you would normally treat as not being good for you. I survived on kids sweets and anything that would keep the weight on because as you know I lost nearly 6 stone and was despirate at times. It is good to have a healthy diet but more important to keep the weight on so you can stay independant and continue to enjoy a good quality of life.

I wish you well as always,

Steve

Hang in there eh? ((( MY FROGGIE )))

Thank you so much everyone for your encouragement. Deb, what is CEA ? I would guess yes, as they even ask for urine samples, so I'm left with no secrets for them. And yes, I have "good" food in my freezer ready to be microwaved or in the oven for a little while, and when I can't ... I leave my dirty dishes for the next day when I feel stronger. During my chemo week, the only thing that seems to go down OK is pasta! Getting used to my new regime and finding what works and what doesn't.

Hey Froggie,

I found this little fellow deep in the jungles of the Congo. I tried to google him, and it seems that he is quite a poisonous little fellow! So beautiful, but deadly! Isn't nature just incredible?

((((((hugs))))) and strongs to you! :tup:
