Welcome new member redheadskier (Lisa) - posting for her husband Frank (G9, mets)

Hi Lisa, adding my welcome here even though we "know" each other from somewhere else :) Lots of helpful and experienced people on this board... I'll add my best wishes to you and Frank.

Allen,

Surprisingly, our local medonc climbed right on board when we saw him last Friday. Think it was the third
rise in PSA that helped the cause. So, just when I think I know something, things change!

Lisa

Barb and all,
Got a call this morning postponing infusion until tomorrow at 10am. They sure
know how to make us suffer! Will keep everyone posted. Thanks for all the
good thoughts.

Lisa

Lisa..sending you and Frank positive thoughts and wishing you all the best. Keep us posted!

Hello we are a national research firm based out of Toronto On. We are inviting males who have received treatment for prostate cancer in Canada and are between the ages of 45-75 to take part in a one time paid confidential phone interview at a later date and time relating to men's health issues and side effects. You will be paid $100 for a one- time 60 minute conversation. Please private message me if you are interested.

Hello Mr Research. Two things: first, our rules require that you obtain permission from the owner/administrator before such requests can be posted, and second, this forum doesn't offer private messaging. Currently there is no way for members to respond to your invitation. When you have gotten permission from Peter (our administrator) I can show you how to set up your logon so people can reach you.

Gunnar,
The infusion went surprisingly well today. Just arrived home an hour or so ago. The anticipation was definitely
worse that the event...isn't that often the case? Thanks for your well wishes.

And to everyone else, thanks also. Frank does find comfort in your posts.

Lisa

Glad to hear all went well. John just had surgery this morning to have a port installed. Still waiting for him to wake up. Hopefully it will make the weekly treatments easier.

Glad to hear that Frank is doing so well and that John came through his surgery.

Note to WResearch1:

Please contact our administrator before you make requests for participation in your survey.

Yep, Saturday will probably be the crash day. That's why I want hime to enjoy it while lasts!

Lisa

Your timing should be good. Crash on Saturday, recovering by Monday and/or Tuesday and feeling much better by Christmas. Hopefully, the taste/smell will hold up through the holidays. If not, beer and fish were 2 things that still had some taste for me when everything else didn't work.
