i'm back and once again seeking help, advice. First to MLN, I hope your husband Don is doing okay (or as okay as is humanly possible) and that your October doctor's visit has good results. DH, Johnny...
Yes, thanks MLN and to you too Peter. Yes, the tumor is right behind his eye in the soft tissue. He had the last of 20 radiation treatments to the eye bone on Thursday. But the radiologist said it is...
With no replies, I guess DH's turn of events is as rare as I take it the doctors seem to feel it is. I want to offer just one word of advice for those of you just starting this nightmare journey. DH...
No, we live in Mississippi now but in 2003 we lived in Arkansas and went to Atlanta just for treatment. We were fortunate enough to get to stay at Hope Lodge for the 7 weeks of treatment....
Thank you, moderator, for posting. I really do appreciate your input....
It's been a while since I've posted. I wish I'd kept up and just didn't come back when things seem to be going down so fast. DH asked that I just see if perhaps someone has had his problem and what...
I am writing to myself so as not to lose me again! I hope if you have any thoughts/opinions/experience with Zometa you will pass them along. If it's been mentioned along the way, I missed it. Well,...
yes, thanks....
A friend posted info in my DH's behalf months ago and I'm afraid I wasn't diligent about following through. And now I cannot find that post! I'm back and will check daily for insights and help from...
Preacherman12, I appreciate your opinions regarding provenge and in reading back through everyones posts, I'm reminded of Todd saying how well he's doing because of it. I'm trying to think back to...
Sorry to be so lax in posting. And I appreciate the concerns posted that I have not seen since I was last here..on 7/31. When I posted last that the doctor wanted to see him ASAP it was because his...
Hello, I've been checking back but failing to sign in and so I've missed recent posts. (Sorry!) But now I realize 'the error of my ways' and am with the program! DH (Johnny) had his last radiation...
Allen, you're right. I did misread the link. When it says after surgery or radiation, I failed to realize that his initial seeds/radiation is what was referred to. So, yes, perhaps he is a good...
Reading back, I see several of you are going to be on 'the' cruise. We look forward to meeting all of you, too! I've also meant to address 'Grizzy'n me' posting. Please let us know your lastest...
I hear you. I read your post to him and he asked me to clarify some things that he thinks I may have been misleading about. He pointed out that she specifically stated that her searches were...
GM,Yes, both links were very interesting. I just got through reading the one on Provenge (finally..it was too big for my screen and I finally got Johnny to change the zoom setting - I'm clueless - so...
Yes, I agree that probably the best care to be had is in Houston. But he (me, too) are not quite ready to give up on our doctor here. You're right about this not being her field of expertise...each...
GM everyone, I'm taking notes on all the informative posts regarding treatments and med names so that I can ask questions of Dr. Wall next time we see her. I will definitely ask her to expand on her...
I'm the friend and posting for the first time. I appreciate water guy getting us started and also the responses so far. Just a brief update. DH had 4th (of 15) radiation treatments today. He actually...
