Re: not good news

Pam,

You are so often on my mind and in my prayers. I am sorry you got that news. You are a WARRIOR! This will be the magic combo. Kick this cancer's rear back into NED land.

I am here cheering you on!!

Love,
Maureen

Re: not good news

Pam,
I can only imagine the fear, frustration and all the other emotions you are dealing with right now. My heart goes out to you. I really think that adding chemo into the mix might be the magic bullet to knock those markers back down. Just know that I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a good response. Sending you a really big hug, & wishing I could do so much more.

Re: not good news

Hi Pam,

I am sorry to hear your news but I think I can relate a bit. I just spent a few weeks feeling really down and depressed about the failure of TDM1. It is such a loss when a treatment begins to fail or fails all together. We are pushed off of the ledge and on to the unknown... again and again. It seems like we are either trending in the right direction or the wrong direction, over and over again... but it never gets any easier.

I hope that you find Xeloda to be easier for you this time and I am going to take your tip on the hand and foot stuff you mention. I just started Doxil on Friday and I understand I may need all the help I can get with HF.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Hope, Peace, Carolyn

Re: not good news

Pam, I hope all goes well with you with xeloda in the mix. I also had terrible hands while I was on that with Tykerb. You really have to take every precaution so you don't get it or keep it to a minimal. No pressure, rubbing, hot water, harsh soaps. I'm sure you know the ropes. It's so hard to deal with all the side effects, physically and mentally. Stay strong. Sally

Re: not good news

Dear Pam -
I can see that you have a lot of fight left in you, and you are prepared for the Xeloda when it arrives.

Ask your body to 100% accept the drug and all it can do against the cancer. This is also my prayer for you.

Re: not good news

Pam -
I would strongly recommend you buy one of my favorite books and it comes with a CD to overview the book - so you can just pop it into the CD player (even in the car!) but it really helped me understand how we need to give our bodies the right food when taking our drug cocktails. It is a fabulous book - easy to understand with many really great recommendations and also combinations to help those on chemo deal and still give their bodies what they are craving. It really helped me and I am digesting the "core" of the book now reading daily on it. (I've listened to the CD probably 6 times!)

Also sending you some websites and other books - but this one is a good starter I think for you.


Few of my favorite sites with loads of information:

http://www.i-amperfectlyhealthy.com/index.html
http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/index.html
http://www.carcinomacancer.org/cance...ph-factor.html
www.drday.com
http://www.cancerrd.com/
www.livingfoodsinstitute.com
http://cancermonitor.blogspot.com/20...reatments.html
http://www.creativehealthinstitute.com/wheat_grass.htm
http://www.healthquarters.org/
www.gerson.org

Favorite Books: (note I bought all these 1/2 price - or discounted from Amazon.com --- and then friends and family brought them to me in Italy!)

The "Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook" (this is the updated version he has two Cancer Battleplans so make sure you get the SOURCEBOOK) by David Frahm
Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor – by Kris Carr (this will make you laugh and even cry but I love her sassy attitude and her overall approach to fighting cancer moving forward!)
Beating Cancer with Nutrition – by Patrick Quillin PhD, RD, CNS (also comes with a great CD - overview of his book that is great for the car or to get a feel for the book in general)
Eat to Live – by Joel Fuhrman, MD
The Gerson Therapy – The amazing nutritional program for cancer and other illnesses – by Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, DPM
A Cancer Therapy – Results of Fifty Cases – by Max Gerson, MD
(if you haven't heard of Max Gerson - read up on him --- if I ever have cancer try to come back I will go on his diet - even more strict than what I am doing now - he also juices every hour .... its intense but I feel it really does work! Impressive stuff and very interesting! Worth reading!)


HANG IN THERE!
Karen
