Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

also..
Might be an opportune time to get a tissue sample for chemosensitivity testing to better the chance of picking a helpful therapy.

Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

Jen,

Please give her a hug from me, too.

If you type in 'liver mets' using the 'search' button on top, you'll find postings on the subject. Seems there are many ways to treat the problem on many different levels. WOS has been a devoted member here on the board. Please let her know we are all thinking of/praying for her.

Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

omg, thanks to everyone for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers, I love Jacquie so much, she is now home with me, and I took some family leave to be home with her, she does have the drain in , that needs to be emptied, and she is very weak, so she needs a cane, and a wheelchair to go out at this point. The visiting nurse says that we need to get out in the sun, air,. etc. we are going to the mall when she is up to it. lol. shes still not eating much these days, but she does drink lots of fluids all day. I will never give up on her, its just very scary.

Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

Jennifer, it is good to hear that WOS is out of the hospital. That is no place to get well! I know that sun, fresh air and friendly surroundings will be very healing. And of course they say a little retail therapy is always good (although I'm not a big shopper and would rather just eat chocolate)

Take care, and give Jacquie my best.

Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

I find that shopping therapy is great combined with chocolate therapy. It allows you to eat more with less guilt. I highly recommend it. WOS, hope the sunshine makes you smile. ma

Re: womanofsteel aka Jacquie

The mall in our town has many skylights spread around the building. You all might be able to go to one of the malls in your area and still enjoy the outdoor benefit.

Our continued prayers for WOS and her loved ones.
