Need some feed back from other stage IV sisters
Hema is showing improvement.Navelbin is effective and the breast is healing She is able to swallow now.Though with difficulty,The main cause for concern is a bit of loss of memory and not able to say or control her bodily movments.I am using Adult diapers now and taking her to the bathroom every 2 hours in the day time and twice at night.
My request for feed back is only on the loss of memory and controlling her bodily system. Her last PET in June 2012 disclosed advanced scelorisis in the spine than the one in 2011.
Hema's onc says that the loss of memory etc are the side effects of the WBR she had in Feb'Mar 2012.Her recent brain CT shows normal study indicating that the lesion has calcified.
I read during googling that spine mets also reflect such brain reactions like loss of memory lack of control etc.
I request you to share your experiences in that line
Praying for all of you
