Chemo Brain Information
Chemo Brain
Now they call it Chemo Brain. There are pages upon pages of data on this dysfunction. When I did chemotherapy in 1992 the term was not used, at least not that I heard. It fits, and I believe it to be a real side effect factor to be considered and dealt with. Almost as soon [...]
My Chemotherapy Wardrobe
Now here was a plus. While doing chemo I found my wardrobe the one thing that I liked. It was real simple.Sweat Pants, T-shirts and a bandana. Easy to mix and match.The only problem I ran into was in a few public places. Once while walking through a mall I was harassed by the security [...]
Clear the Chemo Taste
I am sure each patient and each Chemotherapy is different, but I had a terrible time with how it affected my taste buds. Everything had a metallic taste to it. Things that I loved I could not tolerate with this added flavor.Finding something to drink became an increasingly difficult task. I loved sodas but could [...]
Chemotherapy and Humor
I am going to use 2 words that certainly will not appear to go together.Chemotherapy and Humor.Why? Because I found out very quickly that you had to have one to survive the other. If you can manage to keep a little sense of humor a big part of the Chemotherapy experience will be a lot [...]

Scott Dudek I am off to UM Hospital to see my dad. They found another brain tumor at the back of the head. The chemo doc thinks the next does will help contain it. the original one seems to be not growing.
Susie Walker I haven't been posting to facebook or checking emails this last month or so becaue I was in the hospital for a few weeks and having a battering of tests done. The cancer is back with a vengeance: Head to toe. Doctors started radiation treatments on the hips, legs and the brain immediately. Chemo will start next week. My son and I need all the prayers we can possible receive. Statistics are not favorable...But I have everything to live and fight for, My Son

He will then when finished received chemo to his body. This is a shock went in Moms day to er with chest pain. Trying to keep spirits up. Keeps him in your thoughts and pray for a effect treatment.

Mark Olson Found out Mark Kelly's test results today. Good news is the leukemia still appears to not be hiding in the brain. Thankful to God for that. Not so good news is although the bone marrow test show he is responding to chemo somewhat, he's not responding at the level they had hoped. He started out as standard risk but they have now moved him to high risk and they are going to do more intensive therapy. They will explain the new direction of his treatment to us on Monday. Will still be 3 1/2 years of treatment but will just be more intense I think. Will know more Monda
Judi Foy Mills Sorry to pass bad news on facebook, but it seems to be a quick way. Ken has been diagnosed with lung cancer this week, and we just found out it has spread to his brain, he will start chemo tomorrow, and radiation at a later date. He is in University of Chicago hospital for the weekend. He quit smoking 2 years ago, but not soon enough. Please lift him up in your prayers.
Treva Heaton I'm requesting prayer for a dear friend of mine. Her grand-daughter (Ashley Price - 12 yrs. old) is in the childrens hospital in Memphis, having surgery to remove a brain tumor. After surgery she started having problems with extreme weakness, can't speak, and losing mobility. They can't start chemo, or radiation treatments until she is strong enough to be able to endure the treatments. Please pray for this child's complete healing and peace for her family.
Angelique Hollenbeck-Sikes Well bad news on my dad today. He has braincancer in to areas of his brain. They r going to try chemo there is only a 30% chance that it will help. Just may prolong so he can b around a little longer I am very upset prayers needed.
Trish Cohen Is requesting prayers for a 10 year old little boy who lives in Parma. He was diagnoised with cancer in 2004 and was in remission for 5-7 years. This week his family found out that his cancer is back and is in his brain and the doctors say that he has just a few months. He is a beautiful, happy little boy who always has a smile on his face. Please keep this little boy and his family in your prayers. Thsi little boy really inspired me while I was going through my chemo treatments, when I thought I could do it no more, I thought about him and said if he could do it so could I. God Bless you little man.
