hello I'm Mikey, stage 4 liver cancer that has metastasized to three different parts of the spine. and just eight months ago this all started as a pain in my side that got worse as the days passed. finally after three weeks of the worst pain, I thought possible. this week I decided to stop the radiation and kimo . side effects from the treatments are mostly gone I can eat, walk, and not constantly getting sick. I hope yours goes better than mine. I'm not giving up but I'm not going to die going through the pain and sickness that comes with it. this fight you are about to undertake will drain you both mentally and physically. so stay strong and remember these are your final times if you're sick it's ok to show it.   bless you mikey ...

Hi Michelle It did take a little while for them to answer my request but they apologised for the delay. We are having a chat session on 11 Feb at 7pm eastern time so you could join in the chat then after they accept you as a member of the group. Hope you get good news when you see the oncologist. Cheers Robyn ... View more

Hello Lynne, I hope you are finding it a bit easier every day. You have been in my thoughts daily, and sorry it has taken a while to reply - I have been dealing with insurances and chemo and just feeling quite 'ordinary'. Thank you for your beautiful message. I am indeed on short doses of the dreaded dex (only for 4 days during the 3 week chemo cycle) but I have noticed and tried to temper any intolerance I have felt. Forewarned and all that so thanks for the heads up. We are coping now though Lynne - staying positive and moving forward, just coming to terms with it all and the changes. It has still only been a bit over 2 months I have been "in the know" about a problem and a month since we found out the severity - the whirlwind dust is only just settling. I send you all the love I can muster. Take care XXX ... View more

Great news, Tony. Drink lots and lots - flushing out the bad stuff. Watch out for the Dex [bad news}, eat healthy food and HAVE FUN, when you feel up to it. I'm definitely on Team Tony, and you & your family are in my prayers. Love to all of you, Lynne xxxx ... View more

Hi Joe, everyone has given you great advice and I will just repeat one of those things...DO NOT GOOGLE IT.... We all understand the emotional rollercoaster each day is but trying to live as normally as possible is the best medicine and not worry about things that haven't happened and may never happen is very good advice. It's a waste of a great day! It's sounds as if that is flippant advice but I promise you there is nothing flippant about it. I've got to this stage because I've been through what you're going through, so look after yourself and know that whatever you may be feeling, this is a great place to come and get some support because we can all empathise with how you're feeling. Good luck 🙂 ... View more
