SueZQ, wonderful news Lady!!! The biggest thing she will face now is the chemo. The after effects effect everyone and not all the sameway. I didn't feel like eating but I forced myself to eat even if it was just a little and I would eat many times in the coarse of a day. The Doc's will say the immediate effects might last 24-72 hours after a dose but again it not a standard. I for one felt the effects for 4-7 days after a does and had the dose was every 3-weeks. It's a roller coaster ride and everyone around her has to help but yet let her remain in control. It's one of those thing that impacts the mind and body. Chemo also effected my short term memory severely and once I realized this I started pulling my knives out, using my calipers and metal rules and started working calculations from imperial to metric, anything to keep my mind rolling. Even afterwords I still faught it for 2-years to regain mental abilities. Chemo is something a lot of people want talk about but I will. Anything to prolong the spirit and working to keep the body whole is pretty much what I try to do anymore. I would be willing to say that "thatmguy" can verify his experiences as well.

All the Best to Jessy and family. One of the bad side effects that goes un said and that is the family. Chemo doesn't just effect the person having it but the family members as well. They suffer emotionally, I know I watched my wife.

Feel free to contact me anytime Sue even if you just need an ear to bend.

We are with you Jessy, more than you know!!!
 
Thank you Russ. This will be the fifth round of chemo. She really is a trouper. I stay strong when I am with her but privately is another story. There really is no one for me to talk with because the family is just too close to it. Here's hoping for the best tomorrow.
 
Prayers sent Sue, I hope things get better.
 
We are at chemo now. Blood count was ok so, onward. I just got back with lunch, thankfully Jess has a good appetite. She read through this thread and wants to say THANK YOU EVERYONE.
 
Good news Sue. Will continue sending smoke and prayers:thumbup:
 
That is good news ! Good vibes and prayers sent !
 
Update as of today 11/13/13. Jessy was diagnosed with more tumors in the brain at her last appointment. This is new growth, so something isn't stopping the growths. Gamma Knife is out now and she is undergoing whole brain radiation. She has 4 more treatments. I am taking her for tomorrow's treatment and to her MRI appointment. Her attitude is amazing, but everything is wearing her down. Chemo is over for now, so that is a plus. Send some good vibes her way please? Thanks everyone.
 
I will keep her in my prayers...Jessy will beat this, attitude has 90 % of it. And prayer has the rest so keep on fighting and as hard as it gets try to laugh when you can. Prayers and love from the frozen north :)
