Chemo

I’ve been looking at the funnel cloud entry for weeks now and thinking I need to write a post on the floods. Each time I went to write about it, I drew a blank. It has affected my family down in Keokuk, Iowa and Hamilton, Illinois. Thankfully, they, their homes and [...]

VIDEO - Chemo Del Solar insultando a sus jugadores en el partido contra Uruguay:Chemo perdió los papeles e insultó a sus jugadores durante la goleada (6-0) que la selección peruana de fútbol recibió a manos de Uruguay.

El jueves 22 de mayo se complementará el llamado, cuando se dé a conocer los

After sleeping in while smelling pancakes, I woke to greet my last day of feeling good for a little awhile. I went to the bathroom and shook the hair off my sleeping cap. Even with handfuls going today, it’s hanging in there. I’d say a couple more days before I turn [...]

Yesterday was a great day. I was going to say it was the Qigong session and walk which made the difference but the day started off with me up early! Which is usually unheard of. I feel like I have the lay of the land now. First part nausea, second part fatigue, [...]

It hasn’t been for me. And that is me. Things don’t come easy to me because I don’t like them to. That is who I am. I talked to a “survivor” who went through the same chemo treatment. She made it sound like a cake walk. Now, I know she [...]

The short story is I am fine.  The long story is I felt sick by the time we got home from my first chemo treatment.  I took my medicine and slept until noon today.    I woke up sluggish and have been kinda slow all day.   I have not taken any medicine today and that [...]

Hair is one of the first parts of your body that would be seriously affected by chemotherapy. But this should be no cause for despair because once chemotherapy has successfully eliminated cancer agents in your body or your treatment reaches its end, hair regrowth can take place after a period of time.

According to new research, thousands of breast cancer patients could be spared chemotherapy without harming their odds of beating the disease. One recent study found that certain women were less likely to die or have a relapse if they were given a less harsh drug than Adriamycin, a mainstay of chemotherapy treatment. Another found that a gene test can help predict whether some women need chemo at all. The findings are likely to add to a growing trend away from chemo for many breast cancer patients.

This post is to share information on what Chemo is all about and hopes that it may give someone help in the future. Friends Boutique Dana Farber Cancer Center Judy's 1st chemo was a tuff one to get thru the 1st 2days were ok but the 3rd day to the 12th were hell there were days when she just wanted to give up and say the Hell with this, but she hung in there and I am so glad she did. Day 13 thru to the 2oth were so so some days better than others but always the tiredness and fatigue and a weird tingling in the finger tips that never seems to go away. This effects picking things up and writing and is very aggravating, the Doctor said this may last months or could be permanent. Day 20 her hair started falling out big time this was expected but still a shock when it actually happened. A few days before the 2nd Chemo I took Judy into Boston to the Friends Boutique at the Dana Farber Cancer Center on the 9th floor and she was fitted for and pic

Because chemotherapy drugs can affect healthy cells, one of their disadvantages is that you may experience chemotherapy side effects, some temporary and some longer term. Not every drug will cause every side effect. Your doctor can tell you what to expect from the drugs you're receiving. Temporary side effects might include: Hair loss Dry mouth Mouth sores (stomatitis) Difficult or painful swallowing (esophagitis) * Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Constipation Fatigue Bleeding Susceptibility to infection Infertility Loss of appetite Changes in the way food tastes Cognitive impairment, sometimes referred to as "chemo brain" Liver damage Heart damage Nerve damage Lung damage It has been 7 days now from the 1st Chemo treatment session and Judy my Fiancee has been having a rough time with some of the side effects. Lack of sleep and no appetite and the joint pain seem to be the harde

Now that all the cancer they found has been taken out my Fiancee has to go thru Chemo treatments which will start on the 1st of October. Her schedule consists of 4 separate treatments each 3 weeks apart and if all goes as planned will be over the 3rd of December. I have done a lot of research and found quite a bit of information which has helped me to understand what the next few months dealing with this will be like. I pray that there will be no complications or surprises and she will be cancer free as the end result. Many people fear chemotherapy because they have heard that it can have uncomfortable side effects. But side-effect management has come a long way over the last few decades. Today, many side effects once associated with chemotherapy can be prevented or controlled. With some types of chemotherapy, you may experience only minimal side effects. And chemotherapy may be your best option for a successful outcome. Chemotherapy Side Effects * Low white blood cell count * Low

Bone marrow transplantation restored reproductive capability to female mice that had undergone fertility-destroying chemotherapy, according to a study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.More research is needed to determine how a bone marrow transplant restores fertility in the mice, said the authors of the study, which was published in the Aug. 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.The researchers noted that donor-derived egg cells (oocytes) were detected in the ovaries of the marrow recipients, but all the pups born were from the recipients' own eggs."Consistent with our past work, cells derived from the donor bone marrow are getting into the ovaries and developing into immature oocytes," senior author Jonathan Tilly, director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology at the hospital, said in a prepared statement.The oocyte is the precursor to the mature ovum (egg)."Although these oocytes derived from marrow cells don't appear competent, at least

People with mesothelioma — a form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure — have a higher survival rate when treated with a combination of two cancer drugs, a large multicenter study finds.Mesothelioma, a rare but aggressive form of cancer that occurs in the lining of the lungs, heart and abdomen, is associated with exposure to asbestos. There is no known cure.In the study, patients receiving pemetrexed and cisplatin — along with the vitamin supplements folic acid and B12 — survived nearly three months longer than patients getting cisplatin alone.Researchers led by John Green, M.D., at the Clatterbridge Center for Oncology in England, reviewed a study of 448 patients with advanced mesothelioma who were treated with either the single drug or the combination.“Pemetrexed used in combination with cisplatin significantly increases the length of survival, when compared with cisplatin alone,” the researchers say. “Further research is needed into the optimum treatment regimen

All cancer patients treated with chemotherapy swear that the very treatment which helps their cancer ultimately affects brain cells. Friends and family of chemotherapy patients describe neurological side effects like memory loss, dementia, and even seizure. In an article from Thursday's BBC News, there is now scientific evidence that this is in fact the case. Patients call this syndrome "Chemo Brain." Researchers at the University of Rochester found, in lab tissue samples, that at high chemotherapy treatment doses, not only are cancer cells killed, but also a significant percentage of the normal brain tissue is destroyed. Lead researcher Dr Mark Noble said: "This is the first study that puts chemo brain on a sound scientific footing, in terms of neurobiology and cellular biology." The Rochester team carried out tests with three drugs used to treat a wide range of cancers: carmustine, cisplatin and cytosine arabinoside. All three drugs were toxic to several types of brain cell whose jo
