True. Id read up on that. Definitely something to consider. Thanks

That's a good question that I don't have an answer for. We traveled all over and never had issue with that. I do think there are some time (peak hours) restrictions

Edinburgh is a fantastic city. I lived north of St Andrews for 3 years . Edinburgh may be my favorite city. Traveling via train is the way to go.

NO.. I'm punching out next year.

Yep. Bunch of BS.

hate to hear that. My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 metastasized cancer in April of 2024. Scans showed liver was just completely covered with tumors, had some in her bones and lungs. Doctor told us she likely had a month or so. We started conventional chemo right away. She also had radiation because of the spots on her brain.. Here we are 2 years later and while she is not considered cancer free she is doing pretty good.

The original chemo via a port really did not make her that nauseous. They gave her nausea meds via the drip before. She also had some anti nausea meds to take as needed. She struggled with loss of appetite due to the chemo. Loss of energy, but mind you, she was still incredibly sick when we started this. She continued to lose weight for a while until we completed the 2 week course of chemo.

They did some detailed tests that revealed that the cancer started in her lungs. Non smoker. They said this was good news as they knew of a chemo pill that is designed to target the very cancer that she has and coudl pass through the Brain/blood barrier and treat teh tumors in the brain as well. Not many side effects from that.

I would advise you get a full regimen of anti nausea meds from your oncologist. Try to stay hydrated. One thing we did weekly is go in for IV fluids. That seemed to help a lot. There were certain things my wife still liked to eat and that is what we ate. Her skin became much more sensitive due to chemo. Simple bumps or scrapes looked a lot worse then they normally would.

We mostly dealt with some nausea, a lot of fatigue and the weight loss. She has gained back some of the weight, eats pretty well now and her quality of life is good. Her latest scans show zero cancer in Liver, no spots in her lungs or bones either. She did have a what they called a "mini-stroke" that showed up on her brain MRI, but no new cancer. She is literally a walking miracle.

I hate that you are having to go through this. its a grind for the patient and the caregiver. I will pray for strength for you both and that the doctors will have supernatural wisdom on how to treat it. We have had excellent care here and I'm very thankful for that. Stay strong and fight!!
