Ill also echo what a couple of said here already. I'm a huge fan of Gummies these days. They helped with the nausea and helped with her appetite as well. Its legal here. A lot of doctors wont prescribe it but I just go through the doper drive through. LOL

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!!

I with you on this man and words of wisdom there. My wife of 43 years was diagnosed with cancer April 2024. What a gut punch. We were told she had 2 months , tops. Here we are , 2 years later and she is doing well. Lots of prayer and excellent care! We are thankful for each day and do what we can to maximize the time. Praying the best for you and your wife.

re: How did you 80s baws watch games?
Posted by MercyTriumphs on 12/23/25 at 12:33 pm to Russianblue
First game I recall watching on TV was 1971. I was 10 years old. Matchup with Norte Dame. Watched with my grandfather and uncles. TV with Rabbit ears and foil on them. Was a glorious day.
