Re: Update on moving!/to Jane

Hi Jane:

Sorry to hear you are so sick. Please keep me posted on your travel plans.

I am finishing my 12th chemo session the week of January 9th. I would love

to meet you and help you out with anything you need. I should be Ok by Jan.

14th - one week after my first day of chemo. Do you have someone to go to

USC with you to see Dr. Lenz? If you want me to go with you, I will. I

graduated from USC many years ago and worked in downtown LA for 20 years.

I am suffering with my chemo but yours sounds even worse. I don't know how

you can move with all of this going on.

twice having to go for ivs. I am trying to move but coud not pack

being so sick. I will restart once I get to CA. My plane reservation

is for Jan 7th. Too busy paciking this year to do Christmas. I now

have to eat 6 small meals a day. If I eat a big meal my stomach can

not empty and I throw up. This is a real pain but seems to be

working. I guess the tumor in my duodenum is a bit bigger and slows

the movement of food. I am drinking Boost at least once a day since I

am now losing weight. I do have an appt. at USC with Dr. Lenz on Jan.

19th. I am excited about that. Maybe they can do something for the

tumor. It is good to read these posts gives me an idea of what lies

ahead. Have a blessed day.

Hi ,

Congratulations on doing 12 sessions of chemo. That is quite a

feat. I did not like the oxaliplatin but the irinotecan seemed to

cause me more problems. I am off it right now until I move. I do

not know if this is a good idea because I am having some discomfort

in my liver area and hoping nothing is growing. I will be just north

of Santa Barbara. I am going to call on Mon. and get an appt at the

SB cancer center so I can restart some chemo. Then my appt with Dr.

Lenz is on the 19th. I think my brother is going to take me. I am

moving there so I am with family. My closest family right now is 5

hours away. Too far for help with the chemo side effects. I will

let you know when I do finally arrive in CA.
