Hi Linda

I will dittto what Georgia has said. You are not alone. My husband was diagnosed in November 2006. He had his alimta last year, 6 cycles and had a really good result and has gone until now without any change. He is going to have some more chemo starting soon as a bit has started to develop again. He said he is dreading it because of what side effects he might get this time. You are not alone and here you can find some wonderful support from people. Take care x

Hi Linda

Sorry to hear this.

This site has brought me some good friends and some great advise.

It's hard to get someone to eat when they are feeling so ill they don't want to, I initially went to great lengths to make special food, tasty etc and ended up hiding that I was feeling really upset that she did not want it, now with mum I have found some things she will eat no matter how she feels - banoffee pie, ginger cake, rich tea biscuits to name a few - non of which are healthy foods but it's food - I still make a dinner for her, smaller portions and an 'eat what you can' rule is always applied!

I find that I can feel alone and low despite having fantastic friends, they are all there for me but @ 0100 you can't really pick up the phone! Also, with the best will in the world, unless someone has experience they dont really understand.

That is where this chat room has helped immensely - I can log on at any time of day or night and see a friendly face :)

Sending you a hug and some extra strength :)
