Since this all began we have had to keep a very close watch on medication , times its to be taken and how etc and also you watch for changes that can sometimes be missed by a consultant or gp , There have been so many mess ups with mums med's and we have even had to ask for blood test's and had to ask about mum's Phenytoin level and request that as her levels were low should it be increased and they said yes it did seem low...
Hi can anyone from the Carlisle area tell me what the protocol on treating Lung cancer is. My sister said she has been told she has lung cancer but will not get an MRI for another 2 weeks I was under the impression that an MRI was a diagnostic factor in these cases. I would appreciate your input. IF it is true that she has this then 2010 has been a hell of a year for me
Love Teri

I had my chemotherapy appointment today and have come away with a bag load of pills and various items to counteract possible side effects. Hopefully as I am having a relatively low dose (of Capecitibine) to go with the radiotherapy I will not suffer from side effects too much, but it is sill going to take some adjusting to the new regime. Two pills twice a day at the same time each day following food (Monday-Friday - weekends off!).
I have been given enough for 15 days and see the pharmacist at...
