Just stopping by to let you know I'm still praying for Ken and you Patti every day. I know how very difficult this road is.

Me too.... always keeping Ken and Patti in prayers. This is too big a burden for you two to carry alone, and I know your YT friends are helping you carry it.
Hang in there, and lean on us a little when you need to.

Patti you and Ken are in my thoughts

Patti · 10-23-2011, 12:40 PM

Thanks everyone. Ken is having a lot of difficulty walking due to the numbness in his legs, difficulty swallowing and terrible fatigue. I am afraid he will not be in any shape to get chemo Thursday and I want to continue the fight of the cancer. I am going to talk to his doctor about doing something to boost his overall decline. I am so grateful for YT. I had a bad day yesterday feeling really down and overwhelmed. Coming on YT is a good distraction and knowing you are all supporting us in this journey. Thanks to Connie and Sandy( MauiGirl) for reaching out when I need it most. Hugs

Patti, prayers for you and Ken that he will grow stronger each day so he can have his treatments. God can perform miracles.

Patti I'm sorry Ken is having so many problems. May I ask what Chemo he is on?? I know when I had chemo one of them gave me numbness and my Onc perscribed off label Gabapentin to help with it. Prayers certainly continue for you both.

Ken is on carboplatin and gemcitabine. That's good to know I am going to ask his doctor about it. We mentioned the numbness to the oncologist and the cardiologist and they didn't say anything.

MauiGirl · 10-23-2011, 05:18 PM

Patti, always remember to that he may need hydration via IV. Dehydration slows down everything, and really leads to fatigue.

Hang in there gal, you are doing the best you can at each given moment. Ask for help when you need it from doctors, social workers, and especially us , your friends at YT who are ready with hugs, prayers, and much love for you and Ken in this struggle. You really have to speak up to the medical folks when you don't understand what is going on or have concerns. Without that they can't help you..... you have to ask.

More hugs & prayers going to you now.

Maximo · 10-23-2011, 08:28 PM

Thinking of you Patti and your husband every day. Sending prayers for Ken's strength and for better days ahead for both of you.

Yep chemo is tough. I forgot to ask you, you said his counts were still low, Do they give him the Neulasta Shot the day after his treatments? This shot will help boost the White Cell count back up. Also one of the side effects can be bone pain from it. I know he may like drink water all the time and it very important that he does stay hydrated. One thing I found when I wnet thru chemo that helped was drinking Gatoraid G2 Series, this is the low cal one and helps with hydration really well. I loved the orange flavored one.
