I'll ask the doctor if chemo can be done on her, thanks

Allen: I believe it can be. I, of course, had small cell lung cancer --
very aggressive. The chemo really worked for me, but the side effects
weren't pleasant. I have a friend who is currently going through chemo for
a cancer that has traveled to the bones in one of her legs. It seems to be
working. She has also undergone radiation. She broke her leg as a result
of the cancer, but it's healing now and she doesn't need her crutches
anymore. Kathy

Subject: RE: [MOL] RE:
hDear Kim: I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that --
what the maximum
radiation would be, but I'm fairly sure someone else on this
line knows.
Like I said, I had 33, so your wife could conceivably have
13 more. I would
think, Kim, that once the size of the tumor has been
reduced, your wife
would be able to move her legs. I had a pinched nerve in my
lower back
about ten years ago as a result of a herniated disc, and I
was unable to
walk for a week or so because of the intense pain. Once the
swelling went
down, though, I had no problem walking. Pressure on nerves
can do strange
things -- cut off the brain's message to certain parts of
the body.
Eventually, my back healed and I didn't need surgery. Is
your wife
receiving chemotherapy? Your friend, Kathy

Subject: RE: [MOL] RE:
Kathy,
My wife had up to date 20 hits of radiation
(10 on her lower
spine and pelvic bone, and 10 on her upper spine). Is there
maximum number
of radiation a person can receive??? Currently, my wife
cancer cell on her
upper spine is causing pressure to her nerve resulting in
losing her muscle
movement on her both legs. Tomarrow will be her 10th hit
and was wondering
if she will ever be able to move her legs???

Dear Margo: I had 33 hits of radiation over
a year ago. It
wasn't
pleasant, but I wasn't on any kind of
special diet. I just
ate whatever I
could, and that wasn't much!!! Ensure three
times a day
kept me from losing
too much weight, but I could hardly gag it
down. Cream
soups were fairly
easy to eat, but most food tasted horrible
to me. I don't
know if that was
the radiation or the chemo, but eventually,
this problem
went away. Do you
have any specific questions? I'll help if I
can. Your
friend, Kathy in
Boise
