The duration of initial treatment

My mother had a large treatment this week, a little next week and then they will remove the PICC line and give 3 months without treatment to rest his body. Do you find this normal? Course in early January, she will have a scan but it remains that my brother and I are sad that she has three months without treatment. For, what we as news, it responds well to treatment. The disease stabilizes.
My answer is: YES, I find it quite normal. I do not know how cycles it has received so far, but I can confirm. Do not forget that the products it receives, it's not Tylenol, these are powerful poisons that can do irreversible damage. The body of your mother needs to rest, recuperate and I remain confident in the professionals who know when the body reaches its limits.
During my first round of chemo, I was to receive 8 cycles. My oncologist decided to stop at 6 cycles, which corresponds exactly to 2x 6 weeks. Three months! I too was surprised and disappointed, and worried, but my oncologist, explained well the dangers of continuing, even if the treatment worked. The decision ultimately lasted nine months, in part, without rérmission other chemo for my greatest happiness, until one day the little dragon has decided to move, grow, and there we went to another treatment, then a another, then another .... always different molecules. You can not reuse a drug that worked, because cells that have become resistant to reproduce the information in this resistance in their DNA. The drugs injected
can do damage severe and irreversible liver, kidney, thyroid, and neuropathies may be irreversible selont chemotherapy used. The aggressive treatment is most often the result of the demands of relatives, family members, more than doctors themselves. Each to his own, everyone's knowledge. I think the doctor who treats your mom deserves your trust and without making a long road to medical school, specialization in this field, our neophyte ruling is erroneous. You come there to talk to the doctor or nurse navigator for more information. That's important.
Well, I wanted to respond quickly, because this issue is important. Remember, I'm not a doctor, Medical Advisor or another. But this question is exactly a situation I had. The doctor is a delicate challenge: to attack strong enough to destroy cancer cells, treated gently to preserve the maximum healthy tissue and organs.

The calm ...

past month, my health, at least apparently, has undoubtedly improved, although I know it's the same as before, that cancer is still there, yet many people thought caring for me, "pros" so have seen a real improvement, measurable: I took a little weight + .2 kg, mobility, agility is better oxygenation of the blood is excellent The stethoscope says it's better in the lungs. And myself, I feel the concrete effects of this lull. Less fatigue, faster pace, stamina between two rest, etc.. It's incredible, The pitfall is that one is tempted to believe a little, even if we argue. What is strange is that when things go wrong, or that it hurts, we do not imagine that this could go back, we are convinced that it can be argued that in a sense, as the clock. Well this is wrong and I've seen several times. It is a respite, of course, that we do not know the duration, and the sores would resurface, but it's so amazing to receive such a period, even if it was only some weeks, it would well worth it. You see, that makes four Christmas my end of the world has announced (J. Mineraud), yet it is still not an appointment. I divided the year into four quarters in early 2010, my first quarter as fixing the lens etc. .. and it is not far from the finish this year. So many people have contacted me, even more recently are this world by now. Our friend flutist who was diagnosed just a year ago with breast cancer in stage 1 is being spirited to end his life in hospital with meta brain and bone. On December 26, 2006, we went home to tell him my maladie.Elle was made in spring, then chemo and radio. Lightning in less than a year. Scary. A few weeks ago, she said, "You know, Denis, I go before you." I could not believe it really. But today, I think for her, there will be more significant decline of his illness. And I think there is something wrong with this logic there.

Two books to help you accompany a sick relative

Two interesting books on the subject, which guide us through this whole process is often complex.

Living with a relative seriously ill book version. T Raversi serious illness as a person who accompanies Dr. Yves Quenneville, and Dr. Natasha Dufour, Psychiatric Oncology at CHUM
Living with a seriously ill close , in digital would be a good starting point. I feel through my correspondence, meetings waiting rooms, discussions with staff, it could reduce the fear of speech, the law of silence, the difficulty to be exchanged between family members on these topics often unknown.

Together in illness of a close , Dr. Christophe Faure in PDF or in print.

Personally, I would recommend them, they both bring a lot of information and can see a little clearer, organize and perhaps to anticipate a little.
