CS Christmas gifts), and I felt so badly when I saw this thread. It's been a month since your aunt's diagnosis and I wanted to send you lots of dust and prayers. I hope things are moving in a positive direction for your aunt.

Thanks. I have not herd directly from her, but they are blasting her with chemo. She is really having a rough time. I am not sure when they will see how the cancer is doing.
What gets me is that they placed her radiation tattoos, and then told her she could not loose any weight because they would move them. I have been trying to keep my mouth shut, but I could not on that one. I told my father that was delusional thinking. I mean, chemo is nauseating and causes everything to taste like metal. Do they really think she is going to hold her appetite?

Wow, that would really make me mad, as well ! Sometimes they just forget that the patient is a whole human being and not just a body with a diagnosis. How ridiculous to suggest that she not lose weight You get a 24 hr stomach bug and you lose weight!
As I said, sending you lots of dust and prayers.
