Hi Julie,
The story I posted was found at www.acor.org. I am a member of a list-serve there named EC-Group. There is a ton of information, survivor stories, etc. there too. I found out about it through another EC site-Cathy's EC at www.eccafe.org.
My dad is not much farther along in this thing that yours. He was diagnosed 12/18/07, found out about mets. to the lung 1/3/08, and started chemo 1/9/08. He has only had two treatments because he was hospitalized for 3 out of the first 4 weeks. He is willing to fight and attitude is everything from what everyone says. He is 5' 11" and weighed 210 lbs at Christmas. He now weighs 171 lbs. He also has a feeding and we are working up to taking more of the supplement everyday.
Please keep us posted on how things go and I will keep you both in my prayers.
God Bless
Thanks so much for the website..I will check it out tonight! It was so hard to come home and see my father as weak and skeletal as he is. I live out of state and feel very helpless. I hope your father does well...sounds like he will with his good attitude. I will keep you posted and know that you are in my prayers as well.
Julie
