Lung cancer along with serious health issues: Treatment options?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: Mar 2, 2023 | Replies (12)Comment receiving replies
Hi jamie- I hope that you don't mind me stepping in here, a bit late. I've been a lung cancer survivor for 25 years and I understand having a lot of CTs. Just in the last couple of years, I've needed to use an anti-nausea med. But that's not a biggie.
It's so strange that someone can be stable for a long time on meds and scans and treatments and then, bam, something very weird happens to make you sit up and say, "What is this?"
I totally agree with Colleen's recommendation of speaking with his pharmacist! I relay heavily on mine.
What is the home remedy that he suggested? I'm being nosy so if you don't want to answer that's fine.
I wish you luck with this. I hope that you will let me know even if you don't tell me what the home remedy is.
Merry

Hi Merry!
First of all, I'm PML not Jamie. But that's OK. I can see where that could be confusing since Colleen mentioned both Jamie and PML in the same comment.
That's great that you have had lung cancer for 25 years and are doing well! My husband has had lung cancer for 12 years. Except for this current memory problem due to the CT Scan medicine, he has been doing very well also.
The home remedy is my idea, not the doctor's. But he thought it was a good idea. I don't mind sharing it at all. I found some over the counter medicine that was supposed to help your memory. But when I read the ingredients it had a lot of preservatives in it. My husband and I decided we didn't want the preservatives but the other ingredients were water and something that helped your electrolytes. We drink Gatorade and that helps your electrolytes and we live in Edmonds WA which has the best tasting water since it comes from a fresh mountain stream. So it just seemed natural for Ed to drink a lot of water and also some Gatorade daily. (I drink it too.) It seems to be working. Between that and prayers, Ed's memory is starting to improve!
