Bob, Alumni Mentor @grandpabob thank you for your healthy tips or eating. Eating I don't have problem. But lack of eating is sign to watch for; my mom, several of her sibling, brother-in-law, neighbor, best friend husband died of Cancer Cachexia (didn't know the name until my hematologist told me watch for signs and symptoms)
AGAIN: Thank you for sharing this information. My sister was diagnosed with MS, then she was diagnosed with cancer (we pushed MS side and thought it was misdiagnosis of the cancer. After researching this, watching Youtube videos and reading; https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/multiple-sclerosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20350269
My sister for 20 years; one eye (black spot) see around it or blurry vision; can't see for ours, days
Temporary paralysis; she broke her leg walking, going for walk, her one leg (stopped working) fell
Couldn't dress herself, husband had to dress her (her hands stopped working) but she could do it the next day
She went to store, couldn't physically open door, store called her husband and family came and got my sister
Many times my sister was cleaning house , her body stopped, fell on floor and had to wait for husband to come home, laying there for hours and couldn't move. She tried to pick up things and couldn't if her life depended on it. I thought "I'm not as bad as my sister" but reading MS; I am showing signs but blaming it on cancer
This Mayo Clinic Health Letter is what I needed and will share this with my sister, who struggled with MS for years. It's something to think about THANK YOU BOB

My name is Kim Moeller. Soon to join the group with Pancreatic Cancer and will have biopsy for staging next week.
For your sister - look up Mobile Help. And never have to be scared about her falling. It works. Been using 2 years now. "Part of "help, I've fallen and can't get up" system. It is a medical alert system.

Hello @raremiracle2 - I am so glad you found the information helpful and that you will share it. Mayo Clinic does have excellent information available on their site. Eating healthy is so important when a person is not well. I am so sorry to hear about your sister and her current struggles, I hope she can find some relief.
Stay in contact with your healthcare team to keep watch on the symptoms you mentioned for yourself.
You obviously have a close relationship with your sister, do you live close by?
