I am feeling so much for you daughter -- only 19. I do hope her lump isn't cancer. I had 'lumps', actually cysts for many years. But she is so young to have to deal with all of this. I will be thinking of and praying for her. I had my last round of chemo on Thurs and am so glad to be done with it although it will take awhile for the nausea and fatigue to wear off. One of the problems throughout this treatment was knowing how much of the nausea was from chemo and how much from the Requip I take for the PD (which has always caused some nausea). With my neurologist's permission, I cut back on the Requip for the time being and it hasn't made a great deal of difference in my functioning. Thanks so much for your good wishes.

My 19 year old daughter Margaret, sustained brain and neck injuries in summer 2003 and has been fighting parkinsonism ever since. people actually mistake her for being MY mother when it's the other way around! When Margey first felt the lump in her right breast,, she was told it was likely a result of prokinetics. This makes sense because of the side effect warning list and the fact that no member of our family has ever had it. We will not know what stage until her doctor explains the mammogram to us. Dr seems to think it is confined to the right breast which is visibly larger than the other one. Have anyone of you noticed that literature for the new PD medications warns you to look for skin cancers? I am reading about an association of Pd and some cancers, but I had not heard until Colleen's post that other people are battling both. I am very sorry, Colleen, that this is happening to you. You and your family are certainly in our prayers. you are very brave enduring this chemo and I truly hope that you don't have to have any more rounds of it. We can send you a get well card if you'd like to email us off list. it you prefer to keep email address private that is also fine. Many many good wishes for you are coming from Charotte, NC angela Hamon, caregiver, age 37 _________________________________________________________________ http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migratio n_HM_mini_pcmag_0507 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
