Tx during traveling

[JackABCD]

I am supposed to start tx during June this year. I am Stage 2-3, Grade: 2-3 after a biopsy I did just recently. I am planning to continue with everything as usual (as far as I will see that I can) except that I will try to inject during weekend and  plan the day after weekend as a very easy one. One of my problems is that I have to travel abroad as a part of my job from time to time. My question is how should I manage the trips with that therapy, How do I pass the flight security check with the meds, how do I keep the right temperature for the meds, Is there any specific equipment that can help me with that ? (isolated case, or something like that). Every advise will be appreciated.

Going thru tx affects people in many different ways.  It's the treatment is what has become my hell.  It's sx.  My husbands going crazy.  I and others have our good days and bad.  Please, It's no big deal.
I miss understood and there is a lot of crappy things being said, but you got a lot of people feeling pretty crappy.  Thank god for the people who have the sense of humor that makes us forget about our pain and make us laugh irreguardless.

Please don't leave the forum there are good people with lots of knowledge that you will need along your journey.

Thanks you type faster than me.
I really didn't try to be mean I just wanted her to understand.
I can be a stinker sometimes.  I'm married to a biker, not that that even matters.
Most of our biker friends are millioners, lawyers, doc.
my point sometimes I just say it like it is.
Shame on me.

there are several things you can do which will be helpful to your fitting into the group.

1.  don't shout. (write in all uppercase) you can emphasize a word or phrase, but it is hard for us to read when we are on treatment, many get fuzzy vision or are just bothered by any stimulation, visual, noise. hope for i speak for more than my self.  write in lower case.  it is easier to read.

2.  when you have a question, such as above about doesn't anyone have good news.  start a new thread rather than post questions not relevant to the post you have entered.  

now there are times people who have developed relations with each other jump in and topic changes somewhat as they banter or exchange greetings, but if you follow these suggestions it should help you get more postive responses to your questions, which are directed specifically at you, because it is your posting/thread which you have started. and then you can engage with those people who respond.  your conversations w/people will grow over time. i felt awkward with this process when i first started.

i posted in threads these past two days some problems but also that i am 2 weeks post tx. and feel no after symptoms of mental fog or fatigue.  i think that is excellent news.. and i hope someone is encouraged by that as tx can be such hell - and i am one who had so much problems while on it.

this is a great place to come for support.
good luck in your treatment

good luck to you.

No, Htownwife gets the final word!!! :)

Missy, I didn't take offense to what you said. You stated clearly all was forgiven. And yes, I know what the SX can be like even though I've never treated. I've lived with my husband who has, and it's been a real roller coaster, both physically and emotionally.

Robin, hope to see you around! You're going to feel better if you do, and nobody has taken offense to anything you've said. This treatment is SCARY, and emotions will run high! This is a GREAT place to vent, and also to get support!!

Hi Bonnie - I'm fairly new to this site as well.  I am currently strating Prove 3 for non-responders (was treated 2 years ago), and am fully aware of what lies ahead for me.  I definately had good days, and of course, some bad days.  I am sorry that you are on your own going through this process - everyone reacts differently to treatment, as for me, I try to focus on the good things - like maybe one day I was able to spend a few hours in the garden, etc... some nights I sleep really well, I rarely had headaches.  But then there are others whom are totally knocked out by this treatment - that's why it's important to share how you're feeling - good or bad!  Please remember that everyone reacts differently emotionaly & physically to treatment.  Since the meds throw you in a "chemical induced" depression, I mentally tried to do my best to recognize when I was having a good day and be greatful for that!  As for me personally, if I didn't look for the positive, it would all consume me.  Please know there are others out there that feel just like you.  And, you're not alone - there are plenty of people on this site that will share positive info with you!  Starting with me!!
Peace & Blessings,
