Even though I never did marijuana, I wouldn't think it would raise you CEA.

In doing a little research a while ago, marijuana is an anti-inflammatory isn't it? It has many great properties as well.

I truly believe that chemo has everything to do with bad teeth. I remember my teeth feeling like they weren't planted very well in my jaw. They just seemed loose, ya know? It was about a year ago I noticed one of my teeth died. It's totally black now. I am convinced it's chemo and nobody is going to...

Love you back, Bev.

I think of you all the time and I'm more of a 70/30 lurker/poster anymore.

I love that cancer has brought me to you. You've definitely been a shining light in all this!!

I am so sorry. Your sister was very young. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Ok... this is how cowgirlish I am. "Ever get hooked?" Why yes, many times. Mostly during calving season or when doctoring the mad cow's babies. I've heard this term more often than not during calving. "Did you see her hook me? I thought she was gonna take my leg off!" When a cow ...

Karin, I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers and thoughts out to you and her family.

1.2 years as of this month. Very grateful!!

HI Tim, I am so glad that the pain is gone. I know you've heard this before, but stable is good. I've always looked at stable being a good thing. I am sorry that your mom is pressuring you though. I do understand where she's coming from. I'm also sure that you understand where your mom is coming fro...

Fletch, the photos are great!! I was in Maui the first part of December, and you're absolutely right about the weather and temps. It's just so gorgeous there. We weren't brave enough to ride bikes down from the volcano. It woulda hurt my ass, plus, it was too freaking cold. I mean I'm an Idaho girl....

Terry, you have just made my day!! I really hope it's gone, too.

Like Bev said, everyone needs a break from this disease, you included. I don't hate many things, but this disease tops my list.

Love you lots, girl...

Happy Cancerverssary!! I know we started out pretty close to each other and I was thinking about you the other day when I was scheduling my yearly scope. Yes.... the dreaded scope. :shock: Here's to Tuesday! *I'm holding up my tasty beverage* I'm so glad you've had a good year. We really do deserve ...

Tim, I'm just reading this and I'm speechless.

I really hate when doctors throw out numbers though. Can I just say that? They're not gods and they have no idea how much time you really have left.

I'm praying for you, Tim. I'm praying hard.

Jaynee, I hope I didn't offend or hurt feelings either. Your preference is your preference. You have to go with whatever is comfortable for you. If I used an anesthesiologist I'd have to go out of town, which would mean I couldn't use my surgeon, whom I'm not willing to give up -- for any reason. We...

Like Bev, how long would my patients have to wait to get a shot of morphine? Horrible situation that would be. Interestingly, we only have CRNAs at our hospital. Our one and only anesthesiologist went nuts (literally) and climbed to the roof with a rifle. Yeah, I loved him before he went off the dee...

Wow, Karen, that is good news!! Congrats!
