Bev: I want to thank you for that article! I had terrible Chemo Brain, and I tried to explain it to my children (both adults and should understand) All 3 thought I was faking? Can anyone tell me how you would fake chemo brain? Just 3 days ago my D-I-L told me there was NO such thing and she would la...

Bev I read all posts but don't post much. Better replies are given by others. I have always had such concern about you and your husband, both sick at the same time. I relate it to my spouse dying of throat cancer just a few years back! It seems since he had Cancer I thought I was somehow excempt. Of...

Lara What a story and I am not laughing! NO ONE should have had to go through all that. I had to deal with an unreasonable state trooper too! I was sitting at an intersection waiting to merge when a truck was close to my side and hit me. He was a hit and skip. The Officer was going to ticket me? (He...

I truly don't know what to say! I want to share his kindness to me, when I needed it so much. I did not even know him, but I was feeling so down (at a point) This dear man sent me several PM,s and yes lifted my spirits. This takes someone very very special to contact someone you don't even know, and...

It always upset me when the ill became unresponsive! Unable or just did not speak? However it took some devoted 'Aides' to let me know they can and will communicate. with you. Before that I had to 'Guess' at pain medicines. All the Aides talked to to most patients. They would ask questions and ask t...

I had beautiful teeth before Chemo! It all started by my teeth hurting so bad? They even moved (seemed to float around) all the time. I have a large bridge work on the upper left and the pain there was worse than anyplace? How one can have all fake teeth hurting is a mystery. I did go to the dentist...

Oh Dear! I do so remember Her telling us it can happen fast. I don't believe I thought 'This Fast' She was posting just several days ago. I do so admire her bravery, her intelligent thoughts and issues. All of her post seemed to amaze me. I wish her family the very best and her sick sister. She will...

I have said this before, Galen (Pat)is so smart, well informed. She could even look outside the box, and tell things like they most likely would happen. In any case my blessings are with her. and I wish the best for comfort, not only Pat but her ill sister and the rest of her family and friends. gra...

willtowin My GP put me on a low dose aspirin and I was always fine. But if I took 2 full aspirins I would have slight streaks of blood. Off the aspirin and nothing? We are however all different so it may mean something and happy you are getting the colonoscopy. When I put it together about the aspir...

I fell when I was on the Oxi too. The worst was I fractured my pelvis. Over 14 weeks of trying to heal and 'Yes' I had to use a walker. I just don't understand falling like I did? I was standing straight and just toppled over. OXI being evil is an understatement (to me) I hated it from the very firs...

I could never wish Cancer or any disease on anyone. I don't really understand his 'Reasoning'?

Sick or not we are all affected by Taxes.
It does not make any sense to me.

I just feel the side effects are so unfair. Have we not paid enough already? I really thought I hated 5FU pre-op, but then the Oxi too post-op. My most upset time was when I was telling my Onc I did not want the OXY and he said I had to have it because of protocol. I told him of the nightmares from ...

So happy for you your Husband and Daughter. (We have to know it was the 3 of you fighting for this event) I know all of us were sending best wishes, prayers etc, but the 'Burden' was on you 3. I wish you all everything you deserve and it is so much more than this! Such a heart-warming story. gracie

OK, this receptionist, office girl or maybe the one that brings the coffee? I do not know, but she has been improperly trained. But believe me they are out there! When my Spouse had throat cancer and we were trying to get him into an oncologists, there was NO luck! Even with a GP office call to them...

Like others I did not want to click on this thread! These things are so very very hard on the loving family, personal friends, and 'yes' all of us. We share so much, and it is hard to lose any one of us. I just lit a candle for her saying Terry you were a strong strong woman. Rest in peace, 'Dear La...
