I hope your cough is better. I suffer from dry cough, use 4L of oxygen at night and have at least three areas of atelectasis. I use oral hydrocodone when sick but find the most relief from my ultrasonic humidifier with breathing friendly organic essential oils. I can’t sleep without it now. It is al...
I am finding diet very challenging. Since my cancer is a rare type, a combination low amine and low residue seems to be the best plan. There must be some truth to the diet as I “pay dearly” when I deviate. Ironically many of the items on the low residue diet are counter intuitive to healthy eating s...
I eat but everything passes through very quickly. Following the low residue guidelines they provided at cancer center. Not letting up. Would like to facilitate a natural adjustment. Diet etc. on enough meds the way it is. Appetite is gone most of the time. Any thoughts are welcome welcome and apprec...
I have been away for some time. I miss my friends on this site from days gone by. So happy to still see familiar names. The other shoe finally dropped and on September 1, 2023 I underwent a small bowel resection and removal of a tumor in my jejunum and of two malignant and grossly enlarged lymph nod...
Looking back my first symptom was a failed prep. Now I have to approach it seriously with very light diet 48 hours before prep day. It could just as easily be due to chronic constipation so I would have him approach it as suggested with light meals etc. I also take one light laxative the day before ...
This is Cowgirl918. I have been away for a few years also. Seeing you on here put a big smile on my face today. Thanks for that. I had been showing clear then Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) popped up in small bowel. Two deep lymph nodes lighting up in mesentery. Surgery on Sept. 1 to remove all that can...
This is the best news I have heard in some time!!!!!! Beans is the strongest and most compassionate person I have known in many years. I will pray for her recovery and and end to her illness. Beth
My dear friend, I read your note to me several times and I am so thrilled that you finally have a surgery date! I am praying for you and will place you in our wider prayer circle as well. I know that you are "cowgirl tough" and can beat Larry and anything he throws at you. I do have a pair...
I have been watching everyone more quietly this summer. I have also grieved the losses such as dear, dear Brown Bagger. Now it is my turn again to step up to the plate and I miss the sage advice of the well known "old timers" who guided me with such compassion. I think that may I have beco...
OK. So I am taking your concern seriously Butt the comment about the corn made me laugh. We all need to laugh. I would also strongly advise you to discuss with your physician. The Buttom line is that you don't know what it was. I am still smiling wondering a) how did you find it ? and b) how did you...
I agree with Lee about unusual jump. We can say "don't worry" but that is very hard to do. Try to focus on nurturing yourself while waiting on the scan and do something fun. I always figure I will be very good to myself just because I have to endure another procedure :lol: . It does help a...
This news took me my surprise. Maybe denial is a better word. So much respect and admiration for BB. He lived every moment. Prayers for all who loved him. He is missed.
