Almost 4 years ago, we had great insurance, still do. Doesn't Canada have national healthcare?

Maybe it's time to go to the ER. Can't believe that your surgeon is this unresponsive.

I have serious sleep issues and anxiety. This all happened before my RC diagnosis. I take 2 Trazadone and a 12.5 mg Ambien CR every night. I also take a half of a .25 Xanax at bedtime and in the morning. I sleep 6-7 hours a night and have no sleepiness during the day. I can also take a .25 Xanax as ...

I am so sorry for your loss and so sure that Mike knew of your love. I can only say I'm so sorry

Personally, I would find such a delay totally unacceptable. I had my surgery done on a Wednesday afternoon and my surgeon called me at 4:30 pm on Friday. I cannot even imagine waiting this long. Last April I had gallbladder/appendix surgery. As is normal, the body parts were sent for pathology. I go...

I believe most of your questions about what to do, why your back or side hurts should be directed to your surgeon, as he/she knows your specific case....

If his Cancer was service related, such as Agent Orange, then he will continue to get disability for any Cancer related issues. My guess, because it has to be service related, is that he is getting it for the problem in his back. Contact your local DAV group or the VA itself for information on your ...

I had a 4-5 cm polypoid mass very near my anus at colonoscopy. The GI gave me a probable treatment plan of chemo/radiation, surgery and a permanent colostomy . Biopsy was inconclusive. Went for a second opinion. That dr scheduled me for a surgical procedure to get better pathology. When he got in th...

Sharon,

You have my deepest condolences. I can't even imagine what you are going through.

Kathy

Happy birthday to two special people!
