Hey all, I am home from the ER after being diagnosed with DVT to left leg just two weeks after finding the ruptured discs (3) not exactly feeling wonderful. Found it it is easier to give others injections than myself . Kudos to all of you who have been doing diabetes meds all your life. Don't have m...

Olivia, so great to hear from you, sorry you are going through this pain and emotional agony. You are so loved by so many of us ((((hug))).

Sky, kpjpmom,
It seems like we are all in the same leaky boat. Just thinking about my old dog and tying lose ends together. This part of the journey is becoming a bit surreal, I am so glad that I have this thread to come to. Glad I have a community of friends who understand.

Haven't been around for quite awhile but have missed everyone so decided to come back. This is not meant to be a whine but more of a reflection. Went to e.r. for back pain, found the herniated disc s but no mets. Saw my onc and he talked me into skipping ct due the same day. Had a long talk about ne...

Just don't know what to say except Belle will be sorely missed. Belle was an inspiration to each and every one of us. Condolences and comfort to her family.

I have basically the same joint problems with spinal degeneration and my onc did admit it is chemo caused. I do strength training for seniors and Tai chi for arthritis. Tai chi has he...

The first scan to show anything after my first remission showed a cluster of Peri mets. Iwas put on folfox and avastin and they did not show up three months later. Never know for sure why it worked (was told it probably would not) but it did. This disease is very fickle, goes where it wants and it's...

Skypup, I know we don't always get the results that we want but at this stage of our game I think we pretty much get what we expect. Sorry your scan wasn't clear but mostly stable keeps you in the game. I am doing rso(rick Simpson oil) which is no picnic either but at least I feel like I am doing so...

"Point of know return" Kansas". Ya ya I know my age is showing but love the music loud. Picture little old white hair lady in her 89Honda wagon... Windows down dog hanging out window and Kansascranked up.
Yup that's me
