Re: tired of money grubbing hospitals andthere politics! mda

This is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. As long as you have a disk any radiologist from anywhere can read it. To suggest that they can't, would mean a radiologist could only get one job at one hospital and they could never work anywhere else. Based on the crap you have been told they wou...

Re: Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Beers

This is one of the best things I have ever read. Thank you so much for posting. I have kids who seem to think the world owes them favor and they never seem to have enough. I am going to make a copy for them and hang it on the fridge to remind them how full their life is and to remind them that they ...

Re: Venting

Going down hill fast

I am really scared. Things change so very fast. Two months ago I was 100% functional. I had that one day where I was mad but other than that I have had a positive attitude through this whole thing. With the exception of when I first diagnosed, it has never entered my mind that things would end this ...

Re: scared to scan

I can only echo what everyone said. Get that scan. Deep down you had to know this would be everyones advice. I despise getting them too and get very anxious about them beforehand. Sometimes we just need to hear it from everyone else in order to light a fire under our butts. You know you need to find...

Re: obamacare?

weisssoccermom, you nailed it again. The trick is to figure out how to distinguish the abusers from those who are not. Here is an example....over and over again people will lie and state they have chest pain to get seen sooner. Just because and EKG and blood work may be normal does not prove they ne...

Re: Back in the saddle again...and a meeting with a fellow C

I guess we knew it was coming. Chris has been on a chemo break since May. Nothing remarkable was showing up on the CT scans done every two months except one slightly enlarged lymph node that may have been increasing in size ever so slightly. His CEA went from 3, to 5, to 12, to 16. So, we knew it w...

Re: obamacare?

I'd love to tell you that increasing costs on 'unhealthy' things like cigarettes and soda will stop people from using those products but sadly, that theory hasn't proved itself ....at least as of yet. In our state, cigarettes and soda are two products which ARE taxed at a higher rate and the rate o...

Re: obamacare?

I am very glad about the pre-existing condition stuff. This is very helpful for many people with all sorts of medical problems. I am a little concerned. I hope they have a plan in place to add more healthcare professionals to the work force. Our country will need to have enough providers so that the...
