Nitebreez, the chickens are swinging. Sorry it's been so hard for you. I am constantly amazed at the number of people who have been misdiagnosed, or spent months having tests, etc before discovering cancer. Astonished at how sneaky this rotten disease is for many. Ohhh,..thank you so much for the s...

I had a LOT of symptoms for several years. Ignored them. Too busy, I thought. I'm tough,..".whatever it is, always gets better after awhile" (I would tell myself). Finally, I was running high fever for a couple of days. My daughter called and said she was coming over to run me to the ER. &...

What a terrifying ordeal!!! So glad you both came through it safe. And praying they find the answer to what happened.

I LOVE popcorn!!!! But yeah,....it really doesn't love me back. Maybe that's 'cause I don't have a lick of sence about eating it,...and really overdo. So now I try to avoid it altogether. Not easy to do. (I hear it calling to me,...singing to me,...whispering to me). But I must resist. What's hard i...

My upcoming scan is not in the March 2 - 13th slot.....but it's on the 24th. I'm pretty full of "Scanxiety". This will be my first one since being declaired NED. Pretty scared that they may find something-- (I keep trying to stay positive, and not think about the negative stuff,, but that'...

Looooooove them old songs!!! (but I'm a tiny little OLD bird,,...so there y' go)

Well,.. My dear old Mom passed away recently at the age of 98. She was a life-long "cronic worry-wart". Finally,...in the nusing home she told me: ..."The things I aways worried about,...never came to pass. ....the stuff I didn't worry about, actually happened. So it just doesn't pay ...

I mainly just lurk around this forum,....and read everyone else's postings. But I miss seeing your postings, Gwen. And I miss your sweet, smiling avatar pic. I so hate this cancer stuff.

I swear the more I read that ( :shock: ) the more hilarious it is.......... A good way to analyze feces is to use some your senses. For example, use your sense of smell to determine the strength of the odor, or listen to how the feces falls into the water. A trained listener can calculate the densi...

I really hate this whole feeling fine one minute and then BAM...hit the brick wall of, "Aaaaaand you're done for the day." I know it's to be expected. I know it will get better with time (lots of time). But it doesn't make it suck any less. While lamenting this rather frustrating and unfo...

Greg,... sending good thoughts, prayers, etc. etc. etc. etc. your way. I think about you often. As you probably know,...I only have one child (my wonderful daughter). So I just cannot imagine in my wildest thoughts about losing her. I don't know what you must be going through to lose your most beaut...

Greg,.. I was so heart-broken when I read this. I knew by your thread title that something was not right. What a beautiful title for your most beautiful daughter. I cannot even imagine what you,...or anyone on this board, who has lost a child, must be going through. I'm really so glad it is I, who h...

...and here I thought beans and popcorn were bad.........

My mom died this morning at 8.30. It has been painless and I hope peaceful... so it seemed. Though sad, so terribly sad. I'm so very sorry, Olivia. I also recently lost my Mom, and I'm still sort of in a daze about it. Now mind you,..my Mom was almost 98 years old, and we had expected her to go soo...

Ray, thanks for your thoughts and insight. While I am currently not in the same place as you are, I realize there is a good chance I will be someday. Reading everyone's posts who are further along gives me a view of where my future may go. Having that knowledge can be scary but it is also empowerin...
