Best wishes for hubby, on the journey. For heart AND Type 2 friendly diet suggestions pick up a copy of the South Beach HEART diet program by Dr. Agatston. The Phase 1- two week diet, is based on controlling the prediabetic type blood glucose issues, and lists lots of good foods to eat and what to a...

Continued prayers and best wishes to you both. Glad you are back at home now, as I don't think we ever really truly get any kind of rest or relaxation in the hospital.

Hey AngelaW, Prayers and best wishes coming your way for the waiting game. You are a huge inspiration to us all here, and we appreciate all you have shared with us and what you yourself have endured on your journey. I still crack up when I recall your famous "T & A" post a while back. ...

Well done...keep those good results coming !!!

No big deal ! Contrasts can check for leaks, surface irregularities, colon diameter and masses in th...

Hi Wamo and Paul, I posted over in BradyR's thread about how I got back from holidays and couldn't really come to grips with some news I was reading here about you and BradyR. You both have been a huge inspiration on this board and I just wanted to say that you are always in our hearts and prayers. ...

never had any issues once I had the ileo nurses fix me up with the right appliances and got a good fit.

check out <http://www3.mdanderson.org/depts/hcc/summer99/surgarticle.htm> for a retraining info article and make sure you have contacted a good onco nutritionist who can help with the dietary issues. I am approaching 1 year post ileo takedown and am still getting use to some things. Most things are ...

Wow ! I have just returned from a Christmas holiday, and when I checked in here, I was not prepared for what I heard. I have read these threads three times...well not really. I just could not digest some of the things we are discussing. Life is ....what it is......Yes, I guess I know that. I learned...

I have my radiotherapy planning session tomorrow. This is followed by an operation to move my ovaries up out of the path of radiation. My chemoradiotherapy starts on 2 February. All very good and positive news for you ! Congratulations !!! I'm feeling pretty low right now - everything is just a lit...

Think I may have posted with the same intent earlier ???? Can't blame it on chemo brain now tho', so I will weigh in again, "O Holy Night" "Lean On Me" gotta be 2 of the best, although I still have undying passion for Jimi doin' Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" Cheers...
