lohidoc -- Just checking... did you get any socks for your birthday???

No, I got an emergency MRI. I'll tell the story when I know more.

I hope he goes easy. My thoughts are with you.

I've been following your posts. My thoughts are with you.

Nobody wants to see good work, commitment, training etc go unrewarded. But I agree with Laurettas. There is a difference between profit and profiteering. A generation ago things seemed to be different. The chairman of GM would respond, when asked, that the purpose of his company was to make good car...

I'm sorry, Lohidoc. Cancer is bad enough without going through all the crap you've had to deal with. This is probably a really dumb question, but does your pharmacy know that you're with the Trillium Drug Plan? The drug plan should be paying for your prescriptions right at the pharmacy. The way it ...

Lung lesions can persist for a very long time without causing major symptoms. Remember you can live a perfectly normal life with just one lung. If a lesion is near a major structure such as a large bronchus it can cause symptoms, but some palliative radiotherapy can relieve that. If a lesion is near...

lohidoc -- if you applied for the Trillium Drug Plan, your application has probably been denied since you're on disability. Try applying for Ontario Drug Benefits -- just search "application for Ontario drug benefits" on Google. If that's what you applied for and you're still waiting 6 mo...

I am so sorry about this. I wish you both strength.

Take my situation: self employed, so no coverage (like most Canadians I assumed our universa...

I don't do hockey because I am not really Canadian. But thanks for the thought. Anti-neuropathy socks would be good!

Thanks, I could do with a new pair of socks (virtual).

May 22. Haven't celebrated in 40 years.

Maybe Pog, maybe. But he didn't exactly crawl into a hole to die after his diagnosis did he? In fact, his bursts of activity since his diagnosis suggest a strong will to live and have an impact before he dies.

It is scientifically proven that animals have a sixth sense. They can predict earthquakes, forest fires, hurricanes and of course death. I have a dog who can predict her own feeding time! Also walks, treats and camping trips. Right now there is a squirrel outside my trailer looking at me. I can tell...

And good to see you too skypup. I am surprised that you have been seen by a pain specialist, that you have tried a variety of narcotics, that your pain relief is inadequate and nausea is a problem. And yet no one has suggested fentanyl patches. Same indication as for all narcotics, ie moderate to se...
