Re: Night before chemo. Thinking of giving up...

Hello my friend. Like others on here have said, you have nothing to lose by trying it. Everyone reacts differently to certain drugs. You can quit at anytime. As for myself, I'm a year and a half post chemo. I still have no regrets about quitting. My QOL is really good and I've lived almost a normal ...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

I let my curiosity get the best of me. I have agreed to have another CT scan to see how much more the cancer has spread. It's been nine months since the last one. I had disallowed any more scans but the doctors are perplexed at my continued good health. They want to study my case more closely and as...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

I took my BFF to the fair. We had a blast. He did not want to go on the rides alone. It was rather hilarious to see me all crouched up in a kiddie ride along side my BFF ! We filled up on junk food and candy floss. It was the most fun I've had at a fair in a long time. I saw the doctor recently. She...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

From the very beginning, I have had a very cavalier attitude towards this whole cancer thing. I have always been, and will continue to be the poster boy for what NOT to do if you develop cancer. Despite this, next month will mark my 6 year stage 4 cancerversery. Why I am still around is a mystery to...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

Mirrors don't lie. Lucky for me they don't laugh either. Ever since I did chemo, I've had to keep my hair very short. When it grows out, it seems like each individual hair has its own hairstyle. When I look in the mirror, it reminds me of the Dagwood comic strip. I keep telling myself that I'm not g...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

My son asked me the other day if you can catch AIDS from a toilet seat. I said " only if you sit down before the other fella gets up. " I think that we'd find more missing kids if we posted their pictures on the T-shirts of large breasted woman instead of on milk cartons. Did you know ? Li...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

I think Mrs Frenchie is on to me. She noticed her good candles were missing. I haven't seen her move this fast since she fielded my advances at the beginning of our courtship. Even my super powers were no match for her quick evasive moves !! I will just have to be patient. She has to fall asleep at ...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

BS, The reason for the injections verses pills issue is that injections only last 24 hrs in the body while pills stay in your system for 5 days. If I start bleeding out again, they hope to stop the bleeding sooner. Another challenge has been placed on my plate. Now I have to walk a tightrope between...

Re: PICC line

I had bad luck with a pic line. It created blood clots in my arm, which caused a pulmonary embolism. I almost died.

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

I am caught between a rock and a hard place right now. I was on blood thinners for years after suffering a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. I have a lot of blood clots caused by a pic line during one of my many operations. About 3 months ago, I started bleeding internally. To stem the flow, the d...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

I'm getting a handle on this Satin worshiping thing. It's not that hard really. There's a lot of fire involved. You sleep with a few virgins. You paint your nails black. You never smile. You drink a little blood , cast a few spells then have a huge orgy. Wow ! I can get used to this. Before the orgy...

Now that I'm going to hell, I have to start praying to Satin I've got to get Mrs Frenchie's good candles out and put them in a circle. I have to buy myself one of those " Spell " books. I wonder if Chapters carries those ? I have to start wearing dark clothing and using black eyeliner. The...

Re: The Grim Reaper took another swipe at me !!

These past ten days have been really hard on me. I over extended myself during our trip and my body had to adjust. I've been in and out of bed constantly. I have no regrets. I'll do it again if the occasion presents itself. I was thinking about going to heaven but decided that I'd rather go to hell ...
