Rick,

I am not ok with you you not being ok right now. I hope you feel better and will enjoy living with your sister. It is nice to have company and someone to help you out I think.

I am sorry to read that you are feeling weak. Please don't give up. It could be that the blockage took a lot out of you and the hospital does the same remember. You were there a whole week.

Good thoughts to you.

I've always appreciated your input here and hope you will be able to regularly post again soon.

Best.

Rick, I'm so sorry to hear how about the fatigue. I am glad that your sisters are there to help you, and I'm hopeful that the next round of chemo will whack the tumors good enough that you can feel some relief, then on to the next round.

Prayers and thoughts are with you.

Glad to hear you are out of the hospital and at your sister's. That is nice that she has a separate apartment for you - a bit of privacy, but help nearby when you need it.

Just catching up, Rick and I'm so glad you're out of the hospital and at your sister's place but so sorry that you have to give up your independence. What a blessing to have sib support! I can't imagine moving in the midst of what's going on with you but, hopefully, you'll just have to serve in an advisory role. I so understand about the fatigue, it's everpresent and just went you think it can't get any worse, it does.

Haven't held anything down all day, not jellow or water or sports drink, nada.

Abdomen is painfully is painfully bloated, not even masked by 25 fenyenyl patch.

Gonna head to ER now, at least get some hydration.
Might be checking out og there inot hospice.

Take care, Rick
