My dad had that rare stuff that your, late wife had...
You have my heartfelt condolences...

I am sorry about your dad. I contribute regularly to the specific cancer foundation that funds research on it. I think my step kids are at greatest risk. That cancer like most GI cancers is ugly and painful.

 

[ImpishSeraph]

you mean prostate cancer? On the Gleason scale it’s the lowest with no sign of spread. And I am more likely to die of something else. We are watching blood markers and imaging like MRI.

I was talking about prostate. I must have misinterpreted. I'm glad yours is slow growing

You drink motor oil?

Question. How many of you wear face masks as a rule when out in the public?

I dont...but people should do what they are comfortable with

 

[Justplainjeff]

Unfortunately I’m a heathen Canadian and hockey is my drug

I understand the b ball tourney is very popular though

Living near Seattle, I was rooting for Edmonton, just like last year.

I will when incident rates increase for communicable diseases like the flu.

I agree, I've just happened to notice, anecdotally, I see more people wearing them now than I remember over the last year. Was just curious as to what might be driving that. Again, anecdotal.

We aren't following for flu and covid right now...we are however tracking rising rates of measles.... if you had more vaccine before 1970...likely will need a booster ..

That is what the docs at work are saying

It was 1.5 miles..I traced my route on an app

Not sure..maybe other diseases that affect immune system

Thank you very much.... yes, it's a tough one.

You drink motor oil?

Well, I've "taste tested" the motor oil... as well as most of the drilling and completion fluids that we haul, but what you see in the pic, is just a well seasoned coffee glass.

What is a "dry fast?"

And, you seem new here. Welcome!

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

The best rules!

Pardon me ma'am, can you take the next caller and come back to me? I'm really enjoying the hold music.

I’ve been on once a day since I had the initial reaction in November but never twice. It should have kept this from happening and it didn’t, steroids should have brought it down but after almost two months it hasn’t, so after checking blood work to make sure I can tolerate it, I’m trying it twice a day. Instead of just once.
I need this resolved and off this Ned entirely so I can try one that could throw me into remission but reacts with this drug. It’s kind of frustrating.
I took the second one about 90 mins ago and so far so good.

So it’s almost 2pm and I’m just waking up! Luckily I pretty much took today off just in case.
I got a leg cramp or I wouldn’t have gotten up. Pain is still there but involuntary scream when I go from lying to upright didn’t happen.
Maybe doubling up this med for a week will work!
I’m so sick of steroids.

I did my PT stretches after I took my pain meds. Oh am I sore! Heating pad is next.

I find a warm shower after pt helps a lot

Pardon me ma'am, can you take the next caller and come back to me? I'm really enjoying the hold music.

A couple months ago, I recognized this hold music as this pretty obscure classical piece based on a Chinese minority group folk music played by a group that I know. I asked the office about it and they said they didn’t know what it was but everyone loves it. I told them what it was and I let the group know too. I could listen to that all day.

Hey Boat…did I hear your mom or wife was feeling bad? Hard to keep up on these threads…

Here’s to her getting better!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Best wishes HDH.

Thanks Tweedledude…she’s in good spirits which is half the battle. We haven’t focused on it and the only real thing that’s brought it home is she’s asked me if I know how to open the safe “in case anything happens…”. So keeping my fingers crossed and saying some prayers we get another 20 with her!

Is the endometrial cancer confined to her uterus? I have always had endometriosis, so pieces of it (non-cancerous) were all over my cavity from lungs to pelvic. I'm hoping, for her, it's confined.

Yes, confined to uterus. They also said it was slow moving, so that is a relief. We’re hoping the hysterectomy gets all the evil out of her.

I’ve lost too many family members to cancer. Don’t want to lose another.
