Just venting
I want to come from a place of love in terms of how I feel about or treat other people but sometimes I get irritated over the petty complaints of others. People get so focused on themselves sometimes they forget that there are a lot more things to worry about than the small stuff. I guess it is just me. Even before cancer…

Complication
My husband has been able to receive only one chemo treatment this time, which was four weeks ago. Since then, his kidney count has been too high and was continuing to rise until he was hospitalized two days ago. They've also found a bacterial infection in his blood and urine. First priority is to find an antibiotic for…

The Radiologist said he wanted to…

PET Scan
I'm having my second PET tomorrow. I have to go on a low carb diet (only meat, eggs, cheese, and green vegetables). Is this for every one or just because I am diabetic? I have friends coming in to town to go out with us to supper. I guess I'll just have to have a plain salad or chef's salad with no dressing. Thanks, Debbie…
