But I'm finding different information and supposedly the tea you can buy isn't as good as when nurse Caisse made it with…

My mum used that expression, and this article, from BBC.com just makes me think that she had it right. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34153136 Sue - Trubrit
Not the CT scan results I wanted...
So I got my CT scan results from last week. Three spots showed up on my left lung. My onc doesn't know what they are.

So now I have to wait for a thoracic surgeon to see me and do a biopsy and they're going…

Ostomy Issue Questions
I've had my illeostomy for about a year and a half. I'm on a waiting list to have it reversed but the list is about a year long. This morning it leaked out from under the wafer. No big deal, it's happened the odd time. I went to replace it and discovered that it's now draining from a second spot. The area is under where I…
Feeling daring and made a big purchase
Today I purchased a (used) Jeep. A four year payment plan. I feel rather daring, seeing the Doctors gave me a five year limit three years ago. HA! I intend to pay the full four years (actually, pay it off sooner if I can) and get many, many years of fun in the mountains, out of it. Just thought I would share. Sue - Trubrit
