Glitches
I'm sure that there are going to be several glitches for them to fix before all falls into place. I'm not able to comment either. It's going to take some getting used to but glad to have a new forum modification. Thanks CSN for the upgrade. Kim

Is this a temporary malfunction or it's part of the design of the new software ?
Why if I create a thread in the display says it has been created by other? There is no way to know who is writing unless you open all the threads ! Crazy. Also concerning the avatars ,do I have to load my avatar again? . Hugs mates!

The kindness of Law Enforcement
This evening my daughter was out and saw what appeared to be a large convoy of police vehicles making their way south on interstae 81 (we live in most northern VA). She was wondering what in the world was going on. Here is text of an article which explains it: _____________________________________________________ All a…

LizzyDavis
After PM to her several days ago to see how she was doing, just got this response from her husband. So I'm saddened to say that Lizzy has passed. She will be missed on this board but I'm glad that she is no longer suffering. "I just found Lou Ann's password to this site tonight after many attempts and trying to email the…

Can't blame the US Postal Service
The circumstances of life, commitments to family, and the delay in finding the holiday spirit within, has led to my not getting my Christmas cards mailed out. So, instead, I have placed on my expressions page for you. Please be sure to click on the image to enlarge it. May each of you find much in your hearts to celebrate…

Tongue Sores
Oh the irony of life. Just yesterday I told my friend that I was feeling good. God laughed and today I woke up with tongue sores and foot pain. I am sure I was not out partying last night so this is chemo related. Doctor called in a prescription for Magic Mouthwash. Does anyone know how quick this works?

From The Frying Pan To the Fire..........UPDATE
Just jumping in to wish all my friends a pleasant holiday season. Hope all who celebrate have your shopping done. This weekend, it will probably be a zoo out there.

My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer about 2 1/2 years ago. They also found two spots on his liver. He immediately had surgery on his colon. It was very successful. Once…

Advice for Colostomy bag
My sister had to have a colostomy last week due to a bowel obstruction. I do feel that she is going to have a better quality of life since she spent most of her time in the bathroom with either constipation or diarrhea. The good news is that they feel that her new chemo Zaltap is working. The obstruction was from the…

how long are you usually on chemo before taking a break?
The reason I ask is because my wife has had three treatments so far and it is already wiping her out. She had real bad neuropathy (sp?) This last time. She is also so tired and has no energy. We are thinking asking her dr to lower the dose so the side effects wont be so bad. Is that a wise decisionI dont know how much more…

Anyone have a Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)?
Hello, I have had three attempts to remove precancerous flat polyps, without success. The doctor first suggested some sort of advanced endoscopic removal technique, then later said surgery to remove the polyps was the definitive treatment, and gave me a referral for a general surgeon. After reading about surgery, I didn't…

Checking in
I have not been on the boards in a while due to taking care of some other health concerns -- a three month program of aquatic physical therapy to try and deal with my oxaliplatin nerve damage in my feet, and then a pelvic surgery two weeks ago to prevent future cancer there after a cancer scare this fall. Anyway, I just…

Off topic and just for fun! *** 12/21/12
Ok, we've all heard the hoopla about this Friday being the end of the world. I jokingly say that it's the day when all the Mayans come back to life to kill every one. Why else would there be such a huge influx of zombie movies and TV shows lately? I decided to start this post to see what everyone here thinks will happen on…

Can I drink alcohol with Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin?
I enjoy one or two glasses of wine in the evening and perhaps a martini once a week in the afternoon. I’ll be starting Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin this Thursday and will have the injections once a week for six weeks and then I will have two weeks off. Should I totally give up alcohol during the entire treatment…

Social Security in other countries?
Hi, with all this talk of fiscal cliff and tax increases, etc... Just curious if anyone here knows what other countries do with their retirees? I mean, I assume most non 3rd world countries (ex. for USA) have universal health care, but do they have a program similar to social security? What do they live on? Do they pay…
