Made me mad
I was watching the Today Show this morning, the one where Hoda and Kathy Lee are on. I think they were discussing Michael Douglas, I do know it was about someone who had cancer. I was only halfway listening until Kathy Lee made a statement that I hear often from people who have not had cancer: "Yeah, attitude is…

I will catch hell for this post
Bobby, I will raze your Matthew 17:20 with a John23 telling me to eat weeds along with a damn good fart from my buddy Brooks. On top of that I will let Gail get pissed off about anything she damn well wants to. I will even listen to folks that want me to put coffee up my butt. I listen to the folks that love juicers mix…

TSA and ports and bags
I thought I would share this information. My mother has a port and her doctor asked if she was flying for the holiday because she probably would not pass through without any issues. He advised her to keep her medical card and bracelet with her to make sure she could advance through security.

Is this place a place to mention God??
Wow I am really shocked at how some people have attacked me after I posted some scriptures. The subject line clearly showed the post was about religion. If you are a person who does not believe in God and this I totally respect then why would you even open up the post? We all have the God given ability to post what ever we…

Prayer to Saint Peregrine O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you.

OK, I know this sounds really wierd but here goes... For the past week or so, I've noticed this regular kind of tickle or rumblimg in my liver area.

FOLFOX #3 turned me into a tourist!
Round #3 So … I did well this round as I didn’t have a reaction during infusion. Woo Hoo! Seems the double Benadryl push, one at the beginning and one half way through works for me. So glad to get through an infusion without a reaction. One thing though is that I felt crummy before half way … remember I am at a 6 hour…

IRE/nanoknife
This topic has been mentioned before but I think it needs a some more attention.

My insurance company had turned me down earlier this month but…

Well, I’m just about at the end of my rope now, I’m swinging by a thread here. This radiation has beaten me and has me on the ropes – combined with the 5fu pump, I’ve begun to really take a whippin’. I’m breathing very hard right now, gasping for breath sometimes…and there is pain in the front and back of my lung…
