    Hi John,
    That's exactly what

    Hi John,

    That's exactly what I thought they should have something to help yourself stay in place.
    They put a foam wedge under my knees and thats it!

    They put small foam wedges under my back that go out to help hold my elbows up, but they usually get knocked off when the machine rolls around.

    I was "kickin", now it resembles a muscle spasm in my toe! lol

    I have eleven more treatments to go. Gulp!

    Your friend

    Mike

    I just have the mask
    Mike,
    I have only my mask to hold me in place. I also have the foam wedges behind my knees, but think they're for comfort. I have what feels like metal clips that just push down on the tops of my shoulders - when I asked if they were to hold me in place, my rad tech said "no, that's the mask. These keep your shoulders out of the field.".

    Here's hoping that toe spasm builds momentum again. 11 days.

    At your stage I was on Morph and ice, with the PEG fully operational. Sounds like you're a bit worse-off than I experienced, because of the upper-lip. Mike, I'm 16-month, had gained all my weight back some 8-months after the last Rad, and even returned to work a month after that last Rad. You are living the rough times, Mike. And your times appear to be a lot rougher than a number of others. You just gotta fight the good fight, Mike, and know beyond any and all doubt that you WILL win this battle. As I've recovered at the end of my battle, so will you. Weeks #2-6 were so wonderful for me that they culminated in my spending the first four days of week #6 in a hospital, getting Morph shot into the Port on an hourly basis, along with extreme antibiotics. Thing is, Mike, I turned the corner over the last two days I spent in the hospital- that's when my recovery began, even though I still had over two weeks of Rads yet to go thru. So it was with my battle. What you are living, Mike, is just your battle. As man, Mike, all one can do is have his shirtsleeves rolled-up, fists clenched, wear yourself a nasty grin, and Pray. Hey, you ever wonder what it woulda been like to step in a ring with a prize fighter? Happening now, Mike, and you are up to the task at hand. With me, my opponent didn't know I have a Floyd Patterson left hook. And, remember- you have some important players in your corner:

    MAKE SURE THE DRS. KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING IN THIS FIGHT- they are in this battle with you, as are the Nurses. Also, you must get your nutrition, Mike- this is a MUST. You have to give your body the ammo it needs to win this battle.

    Believe, Mike.

    Thanks guys and gals. Today
    Thanks guys and gals.

    Today was rough, as I realize all Mondays are now. After a weekend of no hydration, I wake up very dizzy, can barely walk and have to have my daughter help hold me up until I get there,lie down and get hooked up for hydration.

    I'm still waiting for the new liquid food to arrive, it better get her soon, I lost another 8 pounds.

    After we were through we were near the main hospitals ER and my daughters ulcer was tearing her up with nausea and pain so I had her looked at in the ER, but since she's still 17 she is seen in the Doernbecher's Children's Hospital's ER, a few feet away from the main ER.

    While there, my brother contacted me to let me know that his daughter, who has three small children, 5, 3 and 1 1/2, had all just been physically abused by her boyfriend. He also hurt her as well. He was arrested and she left her home, two hours away, and went to her dad's for protection and to have the injury to her spine looked at by a specialist here.

    The smallest one could not put any weight on his foot from what he did. Child Protective Services were brought in, along with a few other authorities, they wanted her and the kids to all be checked out. So here I am, with my daughter, who got her ulcer from the daily abuse by her mother's boyfriend and now here's my brother, with his daughter, and his grand kids, all injured by her boyfriend.

    Then we learn that they released the guy from jail because of over crowding and that she hadn't filed charges against him. She was so upset they had to give her a sedative to calm her down. She had told the arresting police officers several times that she was filing charges. So now she has to go back to file charges.

    The ER doctors and nurses were amazed they released the guy. By 11:30pm, we learned they were admitting the smallest child for further testing, due to what they saw from x-raying his body.

    People that purposely hurt children are a total waste of skin, they should not share the same air with the rest of the population and should be terminated.

    I definitely have a good reasons to fight through this damned illness and this barbaric treatment regimen, and that's to put myself in charge of the retirement plans for these two child abusing bastards. Unfortunately, their plans don't look so good.

    Thank you everyone for your encouragement, I'm exhausted from this long stressful day and I need to turn the brain off.

    HI Mike,

    Sorry ti hear your family is going through the nightmare or an abuser of children let alone your own duaghter. I share your views my friend and just hope you legal & prison system will 'take care' of them. Child abusers do not fair well in Australian prisons and are labelled 'Rock Spiders'. I assume the same happens in the US. Save your energy for now to fight your fight.

    I hope you get some relief soon re your liquid foods. We are all thinking about you and sending the good vibes.

    Both my

    G'Day Scambuster,

    Both my children were abused by my ex's boyfriend. My 14 year old son has leukemia and cannot walk due to both legs being surgically reconstructed, so running away to a safe place was out of the question. This guy purposely physically hurt him.

    I would love to be the warden of a prison made just for these kind of people, they would think Hell was a vacation.

    Thank you for your encouragement Scambuster.

    Sometimes it seams like the hold world is just gone crazy, there is a guy here arrested in Louisiana for killing his girlfriend 2 years son. What harm can a 2 year old do to a grown man that he would beat the kid to death, how sick can a person be. Then there was a guy who we all worked with for years, everyone thought he was a very nice guy did all his work and on time, never a problem. Until he was caught by the internet police trying to buy sex from a 13 year girl, I too don’t understand it and wonder how sad our world has become and how the Laws protect the criminal more then the victims.

    If you get that job as Warden call me I would love to be the guy on the furnace handle keeping Hell HOT for people who hurt these little ones…

    awful for your brothers daughter
    here in Florida, when injury has occurred, the state automatically
    presses charges even if the victim changes her mind. protective measure to victims too
    afraid to press on.

    Hi Hondo and
    Hi Hondo and thegirlfriend,

    That's exactly what this backwards **** state of Orygun needs, some intelligent law makers to put laws like that in place that are based on common sense!

    I swear they filmed the movie "Deliverance" here and they didn't need to use actors!
    Everyday I here banjos here.

    Here in Portland, some law enforcement officers shoot unarmed, burnt, naked people, instead of the real criminals.

    There are so many "deal making" District Attorneys in this state. The last time the retarded puke attacked my daughter, the local D.A. didn't even charge him for hurting her, but instead charged him for breaking a "No Contact Order". Then the waste of skin D.A. pleaded that completely out. And to think, we pay these people to protect the victims and seek justice.

    He spent a total of 6 hours behind bars and my kids are still in ongoing heavy counselling.

    Hondo my friend, you got a deal! Get that sucker hot!

    I better sign off before I say too much, as this issue is a very exposed nerve to me.

    Plus, they will probably find a reason to shoot me, while I'm taking a shower. lol

    I know, they will confuse my Fentynal "lolly pop" for a weapon!

    Okay okay, I'm off.

    Hi my friend,

    I think you are right on the number. Just as you described to me the other day, I'm noticing the pain level rising rapidly as I get closer to the end.

    I had some success getting 600 calories in my PEG yesterday and almost that today. I found in the grocery store some canned nectar drinks. Each can(pop can size)has 200 calories.
    There are a couple different brands out there, but the "Jumex" brand has the most calories.

    I also had one of those milk drinks that's supposed to resemble a milkshake. It has 200 calories per 8oz. serving and it comes in a 16oz. container.
    I did notice having more energy today.

    I will be glad when the canned food gets here, as it has 600 calories per can.

    I'm heading off to bed, as I am pretty loopy from the lolly pop.

    God Bless

    Hi John and Hondo,

    I only had radiation today, when I got home I laid down for a nap at 1:30pm and I woke up at 7:30pm. I think it all caught up with me.

    The back of my neck is all scabs and sores, but I have been noticing a lot of soreness and achyness in my shoulder muscles, below my neck. I got another mirror and looked at my backside and saw that the skin was dark and grayish down about 8 inches below my neck and over to my right shoulder blade.

    When I got to radiation today I asked the tech about it and he said" that's normal, we're radiating you from here up" He pointed to where his nipples would be and up to his nose.
    Just the other day he did the same thing, but he told me it was from the top of the chest bone up. Can radiation cook your heart, or some other important organ? I'm beginning to think that no matter where you get burns that they would say "that's normal". lol

    After this I may need extensive counselling before I can ever put another steak on the barbecue!

    Hi Sweets, I'm so glad to
    Hi Sweets,

    I'm so glad to hear from you, I was getting very worried that you had a setback.

    Today before I laid down for a nap I had a loud knocking at the front door and I thought it would be UPS delivering my food. I had to hold back my laughter when I answered the door, as it was a Mexican gentleman who apparently supplied the previous family that had lived here with Tamales. lol


    It turned out that the baby has a fractured leg and now has a cast on that he doesn't like very much. My brother has been with the other two boys constantly and he told me today that he can't believe the degree of anger and filthy language that comes out of the two boys mouths.

    The oldest is 4, not 5 as I had thought. He said that the oldest constantly play acts with whatever he can get in his hands to pretend it's a sword or knife and then curses loudly that he's going to kill the ****. (his mother) Then the younger brother copies him saying the same things. My brother told me that while the CPS worker was interviewing the kids at my brothers apartment, he got to see the kids doing this behavior and became very angry at what he was seeing as result of the boyfriends domination and abuse.

    Both boys have not had a night yet that hasn't been filled with nightmares and crying.

    CPS said the boys will be going through heavy counselling, as well as mom.

    Yes Sweets, I can't agree with you more regarding terminating waste of skin child molesters and abusers.

    Hi Sweets, I'm so glad to
    Hi Sweets,

    I'm so glad to hear from you, I was getting very worried that you had a setback.

    Today before I laid down for a nap I had a loud knocking at the front door and I thought it would be UPS delivering my food. I had to hold back my laughter when I answered the door, as it was a Mexican gentleman who apparently supplied the previous family that had lived here with Tamales. lol


    It turned out that the baby has a fractured leg and now has a cast on that he doesn't like very much. My brother has been with the other two boys constantly and he told me today that he can't believe the degree of anger and filthy language that comes out of the two boys mouths.

    The oldest is 4, not 5 as I had thought. He said that the oldest constantly play acts with whatever he can get in his hands to pretend it's a sword or knife and then curses loudly that he's going to kill the ****. (his mother) Then the younger brother copies him saying the same things. My brother told me that while the CPS worker was interviewing the kids at my brothers apartment, he got to see the kids doing this behavior and became very angry at what he was seeing as result of the boyfriends domination and abuse.

    Both boys have not had a night yet that hasn't been filled with nightmares and crying.

    CPS said the boys will be going through heavy counselling, as well as mom.

    Yes Sweets, I can't agree with you more regarding terminating waste of skin child molesters and abusers.

    Child Abusers
    It is a sad thing to hear how some people can be so shocking on how and what they teach there children. My father was a seaman and when he would come home if we did anything he did not like he would beat us with out any mercy, I am glad that my Mother was there to stop him or he would have killed us. There marriage did not last long


    Take care my friend

    I'm so very sad to hear you
    I'm so very sad to hear you went through that as well Hondo. I too had a father that shouldn't have had any children, he had an incredible temper.

    He had a habit of kicking you in the tail bone as you walked away from him. When I was 15 I was 6 foot and 200lbs. and after a brief argument I turned to walk away and I knew what was coming. I had had my fill, so I turned and caught his foot as it was coming towards me and shoved it up towards the ceiling and then I stepped on his other foot that was on the floor.
    As he stood there in pain, doing the splits, I told him if he ever touched me again, it would hurt him, not me! After that he started being nicer to me and we finally became friends.

    Unfortunately, I had to wait until I was big enough to protect myself. These poor helpless children are defenseless and have to rely on their mother and when mom is also being beaten and mind controlled the kids don't have any protection until the mother takes a big risk for her and the kids by contacting law enforcement or Child Protective Services.

    Take care my friend,

    Mike

    How are you doing today, you are in the last full week of treatment, just up ahead is the finish line and soon you will be the one crossing it. I know it has all been hard but most of it is all behind you now.

    Take care my friend I am waiting at the 29th finish line for you.

    What a day!
    Hi Hondo,

    Yuppers, this is the final week! Yippie!!! It actually ends on Monday, the 29th.

    The day started off very scary, as radiation's machine had broken down earlier, and by the time I got out of there and home to change into dress clothes and drive back down town in heavy late afternoon traffic, I was almost late to court. That would have been very bad.

    When my crazy ex saw me enter the courtroom she couldn't stop staring at me, as I'm now 60lbs lighter, burnt swollen lips, big radiation sores on the back of my neck, radiation burns on both sides of my throat and surgery scars on my neck. (real hunk huh? lol)

    She then came to my part of the table that faces the judge and started putting her hands on me, and started crying, asking me if I had cancer, was I sick? I kept telling her to take her hands off me and go sit down. This went on for nearly five minutes and finally the judge entered the courtroom and she had to go back to the other end of the table.

    Then the judge started staring at me and said "I'm going to ask you a personal question".
    I responded with "Do I have to answer it in this arena?" He said "No, but I"m going to ask it anyway and if you do not want to answer it then just say that you decline to answer".

    He then said, "You look very different from almost 2 months ago, are you ill?" I said "I've been under the weather lately", he smiled at me, knowing I wasn't going to give him a strait answer if I could get away with it. He then asked, "Are you well enough to go through todays hearing?" I said "Yes". and that was the end of that. But the ex, who was so tearful and concerned a couple minutes before, immediately started bashing and blaming me for everything. The judge caught her lying and then put her under oath.

    In the end, the judge ruled against her motion in trying to get the previous judges Order of no parenting time, and no contact reversed.

    I'm so glad this is over. For her to get another chance at this in court in trying to get the "No Parenting Time or Contact Order" overturned, she would have to Ex Parte a judge and convince him to go against what todays judge ruled today. I don't see that happening any time soon.

    After the judge made his ruling, she started yelling at him, saying that she was taking this to the media. I was really hoping that he would hit her with contempt, but he knows she's nuts.

    Other than truly fearing that she might appear with a loaded gun and shoot my butt, I feel like a big load has been taken off. The kids were very happy when they found out the final results.

    Now, I can finally concentrate on making it through this final week.

    Thank you for your never ending words of encouragement.

    Your friend,

    Mike

    Yes!!
    Mike,
    What great news! So glad you have this one thing off of your plate. Wonderful that your kids can (hopefully) feel like the court system is really out to help them.

    I know what you mean about showing up in court looking a little worse for wear. I had to face my ex last month in court. Outside the courtroom was a sign saying that cell phones and hats were prohibited - my friend later said that was perfect, since no one could go against a pitiful bald woman. Very glad that the judge was wise enough to realize that even if you're very ill, you're the only acceptable option.

    So, 6 days? Great. Hope you can get this last leg completed, and get on to the business of speedy recovery. I'm almost 2 weeks since last chemo, nearly 1 since last rad, and I'm already showing signs of recovery. Hope it's at least as quick for you.
