Hi everyone.
Been "off air" for a few weeks. Been admitted to hospital again. I fell of the hospital bus which shuttles patients around our very spread out hospital. It was raining & I slipped on the box (yes a plastic box - space age tecnology here down under) the drive put down to help me get off. If we lived anywhere but NZ I could sue for millions but you can't for accidents here as we have state coverage for all accidents that picks up the tab.They thought I had fractured my hip (I was being zapped for left hip tumour)& was admitted for MRI etc. No fracture but soft tissue damage & a lot of pain. It has set me back a bit but I still grin when I look at my new car. Also now getting some cumulative effects from Xeloda (like the trots if you know what I mean) but apart from that I am responding as marker numbers are really dropping now & there is no limit to the amount of xeloda they can give as long as I respond so keep praying for me my friends.
Love & Hugs
Pam

Hi Pam. I'm so sorry you have to go through more pain. Somehow it doesn't seem fair that 1 person has to have so many problems. I always think and pray for you. As I've said before, you're a special person whom we all look up to! Thank you for being there. Thank you for keeping us informed about how you are doing! Take care. HUGS!! Cathy0

Pam's wild ride!
Pam, Pam, Pam!!! *shaking head* And why were ye' not driving your new car around this complex?!? *teasing grin* As I was reading, I thought the reference to falling off of the "hospital bus" was something to do with keeping out of the hospital... akin to an alcoholic "falling off the wagon"! *grin*
Ok, do you have access to homeopathic Arnica?? Please contact me if you need any info... you should have Arnica 30c with you all the time! It's great for bruising, shock, pain, etc. It will still help even a bit after the fact/accident. I am at your disposal, use me! *smiles*
Slightly more serious... thank you for keeping us up to date! It was WONDERFUL... the high point of my day.. my week, my month! to hear of your markers!! Go Xeloda, GO PAM!!!
We are all right here behind you- trying not to push! *impish grin* No more slippery boxes for you, missy!
Be well Pam, have fun!!!
Love,
Marty in Michigan, US

Hello Pam,
I am sorry you have had a slight set back but it finally sounds like they have found something that is really helping you, for that I am very grateful. I am so glad to hear that your keeping ON keeping ON and yes smile you must, for that hubby is a great person to think so much about you, for that you are very fortunate, but then again you don't have to be told that, sounds like you already know he is.
Hang in there my friend. I hope that you heal quickly from your latest fall and that you continue to have improved results with this treatment.
Glad to hear from as I always am,
Be good to yourself,
Tara0
