    Welcome back
    Hi Donna!

    So sorry you had such a rough time - we were all praying for you and sending good thoughts and hugs your way - you were very missed.

    So glad you are home with your family and hope you will be feeling better each and every day. Take good care of yourself.

    Hugs and good wishes,
    Donna

    WooHoo!!
    YOU'RE BACK!! And you were missed greatly. My prayers have been answered for you and your family.

    Palliative is "chronic". It just means exactly what you said, they don't expect the pain to go away and will need to be managed. The palliative team is a good thing! I hope you feel better very soon.

    Hugs,

    Kimby

    Question for you, Donna
    Donna said:

    I know my liver is bad, and I believe is inoperable, but I'm still not ready to go yet. I have some more fight in me.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I was sorry to see this remark. I thought your scan was 'good' and this seems to say your liver has not responded to chemo so far.

    Please hang on tight, girl! I know you can do this.

    A bit late, sorry...traveling....
    As far as your concern about so many surgeries....in one year...actually within 6 months, I had a bowel resection with J-pouch procedure, a lumpectomy (for my breast cancer), and a small bowel resection when, just like you, the 'resting' of the small bowel for 4 days (whew! 4 days without food, in a shared room, with people who COULD eat...sigh...) didn't work, and they used the same incision to take out 3 inches of small bowel.

    Please, please take it VERY slow here...I did, and it really worked. I added back non-spicy, low bulk stuff first, a bit at a time. Then on to other stuff.

    Not to make you nervous, but to alert you...I ended up having 8 more 'partial' obstructions, but cleared them all myself...using the same thing they did in the hospital...LOTS of water and walking....none of the others needed hospital visits...after a year, there were no more.

    Welcome back, and take care of yourself!

    Hugs, Kathi

    First of all , welcome back. As you can see, you were missed. second of all, anytime you are stage 4 they call everything palliative care because in the medical community if you are stage 4 you are considered incurable, but that is their by the book method. We all know better by the amount of stage 4 people here who have proven them wrong. Doctors follow a known protocal but people cannot be put in a box. Any one of us could surprise the hell out of them. Besides, God is bigger than all that and attitude makes a big difference but I know that you definitely do not have a problem with that. You probably have your times like all of us, but overall you seem to stay pretty positive. There are many people here who care about you and will continue to pray for you. I am glad everything went as well as expected but I`m sorry you were run through the ringer.
