Hi Mark,
As I am sitting here

Hi Mark,

As I am sitting here drinking my morning cup of coffee, getting ready for our first day of school (elementary school secretary) I thought I would have a quick look in to catch any new postings, and read your post.

What a brave soul you are. It can't be easy to go into a classroom with the side effects of your medication. And then to lose a friend to cancer....Cancer is a terrible disease, but cancer does tend to bring out the best in people. I am glad you have a wonderful support in friends and family. What you said about this group is right on, as well. I also consider this group of people my friends and family. I have shared many private feelings and fears with you all and felt completely supported. Your words prove what a great group this is.

Thank you for making this morning a heartwarming one.

Hugs

Jojo

Thank you for this wonderful post! It is so true that cancer is a horrible thing, but sometimes it does make us understand what is important in life, how much we love our dear ones, amd that we can have true friends whom we've never seen but who are ready to celebrate our victories and support us in hard times...

I'm so grateful for this board that it gave me such friends - all of you!

thank you , and I wish you all long years of NED or controlled disease.

and congrats to all of you working in school or college with the beginning of new school year!

Sorry for the loss of your friend !

And I can appreciate what you are going through, as another illness I have prevents me from working due to cog Fog.

HOWEVER, what MDs never suggest or teach is how our brains need NUTRIENTS!! Inflammation on the brain and other

parts of our bodies cn be treated and improve, our livers, our body systems AND our BRAIN!

 

I would suggest you do a search in your area for health care providers who treat wholistically. There is help and its

alternative treatments that compliment other meds we must be on. Its whole foods in capsule or tablet that is sold

under supplements. they use NRT or ART (nutritional response testing or autonomic testing) You know how some doctors

push against a limb while you push away? It is that kind of testing ANd it compliments any meds you are on.

That way you learn EXACTLY what YOU need for as long as your body says it needs these nutrients.

Its worth a try. Also detoxing our livers (naturally) is another way to get those toxins out of our bodies.

Consider this. I did this and it added years onto my employment and gave me a clearer head with more energy.

Good luck, sending you healing hugs,

Jan

Pancreatic cancer is horrendous---Although my M-i-l was in assisted living, her final 6 months were not good, and I seemed to be the major go-to person for everything.  So glad we had Hospice.

Kidney cancer is also bad, and some of the newer drugs that are being used can have consequenses.

Boardman is GOOD-as is Oregon.  I should know.  Born and reared here.  And yes, school has started; which means my job as a volunteer at the HS will get underway, soon.

Fires and more fires.  Now, there's one north of Bandon Dunes golf resort.  The High center is pushing the smoke out to sea and right back in at us.

Hope your school year gets off to a great start, and you health and welfare can handle everything.

Hugs from SW Oregon.
