[Nutrition Suggestions or recomendations]

Hey Judy, Yes I think that Marshmallow Fluff is the most fattening of all food, if you can call it food.

I think it's nothing more than whipped corn syrup, but it sure packs on the pounds fast.

[Who has the best health care plan?]

After the debates Wednesday and Thursday, does anyone know who has the best health care plan for cancer survivors?

I used to think Edwards had the right perspective, but it is all so confusing to listen to these candidates.

[tonsillectomy advice needed]

Thanks KC. I can't handle pain meds too, so that made my lobectomy pretty bad.

This is good advice. Now that I'm feeling all better, it sounds like tonsillectomy pain is something I want to avoid - especially since I'm about 20 years older than you were.

Thanks again. Barb

[New TV show]

HI Mendy, I missed the first show. I think I'm missing some understanding of the plot.

Why did this guy decide to start making drugs? Does he have a plan to make $$$ maybe seek an expensive treatment not covered by his health insurance or what? Did the hubby see first show? Barb

[breaking news!]

Hi Geri, Prayers for a smooth PET today with good report. Hoping the surgery goes well and your hospital stay is short.

Barb

[New TV show]

Oh Randy, what a show. I don't think he's told anyone he has LC yet. The wife doesn't know. He's still teaching chemistry everyday.

It is definitely twisted. Not believable as he has inoperable LC and yet he is terrified he might get caught for making crank and murder. We all know this would not be his primary concern.....but I think I'll keep watching anyway. Barb

[Looking for some hope...]

Great news Maryea. I was just getting ready to write that I often have crummy CT's due to radiation scars in chest.

I hope you and your Mom have a wonderful visit. yeah

[tonsillectomy advice needed]

Thanks for all the great info so far. Lots to think about. You guys are terrific.

I woke up feeling much better today. Plus my GP called to check up on me. He sent in an antibiotic prescription to pharmacy. I told him I got scared and probably over-reacted. He said it was completely understandable given my medical history and that I should have a bottle of antibiotics stashed away in medicine cabinet just in case anyway. I like my GP. I will talk to him about tonsils at my next visit.

I get so disgusted with my body sometimes - it has let me down majorly twice. I get all wound up when I feel crummy.

I see onc next week for yearly check up. I will ask about tonsils. See what she says too. Hopefully there won't be anything more important to discuss.

You guys had lots of good advice and I will think about it all.

[Please help me Welcome RobertaJ14]

Welcome Roberta. As Connie said, we are here to help anyway we can.

[You will never believe this story!!!!!!!!!!!]

Not to mention the silage Connie. That stuff was wicked. My mom never let me near that.

But I think there is a lot of ammonia in the cow waste...and that would burn the lungs. Plus the tractor exhaust hits you right in the face when you drive. No, this article is full of horse crap.

[tonsillectomy advice needed]

Connie dear, I like the way you think. but, I'm over 50.

I've never given birth....Is it worse than lobectomy?

I know tonsillectomy is supposed to be hard over 50, but how good can all these sore throats be for me?

I have to schedule a talk to my GP I guess....I can't get in to see him when I'm sick (he's too busy), but maybe I can ask him to write me a prescription now for next time when I antibiotics?

These docs in Northern CA are very stingy with the antibiotics. Barb

[You will never believe this story!!!!!!!!!!!]

Hey Randy, As a former Wisconsin farm girl, I've mucked out plenty of the cow and horse poop.

I never saw any benefit, except a strong back.

I don't believe this one either.

[The new normal...]

CONGRATULATIONS SNOWFLAKE!!!!!!

[tonsillectomy advice needed]

Hi Guys, I need some advice/info on adult tonsillectomy.

I've been getting sick every few months since I was 13. My tonsils swell up and have those awful stones. It seems to be getting worse, takes longer to recover etc.

I've heard tonsillectomy is very painful for adults, but how bad could it be compared to lobectomy? I'm thinking about asking my doc about doing tonsillectomy, especially since it is almost impossible to get antibiotics from these guys.

Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Barb
