Dear Beth/Justakid, Soooo sorry, to hear of the depression getting it's grips on you! This is a long, hard, haul, and you have done great! I think your depression is probably situational however, the situation is rough and you have every right to feel blue! Perhaps, you should try and speak with someone and a little medicine is not a bad idea whatever it takes to push, pull, or tug you through this very rough patch. You are a good kind soul and Mom and I always look at your characters by your name. Try and do whatever it takes to get you cheery again -- we need your spirit on the board! Take good care both mentally and physically we all need both to be at our best! Best Wishes, Botley & Mother

Dear Rich, Soooooo, Happppppy that you had a great visit with your Dr. and that things are stable that is great! Keep up the positive attitude and remember one day at a time! Take good care! Sincerely, Botley & Mother

Dear Sandy, You need a strong bright oncologist with a positive outlook for this battle. Run not walk to a new Dr. in my opinion there is always hope and it is worth fighting -- some people do make it! Your Dad's needs you and your support and you need the guidance of a Dr. who is willing to go whatever distance you are all comfortable with. It seems as though they were very lax in his follow up care. CT's are very standard even if the patient isn't symptomatic especially with Small Cell. Good Luck to you, your Father, and Family! Take Good Care, Botley & Mother

So very sorry to hear about your Mother! You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! Take Good Care, Botley & Mother

Hi, Question for everyone??? Do blood clots show up on a PET SCAN? Would appreciate any information. Thanks, Botley

Hi, Just wanted to post some information regarding Coumadin you need to really watch your intake of foods with Vitamin K. The foods with Vitamin K may be eaten but it should be consistent every day (not excessive amounts) and do not vary it. The following foods have moderate or high amounts of Vitamin K: Asparagus, Avocado, Beef Liver, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage (this includes Coleslaw & Sauerkraut), Collard Greens, Endive, Garbanzo Beans, Green Scallions, Kale, Lentils, Lettuce, Mustard Greens, Seaweed, Soybeans, Swiss Chard, Turnip Greens. Certain oils, alcohol, and teas may also affect how warfarin/coumadin works in your body. Do Not drink green tea. Also, Multi Vitamins try to get one without Vitamin K. Ask your Doctor about any supplements or over the counter medications (aspirin) you may take too as they may also have adverse effects. Generally, coumadin should be taken about the same time every day -- for people on warfarin/coumadin therapy Dr.'s will often times have patiens take the medication in the evenings anywhere from 5-7pm (2 hour window) so the results of testing will not be thrown off by patients varying the time when they take their medications. Just thought some of this information may be of help to you. Take Care, Botley
