Hi everybody,
I had a bone scan done yesterday to see if they can locate the source of this excruciating leg pain.I will go for results tomorrow and hopefully begin radiation if they find the spot.I will get my chemo port done on Tuesday and my oncologist likes to wait a week to begin chemo after the port is in place so looks like I am looking at another week before chemo begins.Praying for us all.TBone

Hi everybody,
Turns out I didn't get my chemo port today.I had never been to this surgeon before and he wanted to examine me and my records.I liked him a whole bunch.He is going to schedule the procedure as soon as he can.He likes to do it in an operating room because of the increased sterility.I still have a bone scan scheduled for tomorrow and will get the results on Friday.Hopefully it will show what is causing my leg pain.Praying for us all.TBone

My doctor warned me of nausea but I had none.I did have a cough for a few days but it went away.I used a good prescription cough syrup while I had it.TBone

Thanks for all the info.Fay-- as far as my sisters they are here and wide open.They have been busy putting together our family booth for this community's annual Relay for Life.They have all kinds of plans.Renting a big tent.Selling homeade ice cream and have a logo of I scream for a cure.They have already collected a lot of money.Since I am back I am sure that they will be back on here soon.They were also pretty upset about the recent deaths on here as I was.Praying for us all.TBone

Hi,
I had 15 whole brain radiation treatments and made a couple of posts about the effects it had on me.You can find them in this general forum with a search I think.In short I lost all my hair,sunburned head and ears,loss of appetite and extreme fatigue.But it kept me alive.The tumors shrunk.Good luck to you.Praying for us all.TBone

Hi everybody,
We got back from Florida yesterday and had a great time.The fishing trip was fun but we didn't catch a whole bunch.It was both my sons first attempt at fishing in 150 feet of water.They learned a lot and we will be going back.I think we came back with about 40 lbs of grouper and snapper filet which will make for a couple of good fish frys.
I am going to my radiation oncologist today to see if he can do something about this terrible leg pain.I sure hope that he can because nothing I have tried will stop it.Tomorrow I go to another doctor to get my chemo port.Can someone tell me what is involved in this procedure.How long does it take and where do they put it?I have no clue.Thanks for any info.Praying for us all.TBone

Hi Tiffany,
Welcome aboard.I am sorry about your diagnosis and sorry you had to find us too.I cannot add much to what others have said.Find a second opinion and a good doctor and cancer center and be aggressive about it.Time is important.Keep us posted.Praying for us all.TBone

Hi,
I,too,am sorry you had to search for us but I can assure you that you have found the right place.My introduction to lung cancer and stats was on Christmas Eve of last year.I went to the emergency room with severe headaches.A CAT scan revealed 3 tumors to the brain.A neurologist,not a cancer doctor,came in and told the wife and I that I had 30 to 45 days to live and that if he were in my shoes he would go home and enjoy what time I had left.He guessed right that it was lung cancer with mets to the brain.By only looking at the brain mets he made this prognosis.I went home devastated as was my whole family.We decided to at least call a cancer doctor and luckily found a good one.He immediately started whole brain radiation and although it was a terrible ordeal I am here and kicking and ready to start the next round of therapy.It is here on this board that I found the courage and hope that I needed.Stay here and keep posting.Sounds like you have the right doctors.Just never stop asking questions and be aggressive.Love and prayers to you all.TBone

Pain
in JUST FOR FUN
A man goes into a dentist office with a terrible abcess.The dentist asks him if he wants novacaine or gas.The man replies that he has to get back to work.Just reach in there and yank it out.the dentist hesitates and tells him that the pain will be unbearable.The man says he is immuned to pain so the dentist reaches in with his pliers and yanks it out.The man doesn't flinch.He gets up to go and the dentist asks him how he got immuned to pain.He says well.I have experienced the most severe pain possible.Twice.The first time I was deer hunting and I had a sudden stomach pain.Had to relieve myself.I undid my coveralls and squatted and got my balls caught in a bear trap.The dentist flinched and bent over and imagined the pain.Then he said when was the second time.The hunter said "when the slack ran out of the chain"

First of all I can't believe that my little sister ate a bull nut.Second of all the festival should be easy to find.Just follow the tears of the bulls.And third.Isn't anything North of the Mason/Dixon "uppa u as".OOOPS.TBone

I worked in the jungles of southern Mexico for a few years and once we woke up to find a 4 foot iquana on a portable cupboard.He would not come down so a friend of mine and I decided to slide the cupboard to the door hoping that he would jump off.He did and went outside peacefully.Problem is when I looked back to slide the cupboard back in place there was a 5 foot boa constrictor on the floor.He had been under the cupboard I guess.I was not comfortable in that house for a long time after that.

Rats do not live alone.No telling how many are hiding and laughing because they haven't yet been heard or spotted.I hear they like to play chicken by seeing how many can run across your feet in bed at night without getting caught.Then they switch to running their tails across your face.That is when most get caught.Night.Night.TBone

Hi Everybody,
I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a week in Florida.I will be taking the family deep sea fishing on Friday.We will return home on Sunday.Y'all try to behave and stay out of trouble while I am gone.I leave you with a topic for chat tomorrow.How about "huevos"?Now figure that out.TBone

It sounds to me like you made the same mistake I did.When I was first diagnosed I cried a bunch for just a little bit of time.I finally just got by myself and cried for an hour and I still do occasionally.When the emotions start flowing just let it go.Let it keep flowing.Amazing what tears rid you of.Praying for you.TBone

I just wondered what kind of drugs you two are on and where do I get some?TBone

Hi Curtis,
I am so glad to get this update.I have been so upset since her passing.Everytime I look at the photo and think of my daughter it just brings tears.Sounds like you are handling this better than I am.And what a tribute to her you gave in this post.I had no idea about the commute.You both have certainly been an inspiration to me and I thank you for sharing this.Looks like many prayers are being answered as far as the house and move and all goes.I wish you the best and please let us know how y'all are occasionally.You and Katie will be just fine and I know that Becky is so proud of you both.TBone

I too am sorry that you are in this much pain.I am glad the procedure worked for you.Don't be afraid to use the pain meds.There is no sense being in misery.I have a continuos pain in my right leg and without the pain meds I don't know what I would do.Just be careful about constipation with their use.I take a laxative with every dose.Praying for us all..TBone
