    Tbone's last radiation treatment!

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    HI all,

    Thanks so much for all the congrats and encouragement.I did the last zap yesterday.I feel a whole lot better this morning.I am sure that comes from just not having to deal with it anymore for a while.I still have no appetite and am fatiqued but I feel both of those getting slightly better just cause I want them to.If I keep my attitude positive and keep getting the positive vibes from all of you I am sure I will be back to norm soon.Baseball season has started for one son and tennis for the other and I have been missing games due to fatique.I hated that.Gonna make one for sure today.I had no idea that radiation would tear me down so bad.I guess I never got over the whole brain before I started the other but it really was exhausting.I don't want to scare anyone going into it but be prepared to sleep a bunch.As far as eating goes.Does anyone have a tasty suggestion on calorie boosters?I have lost 13 lbs and want to get them back.I have tried Boost and Ensure but have to force them

    down.They taste awful.Any secret recipes would be appreciated.And I am a country boy for those that didn't know.30 miles to fast food.And I love it.

    I hope all of you have a great day.Sunny and 75 forecast for here.I am going to go to ViVi's house to fish for a while.TBone :lol:

    Hi Trishia,

    I sure hope that you can somehow hook up with Fay as she suggested.Her posts here have been life savers for me.I woke up this morning feeling terrible.I have my last of 18 radiation treatments today and really thought about not going.I have been so exhausted and just feeling bad.When I read her post about how she always wins it just kicked me right back up.She has a way of coming through with the right words at the right time and it just helps me a whole bunch.Thanks Fay.And find her Trishia.I am sure she can lighten up that wet blanket a bit and all of us are here to help when we can.TBone

    Farmer/cop joke

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    An old farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for driving his tractor on the highway.As the trooper was writing the ticket the old farmer noticed that the trooper was occasionally swatting little bugs that were flying around his face.The farmer said,"I see you have trouble with circle flies".The trooper said "what is a circle fly"The farmer informed him that before he got a tractor he plowed with a mule and that these little irritating flies always gathered around and flew in circles around the mules *ss.So he called them circle flies.The trooper said,"Are you insinuating that I may be a mule's *ss?" The farmer said,"of course not.I have too much repect for the law to do something like that.It is hard to fool those circle flies though"TBone.YEah.I know.Weak

    Advantage of losing hair...

    Good idea Fay.I have experimented as well.I can pull my fat swollen head far enough into my ballcap to make it look like I have spock ears.But then I have to tighten the cap real good to make it hold.Think maybe some of that old hair spray might work?And I never lost my eyebrows or moustache.I also thought about going to Vidalia Ga and getting a Vidalia onion tatoo on it for profit.Walking ad for them.Man those are some good onions.TBone

    Hi Howard,

    It was so nice to get on here and see your post.I had been worried about you.I am so glad that you had that family time and that your kids,for the most part,are handling this well.So sorry about your father.That is a long trip even for someone that is not ill.I flew on P3's in the Navy and spent quite a bit of time in Guam and various Pacific paradises.I can't imagine trying to go from Guam to Michigan as weak as I am right now.I think you are doing the right thing by resting up.Prayers for you and yours.TBone

    I noticed a new blonde neighbor going back and forth to her roadside mailbox on her first day in the neighborhood and after about the 10th visit to the box I went out and told her that the mail didn't come until 430 pm.She said,"Oh,my computer keeps telling me that I have mail".TBone

    Fishing trip

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Well I was going to wait and let my sisters post about the fishing trip but since I have been asked about it here goes.We caught ZERO fish.I think it had something to do with too many women on the boat.Actually,the whole family had a wonderful time.They rented a pontoon boat and all the kids had a blast.I was too tired to partake as hard as I tried to.I have 2 more radiation treatments left and I can't wait to feel half way normal again.I loved that poem too Tee Taa.

    PS'

    The trip did do me a lot of good.Just getting out of the house helps.Next time I will be in shape and we will have to enlarge the photo size for my pics.

    Hi Bob,

    I can't believe all this is happening to you.You have been in my thoughts and prayers.Like everybody else I would think that getting nutrition back in you would be priority now.You will have to be strong for anything else that comes.Don't think of it as permanent.Just think of it as loading up for battle again.And a fighter you are.TBone

    Stuck!

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am on my 12th chest radiation treatment and just in the past couple of days have noticed this problem developing.I hope it doesn't last too long because it can be kind of scary.And I have the flash of pain when it gets stuck too.Seems it takes it a while to slide all the way down and I can feel it as it goes.So I don't have an answer but I do sympathize.TBone

    Welcome back Bob.I am glad you got to make the trip but so sorry it turned out that way.I hope you did get to fish at least.I had a bad case of pneumonia while working in southern Mexico in the 80's and almost waited too long to try to get home.Glad you did things in a hurry.It is bad to be stranded and sick.Sounds like your doctors come when you beckon.That is a good thing.Praying for a quick recovery for you.TBone

    Just a suggestion

    HI all,

    I think this is a great idea.I get so much inspiration from those of you who have chosen this road.The decision to take this road is probably the hardest one will ever make.I read the book The Road Less Traveled and loved it.I hope this forum will be just as informative although the subject matter is different.A good title for it anyway.TBone

    Hi,

    I watched huge flocks of geese flying north this weekend and had a yard full of robins today so spring is on the way for us all.Dogwoods are blooming.I feel better already.Thanks for the jump start on the week and for all that you have done for this site.I don't think I could make it without it and having worked with HTML myself as an amateur I realize how much time you devote to this.Do you ever sleep?And here is wishing the best for the week to you two in return.TBone

    Increasing Weakness

    Hi,

    My doctor put me on oxycontin (40 mg/12 hrs) and hydrocodone for breakthrough pain and told me to take 2 Senna-s along with the oxycotin for constipation.More during the day if needed.I have had not had pain or constipation since.He stressed the importance of staying ahead of constipation so make sure you take the senna-s even if you don't think you need it.It has worked for me.TBone

    Hi,

    I hope the Iressa works.I think it is very important that you or some other designated advocate visit the onc with her to find out about mets and staging.You need to be armed with all the info you can get to fight this battle.TBone
