    How much do I tell her

    in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER

    Posted

    As a mom, I can attest to the fact that we moms will squeeze it out of you no matter how long it takes! You have been given a lot of good advice here. Cindy is right--we would rather worry about anything than our own cancer. And Becky, heck she is almost always right--By the time Becky gets to my age, she is going to have to add an addition to her brain in order to hold all her wisdom. :):)

    I along with a lot of other people would worry ourselves sick if we didn't see you on the board. So thanks for letting us know.

    I understand though. I took a vacation this weekend and it helped, except I did log on once and saw that Terry had died--I quickly logged out because I just HAD to enjoy my weekend, in spite of my sadness and fear.

    I know you will be there for me if I need you and I will be there if you need me. Maybe it's the blind leading the blind, but it CAN be done.

    I really have nothing new to say. I just want to agree strongly that a second opinion is warranted.

    I also want to let you know that I am sending a ton of fortitude and hope to both your husband and you.

    Small pelvic node near overy hot on PET-anyone else have

    in SCLC GROUP

    Posted

    Hi

    I have nothing much to offer except that I have a condition that lights up on PET which makes it difficult for Drs to tell if it is a met or not. It lights up on nearly 40 per cent of my bones, s0 PETS dont work well for me. I am wondering why you have had so many PET scans. Perhaps CAT Scans would be more precise as far as getting a look at the actual shape and characteristics of the lesion??? Or maybe one of those new PET/CAT combos. Hey I am no Dr. but I do know that PETs alone can sometimes be deceiving--either false postives and John posted a while ago that there are actually more false negatives than false positives, which is something I didn't know.

    I know it must be tough when even the Drs contradict one another.

    Glad to hear from you.

    love

    Cows & Politics Explained

    A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

    A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.

    AN AMERICAN REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

    AN AMERICAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.

    A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk.

    A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

    DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

    CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

    BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

    AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

    A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

    A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.

    A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

    A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. They are mad. They die. Pass the shepherd's pie, please.

    AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

    A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

    A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

    A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.

    AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship both of them.

    A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported on them.

    AN ISRAELI CORPORATION: There are these two Jewish cows, right? They open a milk factory, an ice cream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?

    AN ARKANSAS CORPORATION: You have two cows. That one on the left is kinda cute.

    Another one of my dumb Questions--PCI

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Apparently there is a trial going on now to see if PCI is beneficial to NSCLC patients as far as extending life.

    I still wonder why it isn't possible to do preventative radiaiton on adrenals and liver. I think they think that chemo is supposed to work for that, but wouldn't radiation be less toxic?
