Mr Ry

Oh, the lessons we learn.

Surviving in Michigan, thanks to my beautiful and caring wife. I felt I had to check in on this one. I have been dragging my boat anchor and the lake is still frozen. Better days are ahead. John.

Fay, You look and sound wonderful. I hope you continue to be comfortable. You are continually in my thoughts. Hoping for no scary moments. John

Fay, I am so glad you are home and comfortable. You are right up there near the top of the most courageous women I have had the pleasure to know. We all love you especially when you get "mushy". Stay comfortable. John

Fay, You are definitely rock solid in ours thoughts in this house. Please take full advantage of the hospice to make your self comfortable. Their job is to do nothing but make this time easy on you and your family. Don't hesitate to ask for anything from them. Take comfort in knowing there is much love coming from both of us sent out to you. John.

My best wishes for a speedy recovery. She is always in our thoughts.

I agree with Kasey. If you open up, maybe they will open up and get the ball rolling. This disease is hard enough. Do not try go it alone.

The frist two I can not count. They were adopted and that is an experience that is entirely different. 1) Doing my best to get Rochelle through all the pain. I tried to remember the breathing rhythm, but I have no rhythm. 2) Seeing our baby and both Rochelle & Jillian where fine after that entire experience.

The wife comes home early & finds her husband in their master bedroom making love to a beautiful, sexy young lady! "You unfaithful, disrespectful pig! What are you doing? How dare you do this to me the faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving this house, I want a divorce!" The husband, replies "Wait, Wait a minute! Before you leave, at least listen to what happened" "Hmm, I don't know, well, it'll be the last thing I will hear from you. But make it fast, you unfaithful pig, you!" The husband begins to tell his story . . . "While driving home this young lady asked for a ride. I saw her so defenseless that I went ahead and allowed her in my car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She mentioned that she had not eaten for 3 days. With great compassion I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas that I made for you last night that you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll gain weight; the poor thing practically devoured them." "Since she was very dirty I asked if she wanted to take a shower. While she was showering, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw her clothes away. Since she needed clothes, I gave her the pair of jeans that you have had for a few years, that you can no longer wear because they are too tight on you, I also gave her the blouse that I gave you on our anniversary and you don't wear because I don't have good taste." "I gave her the pullover that my sister gave you for Christmas that you will not wear just to bother my sister and I also gave her the boots that you bought at the expensive boutique that you never wore again after you saw your co-worker wearing the same pair." The husband continues his story . . . . . "The young woman was very grateful to me and I walked her to the door.When we got to the door she turned around and with tears coming out of her eyes, she asks me: "Sir, do you have anything else that your wife does not use?"

Well I have made it of the couch. Hold the light beer, I drank the stuff when I was overweight. It did not work I just drank more. Coors Light ~ talk about a double negative. I'll sit near Geri, I do not remember drinking scotch, but I'll give it a try. A whole beer and shot of Jack Daniels for me to start and I'll see how it goes from there.

It is just a thought. Has he tried the sensitive touthpaste? It probably is not strong enough, but may help. Good luck with the Switzerland trial. I am hoping too that is the magic bullet. John

Well, one way or another the men brought us world peace. Of course not without the help of a woman.

I did not communicate with Addie much, but she sure touched me and Rochelle. The "Addietude" sure will live on with all of us in our hearts. She will surely be missed by everyone who had any contact with her. My best thoughts go out to her family and friends to get through these trying times. John

Fay, Your are most definitely in Rochelle's and my thoughts, and well wishes. We are hoping for all the best for you.

Nelson, I had an increased heart rate after all various my chemo iv's. I am not sure what started. A cardiologist has me on 2 different medications the last 3 years. They have worked so he keeps me on it. I started Iressa shortly after my increased heart rate. I was on it for a year, then put on tarceva for 2 more years. I was just taken off it because I have had .2cm x .1cm increase in my tumor. Rash, on and off diarrhea, dry skin, and slow hair growth were my only side effects. I was a very doable chemo. It was very good to me as well to others here. John

That is great. I am sure you are feeling wonderful. I think you got eppie's dancer dancing with more emphasis. Cheers. John

Way to be Fay. John

Tammy, For me it was well worth it. I am about to start it again. There are a few things to consider though. 1) Is age. 2) Current health. I was in very good health before diagnosis.

I am wishing for you get all the strength you need to get through these next trying days. It is great you have so much family to help you get through this.

Thank you John. I may qualify for one of the trials. I printed the web pages for my Onc.

This news saddens everyone Leslie had contact with. My best to her family to get through the times missing her.

I know coughing up blood is scary. It has happened to me a few times. The doctor usually gives me an antibiotic and it seems to help. It could also be from your sore/dry throat. A few things I do for my cough. One is chewing gum. Another is hard candy. Cough syrup with codeine and phenergan. During the day a med called tessalon perle. It is a scrip. I would not worry about small amounts of blood, but still see a doctor soon. John
