Is This Over?
When I arrived to WhatNext almost a year and a half ago, this was a thriving community of helpful people with a lot of knowledge and even more heart. No doubt, most of that was due to Greg's encouragement and diligent moderation. He offered so much knowledge and encouragement to all of us. We certainly miss him very much.…

Metastasized
Has anyone experienced metastasizing with or having a stage 3A, Gleason 7, not spread out of prostate. Good health, urination good with supplements.

Other Care | CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine)
Modified Genetic Citrus hope will work to stop from metastasizing. Boosting immune system to max with radical diet, no meat, no sugar, and more.
-
Decision Point | To continue with alternative treatments or surgery.
Fear of metastasizing but am willing to continue alternative due to urinate well, sleep well, always have had back issues so maybe not prostate related.

What were the 3 worst shopping issues you had in COVID? Did it change anything in how you do things
start looking for the replacement. Last night my son said, we need yellow mustard. The 3 things we had the most trouble finding was---flour---bread---laundry soap. At WalMart I found a torn- 10# bag of flour, and 2 women began offering me money for it. They stopped at $15. I had to have that because I couldn't find any…

Dealing with unsupportive family
My in-laws are making me feel that I am being dramatic in wanting to prevent myself from catching small colds, viruses. Non are vaccinated and think that since I'm not in treatment that it can't "really be all that bad". I have a PET scan on Friday and I don't think they understand the fear that I am going through. They…

Had My Second Shot- Moderna
I had my second shot today. My arm is super sore, but I keep watching to make sure it's not reddening or swelling. I keep moving it to keep range of motion and not let it get too bad. I don't feel like I am run over by a freight train. Most people I have known have said it usually starts about 3-4 hours after the shot if…

Tuesday's question - am I the only covid slob?
We are vaccinated and my husband's son, who has been working in Ukraine for the past two years is coming to visit with his family. I am very excited to see them because there are three grandchildren coming, ages 10,8, and 7. - which I plan to HUG! So...I am digging out my spare bedroom which became a total mess during the…

What Feels Scariest?
Scans? Oncologist follow-ups? Other medical doctor follow-ups? Right now, it all feels so nerve-wracking to me. I just want to go back to blissful ignorance when I could convince myself I was just being a hypochondriac and worrying about things that I felt or thought. Around the time of 9/11 (THE 9/11), my husband was…

Has anyone had a doctor claim your positive pet scan as a false-positive, without doing biopsy?
I have had nearly every symptom of lymphoma since last summer & have been fighting with doctors to find out what’s going on. I finally had a PET scan that lit up my cervical & axillary nodes between 3.5 to 5 SUVmax with a liver suv 3.5. so I thought I was finally getting a biopsy, but nope! Hematologist walks in and says,…

a little scary...
Today I had a routine check-up with my radio-oncologist. She found a small nodule (word she used, for lack of better word), in my right breast. My cancer was in the left breast, but I had reduction surgery on the right in Nov. My breasts are very dense, but I was able to feel what she felt, and it seemed to be rather…

Update
Okay, I'm fine. (!!!) It turned out to be exactly what my doctor suspected, a small nodule of fat necrosis that should dissipate on it's own. I had a bad moment when I arrived because I thought it was going to be a simple, quick thing. But the receptionist said it would be about two hours and my husband would have to wait…

Thankful Thursday
Hi, everyone. I am especially thankful these days and it encouraged me to start a Thankful Thursday post. About ten days ago my husband suffered a brain bleed. He was in ICU for several days. He has some residual issues but, in general, seems to be doing well. We're taking it one day at a time. So I'm thankful my husband's…

Anybody else having trouble with Chrome signing you out of WN , citing security?
It pitts me off. I have this problem here and with Country Doctor on Wordpress. I do not have trouble with other sites at all. I am talking about Instagram, bulk food companies-(COVID)- and other commercial enterprises. O My DAWG---these companies associated with Chrome and Google won't let me buy, unless I give them my…

Couldn't post on the ? of getting WN-so here I am
Now, I get something from WhatNext about every 3 months. I wonder if it is because I'm a head cancer patient, as Greg was also a head cancer patient. Most people have other types of cancers. I guess I'm spoiled, but it would really be nice to get-whatever you call it-like this at least once a month.

Can you put a price on an extended period of time added to your life?
I didn't think so either, but then we got the hospital bill for my laryngectomy surgery. So, the best I can add it up so far, we are pushing $500K and the number it says I owe is 164,000.00. First things first, I wonder if they take checks? I'll just fire one off to them and take care of that. Second, the "extended period…

How good are you at playing "bite your tongue" when someone says something about your cancer?
I'm talking about people that are close to you, like an in-law, brother, sister, mom, dad, but one of those that you really don't want to release the flying monkeys on? My MIL is very opinionated and she tends to push her opinions on me about my cancer, which she knows nothing about but pretends to be a world-renowned…
