FreeBird

He spends most of his days sleeping. I guess the combination of drugs they giving to him. Not much appetite.

Good morning:"-)
How is your dad surviving holidays? My friend is in a procedure to do stent.
Do you know how captain Bob is doing?

Hey Freebird:"-)
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Did your dad opted for a stent? We are going to OSU day after christmas for that procedure. My friend's billerubin is still quite high about 8.0. We need it to be around 2-3 to be considered for clinical trial. He feels terrible.

Hi, just wanted to check on you & how things are going...

Thank you, my prayers go out to your dad and family.

Thank you FreeBird, well said!!

Hello I was just stopping by to see how your dad was doing?

Jim been turned down from IU for clinical trial because he is jaundaced. Stent is not an option. Admitted to OSU in columbus to install a drain to relief bile that backs up in his abdomen. It might buy him more time. I am terrified of this procedure.

HI Neighbor! ( I am just north of Tampa area) Thanks for your well wishes. How are you doing now?

My friend turned yellow week ago. Because he is jaundiced he is no longer eligible forIU clinical trial. So we going to OSU on Monday. The stent placement is not an option. The way tumor grew . I am so not prepared.....

Thank you for sharing your experience, caregivers go through so much that is frequently not shared. From all of us, we thank you for your gift. Tracy

Thank you for sharing your story today. I am new to all of this and often scared and angry. After a successful brain surgery, which showed a benign meningioma five years ago, I thought my nightmare had ended. But, two weeks ago, I was rushed to the ER for a rapid heartbeat and during a routine chest Xray, and then a further CT scan it was found that I required a lung biopsy. After this procedure, a doctor at the hospital diagnosed me with Stage IV lung cancer, -there is more and because off this great site, I got the name of the IU Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis and have gotten a second opinion there - and I am hopeful - I am grateful for this site and the people here, who, like you have, share their stories and experience to those of us who feel as if we are climbing a mountain in the dark.

Thanks for sharing your story, Freebird.

Great sharing - thanks . I was just trying to come to grips with a sleepless night (was it excitement or fear of tomorrow) somnehow your story set me back to today and I'm thankful for it.

Keep it positive and smile

Why the mandala? I've watched the monks make them - wow! I've also watched the destruction. We've had lots of involvement with Tibetan Buddhist monks - housed them numerous times. Lots of fun.

And I looked way different when my hair was even longer. Thanks for the compliment, I like the short hair better, too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
