TXHills

Oh, fine, that is cyber hug lady. Ghee Whizz!!!

Stopped by to say hi and let you know I think of you often. Hope your husband is continuing to do well. Sending a cypher hug.

Hi TXHills, just wanted you to know you are on my mind and in my prayers. Hugs.

Hi,
Just wondering how you are doing.

Hi Hon... Hate to see you give up even though I know you must be tired. Have you tried "black seed oil"? It has to be from Egypt, Lebanon or Saudi where it is wildcrafted. The stuff from India & China is cultivated and ir just isnt the same. It shrinks tumors. Not a curative but 60 odd peer reviewed studies have shown that it works. Nature doesnt have a magic bullet. She takes time which I know you may or may not have. If you can shrink the tumors, you will have more time .. for guanabana, AHCC, Chaga, and more.

I wish for you a personal little miracle.

I think I have read, but am not sure, that one of the side effects of estrogen blockers are secondary cancers. If you are taking one I would go to the library and review a book called Physician's Desk Reference to determine if it is. It contains information only about medications. I think I read that it does cause secondary cancers on Medscape, a site for medical professionals that I subscribe to as I am a Licensed Practical Nurse. I have learned much about cancer from reading the articles and the comments doctors make.

Tex, I would never suggest giving up hope -- you are strong, and you can do this if anyone can. But in light of your recent post about not shying away from talk of dying, I wanted to share something with you. In my local paper today, an obituary shared this statement from the deceased: "Never say that I lost my battle with cancer. I am not a loser, I am a winner. I won when I received the ultimate gift of healing and am now in heaven. Never say you 'lost' me. I will always be with you."

RE: Your comment about the price of meds.
They just came out with a new stomach IBS D med for prevention of diarrhea, spasms, intestinal seizures, $1250 and up with a coupon. Patients on Medicare can't get any company assistence-only those under 65 can get the first month free, and discount for following months.

My old med with belladonna that cost 45 cents a pill to make was 'taken' just before Christmas. Also this has been expensive for me-trying to find a different med. I'm sure that ER and specialists visit broke lots of people's banks. I'm thinking that this was to cause the frail to die from diarrhea, that way it reduces the chance of adverse effects. I'm also thinking that by keeping this new med from older people that it also will keep patients from dying or having bad side effects that would ruin the company's reputation.

Good luck on Friday.
Grand babies are always a great way to take your mind away from worries. I spent most off the day with my 2 grand daughters and I simply can't get enough of them.
Keep us informed.

Hi,
Thinking of you and wondering how the new tx is going.

HI TX Hills. I see you were saying you were having abdominal symptoms again and rib pain. Can you elaborate more. I seem to be having a similar experience.

Hi TXHills, I'm sorry about your recurrance, but when I read about what you've done in the past 5 years, iti's incredible. All those things you would have missed. It sounds like you're making the best of the health you have today too. I hope you are blessed and you are comfortable.

Hi! Thanks for responding to my post yesterday. I am sorry you have liver mets. Can you describe your symptoms? Early satiety all the time? Ever have a muscle spasm?

We had a water problem in a closet here and had to take out the carpets and everything else. It WAS a Nightmare. Hope there's no hard feelings.....You and I are just Passionate People. Hope you are doing Great!

TxHills....so sorry that it has come back. Its a fear that each of us carry. You are a special lady and you have the strength to fight this. You have yur daughter by yur side and that will help you immensely. My daughter did - she was my angel. I will say special prayers and just know everyone on this site feels the same way!

Hi... just to let u know ive been thinking of you and sending cyber strength.
Lorie

Praying for you

What does it mean to have the name of the person you mentioned "connect"?

Hi, sunmmer 2013. I had strep for 5 months. Nobody would run a strep test. I was so short of breath it wasn't funny. Everyone just ignored me- told me that I was lying about being awake for one or three hours. Finally one doctor said it was dry mouth, and I was a quitter, etc. I spit a big goober in my hand- they did a strep test. I left with Amoxicillin and a 3 week follow-up. It's taken forever for me to recover from that. Something goes wrong- and it's like an egg shell broke, and fatigue floods in on me. I get a sinus infection and it takes forever to fight my way out-yet my labs are great. I've been sent to cancer fatigue clinics-- I already was doing what they said that I should do. Only I'll sleep for 18 hours after doing the exercises.

TXHills wishing you a good Friday. Are you still located in Kerrville? Smile its Friday, chemo and radiation for me today and the weekend to rest my body.

Don't know if it is unusual or not, I trusted Dr.Barrington my onc and Dr.Chyle my rad, and this was the protocol they came up with, after being diagnosed my younger sister who is a OncoPharma asked the radiologists at the clinic she works at in Mesquite the protocol and this is what they told her they would do( I faxed surgeon reports and pathology reports to her work site). Have a Great Weekend!

Is this Bull Shoals Lake in Missouri/Arkansas? If so, I live in Forsyth, Mo, which is where the lake begins. There are excellent hospitals in Springfield with satellite offices in Branson.

How did your trip go?
