    hi jeff,
    if i could make a suggestion to marc….i dont know what your ss office is like where you live but where we live its an all day drawn out taxing day, especially if your not feeling well. So what i did was to set up what they call a phone interview with a claims examiner,you tell them you are not well enough to go to the office and they set you up with a time and date, call you and take your infor.Everything , from start to finish was done over the phone, I never once had to go to the ss office.Just be sure to have Marcs doctors names, addresses,phone numbers, medications, and all his info ready when they call. Believe me it was much, much easier, especially like i said if your not up to sitting all day in ss office. I hope this helps some and i hope marc feels better…….lucille and ron

    katja reading your post has made hungry,fish and chips sounds good right now….when my wife was on chemo(gemzar) she had a large appetite , i could not feed her enough, in fact she gained weight, which did not make her happy…..the doc said it was from the pre-meds and i also gave her gator- ade to drink which seemed to help her with her energy level…hope dad enjoys his fish and chips…well wishes and prayers……lucille and ron

    yes i have heard of nanoknife– my sister-in law sent me the newspaper article about it sounds promising…..it seems to work on smaller tumors better than large ones…..they are using it at the university of miami and i believe in little rock,ark. the doctors name is dr. govindarajan narayanan….it is being used now, a women in delray beach, fla. had two small tumors removed from her liver and went home the next day….ron

    hi tj…….chemo treatment is very hard on the body, while it kills the cancer cells it also kills normal cells…while my wife was having treatment she would say the same thing..when i feel up to it…….your mom knows her body better than any one else, so when she is ready she will tell you… the main thing is to be by her and get her strong and back to herself….it takes time and alot of commitment from the family….. they also told my wife that she would not lose her hair but it fell out…but it came back thicker and stronger …..the pain meds are can effect her memory, but that should pass….explain to the doctor that she is still in pain and express your concerns and questions to them and dont be afraid to be pushy….sometimes you have to be aggressive with doctors… im sure others here will help you , they are a great bunch of people …praying for your mom….lucille and ron

    hi jeff , my mame is ron, i have heard of seeds, they are little radio active pellets placed in the cancerous tumor and left there to dissolve …..i dont think it is a form of chemo treatment, but i could be wrong….my wifes father had seeds placed in his prostate about 5 years ago and he is doing really very well….i never heard of this type treatment being used for cc, but again i hope im wrong….this type of treatment sounds similar to the y-90 my wife had, why they call one seeds and the other y-90 i dont know, but right now my thoughts are not working so well.. the point is they both place radio active pellets in the body, a form of internal radiation. i hope this is of help to you……….ron

    many of us on this site have been put in some sort of time frame as to when we are suppose to leave this world…..doctors, whom we depend on are just that, doctors….they are only human like the rest of us….there is only one being who knows when our time here is done and that is GOD, so it bothers me (no it pisses me off) when doctors playGOD…your last sentence said it all, THEY DONT KNOW YOU……..prayers and vibes right back at you,,,,,,ron and lucille
