    hi all,
    im sitting home today listening to my old 45 records and thinking back to when times seemed to be easier and trying to take the day off from worry and stress
    the music brings back many memories of times when you could walk up to the corner drug store and have a malt or a ice cream soda, take a ride on your chopper and actually look up and see stars and not just the dark of night.
    there are many, many more memories but i wont bore you with them, i will just let the music take me to them…
    if you like music any kind of music try this web site ….you will not be sorry, and put it in your favs. its free….and take a day off from worry and stress,

    if possible…….playa cofi jukebox…..thinking and praying for all of us …..ron

    Hi Jane,
    my wife has had 6 rounds of gemzar and she did quite well, only complaining of fatigue and a little hair thinning. This treatment works for some and for others it does not.everyone is differant. While it kept the tumor in check it did not shrink it. But keeping it in check I think is a win situation. She had the sir-spheres treatment in Feb. and we are still waiting for results, because it takes 8-12 weeksbefore they can take a scan. Everything I read and hear says that this is an effective treatment… we have our fingers crossed and faith in the LORD. Its a step by step procedure, everything has to be just so before you can be consider a candidate for it, and i hope that you can have it . Keep questioning your doctor about it, and seek other doctors advice about what treatment is right for you. Because what i learned from this experience is some doctors are willing to do what other doctors will not. The best of luck to you and you will be in our prayers……you have come to right place for answers the people here will answer your questions, they are a very caring group….good luck to you Ron

    SAFELY HOME

    I am home in Heaven, dear ones
    Oh, so happy and so bright!
    There is perfect joy and beauty
    In this everlasting light.

    All the pain and grief is over,
    Every restless tossing passed,
    I am now at peace forever,
    Safely home in Heaven at last

    Did you wonder I so calmly
    Trod the valley of the shade?
    Oh! but Jesus love illumined
    Every dark and fearful glade.

    And He came Himself to meet me
    In that way so hard to tread;
    And with Jesus arm to lean on,
    Could Ihave one doubt or dread?

    Then you must not grieve so sorely,
    For I love dearly still;
    Try to look beyond earths shadows,
    Pray to trust our Fathers Will.

    There is work still waiting for you
    So you must not idly stand,
    Do it now, while life remaineth-
    You shall rest in Jesus land.

    When that work is all completed,
    He will gently call you Home,
    Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
    Oh, the joy to see you come!

    assuming that the company has a plan for short term disability and than ltd, then i think yes….after short term dis. which should be 26 weeks he will be put on ltd….and one of the prerequisites is that he must file for ss disability…if he is approved for s.s.d. he will have to pay back what he recieved when he was on short term dis….his s.s.d benefit, if approved with be what ever he was entitled to at his retirement age…if he is recieving short term dis. now inquire about the tax situation…it is taxable for it is considered third party income….good luck ron

    dear rose and heather,
    each day you wake to see a loved one is a gift that we all should cherish and hold dearly, very dearly. its a time to hold all of your moments together a blessing.. no one knows for sure whats to be..whose to say us(the caretakers, mom, wifes) are going to last longer than our loved ones who are ill…i know its hard to call a time like this a blessing and i know that it isnt but you must fight everyday and take what time we have dearly….because once these moments pass you can never bring them back, grieving is something will all will have to do someday, so hold on to today… my thoughts and prays….ron

    hi jen,
    sorry to hear about mom,here is what my wifes oncologist said to try, but check with your doctor because everyone is differant…try a slice of ginger in your mouth during treatments, can be chewed if nausea starts or persists…or place one large piece according to her tastes in 6-8 ounces of diluted ,freshly squeezed grapefruit juice…blend and strain the ginger and drink with meals…it has immune augmenting properties as well as anti-nausea and anti-vomiting properties…i hope this helps and i wish the best for mom….ron
