    Hi Lisa,
    How wonderful the are no new tumors and the old ones are gone!! Just try to stay focused on that. Throw out the information on the CA-19 levels. Everytime that nasty thought creeps in remember the positive, wonderful news you recieved. “That which we focus on only gets bigger” is a saying a very wise woman once told me. I hold you and all members on this board in my prayers.
    Peace…..

    Rob and I worked in the printing industry all our adult lives. The main printing performed is screen printing, but Rob also ran an offset press for quite a number of years along with the screen printing. Years back, before more industry innovations, we processed all of the film required (used in making plates and screens) by hand. Exposure to chemicals through osmosis definately occured. Then there is also the fumes involved in both the chemistry and the printing inks. That all being said…his grandfather (so you are talking prior to differentiating orphen type cancers) died of liver cancer in England. We are so in need of so much more research to help figure out how to prevent and diagnose this diseace sooner.

    Happy for you Kris! Love when a trial has such positive results and that you are benefiting so much. Don’t stress on the hair thing…maybe get the wig before your insurance runs out (if you are like me, just the preparedness will make the rest of your hair remain).

    Hi Susan,

    Your home hospice workers should be able to answer your questions as far as possible over-medication and what to look for near the end. My husband transitioned through in-house hospice and did not experience projectile vomiting so I cannot offer any insight there. Sending prayers.

    Yea Kris!! Finally you don’t have to be in the care of someone so un-caring. Sorry it had to take 2 years for her to release the “strings” but so happy you will be able to get the proper attention you so desire. Sending healing energies and prayers you way.
    Peace,
    Karen

    Just to make note…my husband worked (and so do I) in the printing industry and almost all the ink products that we use list possible liver problems from exposure to the fumes. I am sure the chemistry used in the film processors (and the tray developers we used to use) are along the same lines. We have become a world so dependent on chemistry, plastics, technologies, modified foods, additives….all of which can harm the physical body.

    Oh Lainy….you are by no means foolish or an old lady! I think it is important that those of us who have had experiences of contact made from those no longer in body share them to help ourselves (as you have stated) and to help others realize that the death of a body does not mean the end of a being, a soul. If our writing about it helps others to have an open mind, to be more aware of what is happening in the present moment (instead of trying to live in the past) then maybe others too will know the peace that comes with these visits. Yes, the hole in our heart will always be there, but knowing that our loved ones are still around brings so much comfort and trust that all is well. Peace to you Sister.

    Oh Gerardo….YEA!! So happy you are open to visits from Ginger. I am sure she is reaching out to let you know all is well – she is just in another “space” than we are. That veil between this deminsion and the other is so very thin right now. I too have recorded visits from my beloved Rob and they are very welcome.
    In peace,
    Karen

    Dear Rena,
    Holding you and your family in light and love. Please know that should you not get to see your Dad before he transitions it is because, as Lainy stated, that would be his wishes and do not “beat” yourself over that. Sometimes people wait until there is nobody in the room before making the move. Know you are NOT alone in this heart-wrenching journey.
    Peace to you and your family,
    Karen
