I am so sorry to hear Dave has taken a turn for the worse. The fact that he perked up the next day is heartening but I can see how this starts you thinking about what lies ahead and wondering how you can do this. The pictures say it all, especially little Maycie and her carefree smile. Dave is surrounded by love, who wouldn’t want to turn back time and savor that love again and again? I am praying for you all.

Mark,
You have made a beautiful tribute to your sister and her life in your post and I am sure that anyone who reads it would feel as I did–that I would liked to have known her and that the world is a lesser place without her. You also made me understand more clearly exactly what I went through with my mom, thank you.

Grieving is very personal and if you want the day to be private for you and your children then others should understand that. On that day perhaps you could prepare a special meal and look at pictures with your children. Nature has healing properties so going for a walk might balance out spending some time under the covers, which is definitely allowed. Crying is therapeutic, it is a physiological expression of a human emotion and you really need to let it out so cry away.

Melanie,
If keeping the house is stressful then maybe it makes sense to sell it now. You say it is not such a dream anymore so I think you already see that the stress of keeping it may not be worth it. This stress can begin to affect your health and you need to be healthy to care for your husband and children. I know this is probably a hard dream to give up but if it was me I would probably sell.

Confusion can be caused by hepatic encephalopathy, if you use the search function you will find some posts.

Jen,
This is beautiful and I really needed something uplifting like this today, thanks for posting.

Carlos,
Thanks for updating us, this is great news about the scan. I don’t know a whole lot about the different scans but was it a PET scan or a CT scan? If it was a CT scan then maybe they could do a PET scan and see if something shows up there that explains the blood test? I agree with Lainy that your mother’s good quality of life right now is a gift.
Ok, I am revisiting this post. I originally posted because I had heard anecdotally of someone with cc who had been treated with apricot seeds, and I believe other natural supplements, with success. I have taken steps to encourage this person to join our forum as I don’t think this person is currently on here but I can’t force anyone to join so, being a librarian, I started snooping around to see what I could find on apricot seeds.
If you look up apricot seeds and cancer on the Internet a million things come up. Here is a link that helps explain the history behind this treatment:

And a Dr. Harold Manner did some research work in the 1970s:

p.s. As you can see, our helpful Kris was the only responder to my original post, how I miss her voice on here.
Cyndi,
This is so sad, Kevin is much too young to be without his mom, he is too young to even comprehend what he has lost. There are so many milestones she will never see him reach. My prayers are with your family.

moontje,
Hallelujah! Hugs and a side of smiles are included with clear petscans, coming right up!

Cyndi,
I am so sorry to hear this news, please tell Linda that many are thinking of her and sending good wishes. As Marion already posted, we got to meet Linda in person and she showed us Kevin’s picture and I know what she most wants is to take care of him. I am praying she gets her strength back and rallies.
Patty
Hans,
I would add funny, feisty, fearless, fashionable, and–as Kris herself often admitted–unapologetically farty.
The time with her friends sounds like a good idea, take it slow, you are very fragile.

I am resurrecting this thread because I found a helpful link on hepatocellular adenomas and oral contraceptives:

Adenomas are benign but this statement stood out for me:
