Def. Somewhere in Time Ghost A walk to remember I'm having a blank on the Bette Midler movie, "the wing beneath my wings" movie I cry alot when it comes to movies but these in particular stand out. Lisa

I have been a nurse for 12 years and I can't imagine doing anything else. I knew when I was in school I did not want to work on the floors, I knew I would have too but I knew I was not going to for long. I worked as a medical assistant at a cancer center while in nursing school, I worked very...

Thank you Cathy, I hope my marriage is as much fun as you have with your hubby-you are a great couple!! See you around the forums. Lisa

Debbie, I need a room!!! I purchased my room at full price since they told me the blocked room were sold out. Please tell me what I need to do!! THANK YOU!!! Lisa R.

I took 12 days off after my meniscus surgery. Then for 4 weeks all I did was upper body and abs. I did slow and heavy for 2 weeks, then the pure strength series for 2 weeks. I am able to do everything now, but my knee is about 95% back to normal. Good luck with your surgery!!! Lisa

Thanks for the feedback. I may have to start doing what you are doing Gayle, there is nothing better than recieving a little kind note from someone unexpected. Thanks again. Lisa

With the hustle and bustle of the day, and the many people that you know in your life. What is the correct way to use note cards? Who do you give them too? What is the proper occasion? I would like to do this for certain people but can never find the time or the stamps!! Lisa

Beskinny I sent you a PM.

Galye, I am so sorry. Just like Chris, I am an oncology nurse as well. I treat mostly adults because honestly, I do not feel I could be a pediatric nurse for the reasons you have mentioned. I have lost family members to cancer as well as a 16yo cousin with sarcoma. We will never understand why...

We can definitely do that for you Beth-that actually sounds like alot of fun. Sorry, I will not see you this year, maybe next year? Lisa

I was #116 and was contacted also today. It feels so bittersweet. I am so sorry for those who had to cancel-we will definitely see you next year. Lisa

I am so sorry Lori. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Lisa

I am so sorry to hear that about your dad-I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I am glad you posted to let us know you are okay. Just do me a favor and ask the nurses at the home if they have checked a calcium level on your dad? Patients with progressive disease can...

Thank goodness for text messaging, my oncologist seems to think it is the chemo as well. Taxotere(widely used for prostate cancer) can do that to some patients. Did you know the name of your fathers chemo? Was he on a clinical trial? Sometimes those meds can do things that even the oncologist...

Is he on chemotherapy? I have seen some of my patients develop a blackened tongue on chemo. I personally do not think its his cancer spreading to his throat, not typical of prostate cancer. Hope this helps- I can also ask the oncologist I work for on Monday as well, to see if they can provide a...

I am sorry to hear about your grandfather Lori. I treat many patients with prostate cancer and like Claudia said, everyone is different in the way the cancer grows. Is he going to get some type of treatment? With the pain he is currently experiencing-has the doctor mention radiation? If you have...

Thanks for posting this-it makes me hopeful at number 116. Congratulations!!

Thanks I didn't realize I could still do that. I am #116-crossing my fingers!!
