Hello Everyone! I want to thank everyone that remembered my family in prayer and kind thoughts over the past weeks. My father went to Heaven this morning around 7 am. Woohoo! No more arthritis, no more cancer, no more pain - just joy! joy! joy! :) Lori

Hi Everyone - Feeling blue today. Dad's latest PSA test came back at 581.65. I went to see him at the nursing home and he did not know me at all. Nurse at the center pulled my Mom aside and said that they are all pretty convinced his state of mind is because of the cancer going to his...

[Are they just trying to make me feel bad to compensate for their own lack of healthy choices? Has anyone else had to cope with this? Thanks for letting me vent....:( Denise Hi Denise, I don't think they are necessarily trying to make you feel bad as much as they feel conviction...

Lisa, He only had two treatments of chemo - then fell and broke his hip. They have said they will not resume treatment.

Lisa, I posted before that my father has prostate cancer and you said you worked with patients that have this cancer. My father's cancer has spread to his pelvis, spine, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. This past week we discovered his entire throat is black. It is so incredibly frustrating...

My childhood crush was on Parker Stevenson, who was part of the Hardy Boys with Shaun Cassidy. I cut out pics of him and glued them into a notebook and called them the Parker pages. LOL!

I agree with you. I am a gov't employee and get a lot of sick leave through the year but I've used it up because my father's sick. If I take a day off - even one day off - it would have to be unpaid and that means I'd lose about $200 or more a day. Not gonna happen!

I was trying to determine if it was worth the cost for a low impact workout. I have a treadmill and I cannot use it because when I run, my left leg shin splint flares it's ugly head and I'm out of commission for weeks. I wanted to get everyone's two cents because it is an expensive piece of...

Who here has a BowFlex treadclimber? And do you like it? I'm toying with getting one but I don't want to buy anything unless I know it's going to be worth the investment...know what I mean?

Updates Thank you all for your kind words and hugs and prayers... I was shocked to learn today that my Mom went to see Dad in the hospital and he did not know her. She said he talked jibberish and thought he had a stroke. She questioned the doctors and nursing staff and they believe the...

Hi Lisa, My Dad was taking chemo pills for a short time but recently started intravenous (sp?) treatment. He only got two treatments when he broke his hip though, and they have to discontinue chemo until his surgery incision heals...two weeks minimum? Not sure. He's having a hard time with...

Do any of you know anyone that has or had prostate cancer? My father has it (he is almost 76) and it has moved to his pelvis and spine. He is in great pain, and on top of this, he fell Friday night and broke his hip. They had to do surgery Saturday and put a rod in his femur. I have heard...

THANKS! Maybe to you her not being on a leash is unpleasant, but I find the fact that she sits on her butt in the drive through lane at Wendys quite adorable.

Okay, I will try to get pics up to support this thread, but I make no promises.... A year or more ago, hubby and I were at (gasp!) Wendys and noticed a dog there. It looked like a Shepard mix, but had the blue husky eyes. It had a collar, but it was sitting outside the drive through window...

I would still take him to the vet for a check up. They can analyze his urine to see if crystals are present or if there is a problem. From what you described he is sick. I know you said he seems fine energy wise, but allow me to share a story about my Yoohoo. Yoohoo had a tail injury - I...

His behavior isn't territorial from what you've described. It sounds as though he is sick - please do not delay. To die like this would be very painful for him.

when a male cat marks, they do not squat like they do in the litter box. They just back their bum up to a surface and squirt - sometimes this is accompanied by a little tushy/tail shake. The urine can be a small spritz to a larger stream. By what you've described, it sounds as though your...

Okay - whatever - but for the record, PROSTATE cancer is one of the SLOWEST "traveling" cancers there are, and my father's took LESS THAN A YEAR to move to his lymph nodes in his stomach. And I personally did not mention this individual scenario to make the person that posted this thread more...

I don't think it's fear mongering. Cancer left untreated will definitely travel. My father never had his prostate cancer treated for a year and now its moved to his lymph nodes and he has to go to John Hopkins for tests because they think it has moved to his bones.

Hi Lorrie, 80% of a root canal is excellent - I think mine (Met Life) pays 50? 60?% - I'm new to it though - just signed up last fall.
