If you are trying to confusicate me, that is not hard to do.

Just stick me in a barrel and tell me to pee in the corner.

that is not hard to do.

Crap! I'm trying to make a point here using visuals. I'm too tired to make sense of the gibberish I'm posting in an effort to make an unknown point about.... Well about something!

I found 'Being John Malkovich' on Prime video. I just happen to have a promotional credit so I can rent it for free... After I watch Season 2 of 'Outer Range'!

No short cut to post a reply. If there were one it would show when the 'Post Reply' button is right clicked.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles. Will add you to our prayer list here. I also have cancer so and been on Chemo in Hospital for 29 days so can understand a bit of what you must be going through. But glad your back on line and on the fourm

@Sherri is a Cat :-

Nice to have ya back, lass. I thought you'd done a runner on us, but as others have said, you didn't really seem the type...

Sorry to hear about all the health issues. Get well soon.....and stay positive. That's the biggest "cure" of all, in the long run. A positive attitude & mind-set always helps.


Mike.

Is that what is described as a brain fart?

Hell that's the one sure thing I can count on and rely on a regular bases.

29 days???
I have a reason for telling you this and it's not to feel sorry for myself.

I spent most of September in the hospital. I was too sick to start chemo when I got there. It went from stage 2 to 3 within less than a month. My treatment went like this:

One week attached to an IV machine getting my poison cocktail plus injections in my spine in case in was in my central nervous system.
One week recouperating. I got out of breath just talking.
One week feeling semi normal.
Then do it again. It went that way for several months.

It nearly killed me times. People expected me to die. I found out who I can really trust through all of that, who really has my best interest at heart. There were a lot of things I simply couldn't do for myself. It seems to me that my request or help was interpreted as an invitation to take over my life. I ended up in a homeless shelter in the middle of treatment when I refused to comply. I recently found out that my brother told people I was dead. Money.

This has cost me in a lot of ways that can't be undone. I'm told most people wouldn't survive this crap.

I'll tell you why it didn't kill me.

There is at least one silver lining in every tragedy. I continue to find them. Find the humour. When I laugh at it, I'm bigger than the cancer. It might change me and my life but can't take it. I choose to see the opportunity to grow as a person, to be better for it.

Yes 29 days almost the month of Feb. Sorry your cancer is so advanced. I have AML (Acute Meyloid Leukemia) and will be getting Chemo for 14 days then two weeks off then chemo again. Have gone through two cycles so far. Start next chemo on April 14th. Unfortunately Chemo will not cure this type of blood/bone marrow cancer. They can only hope to put it in remission for a time. Would need a bone marrow transplant to cure it, but at my age they are very reluctant to do that. But I will be talking to the Transplant team at some point. So will see.
In any event cancer no matter what kind is a real bummer. Wish you all the best in your battle with it. Hope we both will be hear another day. So keep up the hard work and enjoy each day we have been given.

I'm very lucky.

The aggressive one, diffuse large B cell lymphoma can be cured. It looks like I beat it. I also have follicular lymphoma. It's slow growing and can't be cured, but it appears to be in remission.

I just can't take things like this too seriously. If I did, I would have been dead a long time ago, many times over by any one of a number of disorders, illnesses, near death experiences. I have cheated death many, many times. There's no logical reason for me to still be breathing air, much less enjoying life.

In case you didn't see it, I'll post this again...

When my youngest daughter was learning to drive, she and her mother would go out somewhere and when they got back I would ask, "So how did it go?" She would invariably say, "It was great. We almost died." She was remarking on the fact that any time you get into a moving vehicle you are taking your life in your hands and that if you take too seriously the chance of death catching up to you, you'll just paralyze yourself. (She was never exactly a normal kid...)
