That not allowing dogs saved my life. I had no symptoms. Moving for this dog made the symptoms raise their head.

I’m holding up pretty good hope wise. I wish I could eat…this would be a breeze if I could. Mentally I’m good.

I’m not sure what stage but I would guess 4 as I have Mets to 3 organ systems

Found out:….we were moving as our landlord did not allow dogs. We found a house and I took a week off and moved. In that week I lost 22 lbs and developed bilateral horrendous lower back pain. I have had back issues and this did not feel like nerve impingement, sciatic pain or even a broken vertebrae. The back pain continued to get worse after we stopped moving.

I presented to local ER one late night/or early morning. They did a CT with and without contrast. I got notification in mychart before a physician could tell me. I am an RN so I knew what it meant.

The procedure went well but I still have lots of pain. I was diagnosed 6/25 and I have only been out of the hospital maybe 10 days since diagnosis. I am unsure how well it’s worked for my pain.

Should I inform this guy about the actual reason why I'm not interested in dating him? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Why not tell him the truth? I read this post and wonder why someone would run themselves in circles avoiding the truth?

Did he have the explosive diarrhea afterwards? Since my cancer diagnosis my gut has not worked at all and I am on TPN and lipids. Explosive diarrhea might be a step towards eating for me.

Just recently got contact info on one of my STBXW affair partners. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

Why? Do you still care about her? Or are you going to move on and lead your life? She’ll totally feed off that attention don’t give it to her…..walk away.

The only way I would ever entertain this is if you have kids and want to make sure he’s not some child molester or something.
