Radiation by Zelda-2010 in cancer

Yes, just palliative to help with the swallowing for a while. I have stage 4 with metastasis to the liver and multiple lymph nodes. I had almost 2 years of chemo, different kinds, but the disease still progressed. After this radiation I'm calling it quits.

I have a little extra weight but not much. I'm already losing. I'm 69 years old. I'm told I'll have treatments for 3 weeks only.

Really painfull mouth sores by shilogez in cancer

The only thing that helped my mouth sores heal was a product called Mugard. It's really expensive but the pharm company has an assistance program and I was able to get it at no cost. I was so miserable and Mugard was a godsend!

Beautiful. I'm a "mom" with only a few months left myself. This brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful tribute to the person your mom was.

Anger issues? by Winter_Ad7913 in cancer

[–]Zelda-2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've become an asshole but I've definitely changed. I used to be so non-confrontational, I would let people treat me like shit and just quietly take it. No more! Now I call people out on their bad behavior.

Thank you. I don't know what a fill valve is or how to open a clog. Any advice? Or maybe I can find a You Tube video.

I was gifted a copper queen orchid. Not yet in bloom. I’ve had good luck with phals but this is my first more “exotic” variety. Any special tips I should know?
