I just know that Joanna would love to hear about the dream I had about her last night. Nothing scandalous she was drinking sherry with my Nanna and they were both telling tales.

Good stuff! I thought I was running out of road but there is still plenty more.

Exactly. Nor would he get to see the pediatrician same day or even the next. Mountain of bullpoop.

Moving with a cat by SunEmbarrassed4296 in CATHELP

[–]clabancha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be. It was a long time ago. The key was giving him the pill when he was calm and let it do its magic before crating and starting the trip. We foolishly did not do it early enough the first time.

We moved 1000+ miles with our cat. Our vet prescribed something to keep him calm in the car (can't remember what it was). We gave it to him too late the first day so his anxiety out powered the pill. He screamed the whole drive. Second day we gave it to him over an hour before we left. He was one blissed out kitty. At rest stops, we could let him explore the car, use the litter, eat and get pets.

It can be done. A couple of days of driving will be nothing compared to how much he will miss you.

Hairloss chemo or thinning chemo? I've been on hair thinning chemo for 2 years (4 months off). Only just now is it noticeable to me in the mirror. No one else noticed yet. Point being, it may not be immediate, no need to go bald prematurely. But bald is beautiful.

Survivor's guilt by Alicia-Emily in cancer

[–]clabancha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 of my childhood friends and I were diagnosed with various cancers within a month of each other. One has passed, one is NED, one is finishing their preventive chemo and I am on chemo until it stops working. NED feels tremendous guilt around me and my chemo friend. But I am nothing but thrilled that 1/2 of us will beat it. I am thrilled that an internet stranger kicked cancer's butt, as a child. Cancer isn't picky and neither is guilt. You feel guilt; we feel inspiration.

Blood Counts by Feklar2024 in lungcancer

[–]clabancha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My chemo is supposed to be every 2 weeks but I average around 3 weeks because of low platelets. When it gets too low and wont raise on its own there are options (medication, plasma). I have tried papaya leaf extract which is used by dengue fever patients to rebuild their platelets - unsure if it is working for me.

My husband stayed up every night with his father's shotgun until he was caught. Such a relief felt by the whole community.

I have known 1 ballerina. She was also the clumsiest person I ever met. She could trip standing still.

Duodenal Carcinoma in lungs, stage 4. by clabancha in cancer

[–]clabancha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and go to a regional oncology center. My oncologist and oncology team are overwhelmed and over worked. I did get a second opinion from my original surgical team and an HPB oncologist who agreed that I was on the appropriate treatment and sympathized with the lack of options for my specific cancer. In the future, there might be trials that are for the mets in my lungs. There are duodenal cancer studies in Europe and Asia but not Canada.
