I am so glad

[Blackdiamond]

I have waited a long time for this because a lot of things I want to say is miscellaneous. Is there anyone out there on Coumadin? I'm on it because I have a port in my chest (my veins are wrecked). I had it put in for chemo back in 2004. My Doctor wants me to have it taken out but I don't want to because I periodically get PET scans, body scans, etc., and I have to have some kind of solutions for these tests--I don't like it when someone is trying to dig around looking for a good vein. I cannot have any asprin products, only Tylenol. Asprin products are a blood thinner. Well, join me in this "chit chat".

I have a relative with a port and a history of pulmonary embolism. She has to take coumadin every day too. My husband was on Coumadin for a year after his heart attack. Neither has suffered serious adverse reactions to the coumadin, but the diet issues can be a pain in the hiney!

Oh, boy--tomorrow I have to go for a P.E.T. scan--if any cancer is present, it lights up. I'll be at the Hosp for approx 4 hrs. NPO after 8am--can't even chew gum and I'm hooked on Nicotine Gum--(the Doctor said that it was better than cigs, but hell, it costs almost $40 a box.). I was hypnotized approx 4yrs ago for smoking and I haven't had a cigarrette since. I had smoked for 46yrs. Two of my friends got hypnotized and it worked for them.

Sending a prayer out for you for the all clear.

[Blackdiamond]

Thank You, and the devil WILL BE A LIAR. I've had 3 lung surgeries and not too much left on the left side. The Devil is not going to win this race.

Praying for you Blackdiamond, the devil is a liar, and he can't win if you don't let him!

[Blackdiamond]

Well cancer is in my lymph nodes in my left lung--the devil still hasn't won and I thank God because the cancer could have spreaded--I will not be getting chemo or radiation because the Dr. said due to all of my operations I would probably get infections, etc., from the Chemo. He ordered some medication for the cancer and its Tarceva---would you believe that Osco's had to order out for it? I can't get it until Monday. I am very optimistic because I have faith and I believe. Its just all in God's hands---he has the final word regardless of the medicine. Thank you all for your blessings.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep kicking the devil's @ss!!! :twisted:

[Blackdiamond]

:lol: I want everyone to do atleast one kick---he's everywhere waiting like a thief in the night.
