Damn, That sucks! Hang in there, The X Needs you!:Banane35:

 

[surfjetlouie]

Here are some update.
Last week I end up back in the ER then spend 4 day on more med's.
First night home was just ok but wed night was really tuff. so Thursday I met with the chemio oncologist and will be starting once a week next week and today I met with the radiation oncologist and will be going 5 day a week for 5-6 week then 5 day a week for more chemio. the doc also gave me some stronger pain management pill metadone and they work well.
the prognostics is to try to stop and shrink the tumor at this point the tumor as spread from the pancreas to the lymph node and to the intestine and portal vein.
I have lost 14 lb in less then 3 week and regained 1 lb this week.
I get up around 3 am to eat meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrot,
I really appreciate all the support I got from everyone and many PM' along with phone call.
I do not know what to expect from the chemio and radiation since every one react different. but right now I'm planning to go to the shop a couple time next week just to be out of the bed and the house.
I did that for 3 hrs today and I even pull out my old camp bed for some rest about 30 min.
so please keep pushing me for more stuff to create and that may keep my mind of this big ugly tumor.
Thanks to every one.
Louie

That's the ticket, Louie! Positive attitude is everything! Don't let this whip you, I know you're a strong dude. Hang in there. I hear "safety meetings" are good for chemo nausea and pain, too. :wink:

Good to hear from you Louie

 

[SuziQ]

Keep it up Loui...you have mega support from down here!!! Ask your doctor about drinking Ensure Plus (chocolate is best). They have 360 calories in them and are loaded with vitamins...will help keep the weight on (but might keep you in the restroom longer than you desire on top of all else/fyi)! Three a day is what is recommended! You're my hero!!! :thewave:

 

[fwi]

Louie you need to post updates so we know you're OK! :djsmilie:

 

[dolphinangel]

Hope you are doing well. We are all rooting for you!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Man, i hope the treatment goes good! Keep trying to put a little weight on and stay active!! You lay there and i will take over much faster. I know its not the same type, but you should get the lance armstrong book called its not about the bike. It will motivate anyone to do anything. Great book! Keep getting better SJL!!!

 

[WaHoo_1]

get better Louie, we're all pulling for you!:bigok:

 

[Shonuff]

Get well.

Hey Loui…if you happen to ever get miffed with any of the healthcare professionals, you should contact this lady in Austin Texas… ask her if she will handle your correspondence for you…and ask her which time of month works best for her! (a little humor for you here, since she thought she was having a bad day)

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company
Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets
rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for
best webmail-award-winning letter.

Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years
and I appreciate
many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave
absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd
certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white
shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos
on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that
maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each
month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from the
curse' ? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting
right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging
through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll
be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with
knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?
As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen
quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers
monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating,
puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying
jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough
time for most
women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge
to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because
he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps.
Crazy!
The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just
crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason
for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I
wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always
maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words:
'Have a Happy Period.'
Are you ***** kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny
middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing
happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned
above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless
you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything
'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and
Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the
local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your
life in a blaze of glory.
For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a
moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something
that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular
Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?
Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately,
there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my
maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your
Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending ****
****. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons
