Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Dave, I had a similar scare a few weeks ago. Had a spot on my lung on an x-ray - thought it was enlargement of a spot noted several years ago on a CT scan. Being a 40 years smoker I was sure it was lung cancer, but I seemed to have missed the bullet for now. It was a geat relief although I think most smokers know that we can still be harboring the cell changes for cancer even after we've quit. Glad to hear you have been spared. Take care. in Va P.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 <<Tonight Hazel and I breathed a collective sigh of relief. I received the results of tests and stuff on my throat which my doc thought was cancer in its early stages. It is not cancer. They added Sjrogen's to my list of ailments officially today.>> Dear +Dave, I have been thinking of you and praying for you and am SO happy to hear the news! Sjogrens is not fun, but it's way better than cancer. I have Sjogrens and it's a real pain, but you can deal with it. You are strong and I pray that you do well. Take good care, Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hey, Mike! Congratulations! I'm happy for you. And I'm resisting all the entirely inappropriate comments that are coming to mind here. Sally Good News Nurse called me at home today to tell me the news of the latest blood test. Never did that before always called me in for an appointment but was too excited this time to wait. Turns out my mineral counts went from 50% of normal center back to center normal and all blood counts went from low or alert low to the middle of the normal range in one month. White cells and red and platelets. Amazing.. The Doc told me last month when things kept getting worse it would not happen and at best things would stabalize at alert low and remain that way untill after chemo. Told me we may have to cut the riba this month and go on anti anemia drugs if it keeps getting worse. Went home did more research into anemia came up with a new diet, vitamin and mineral plan and executed it. Kept taking all the old same stuff as before too. Now that the bodys getting back to normal hope to be able to shake this 3 month old cough which is slowly improving and then start a very light exercise program next month. Nothing stressful just more walking and maybe some real light weight lifting to keep the muscle mass from shrinking any more. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Mayah - That is fantastic news! I am so glad to hear that this day has finally come - even though it was a long time coming... I hope to hear that he in is remission soon! Alia and Caroline, age 4, poly and iritis ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Mayah Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 3:34 PM Subject: Good News Tally (systemic since 5 and now 11) finally received his Medicaid waiver. This is a big deal since my normal work insurance wasn't sufficient to get him what he needed. It took 2 years for the waiver but now that we have it... maybe I can get him back to doing really, really well. They are going to up his OT to twice a week, give speech, up his PT...he sees the dentist and opthalmologist tomorrow. His meds are now covered and if they decide he needs growth hormones... he can get them. It's been hard watching my son deteriorate because of my inability to provide for him through my job. Now finally, I can. The world has just opened up for him and maybe in a few months, he'll be back into remission. Mayah --------------------------------- Bring photos to life!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Mayah, Sorry for the long struggle but it gives me hope. We have private insurance and our premium was going to be just over $630 a month.I have gotten it down to around $435 with a $4000 deductable but it's just a 1yr band aid. We live in TN and Tenncare is still so messed up. With your news I will start fighting for and not give up.Heck we will move to another state if we have to. Is Tally the little guy in the photo section taken years ago? Hugs Becki and systemic PS)I hope you achieve a medicated remission again also.Been there before and it felt great.I want it back also.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi Carol,, that sure is excellent news,,,you take care and jang in there, I am still plateaued after 6 weeks,,,grrrrrrrrr..power to us all,, Carol in Perth, Western Australia mom1960cq <mom1960cq@...> wrote: Hi All, Just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your support. I had my follow up visit with the doc today. He looked and the second set of films from my UGI and decided that I DO NOT HAVE A SLIP. He said that the band is in the right place and that he thinks it was pouch dilitation. I had a total unfill two weeks ago and have felt great since...however...I have gained 4 lbs and freaking out. I still have some restriction and don't feel as though I have been binging. I had slacked off at the gym over the holidays and was existing on carbs and sweets while I was having all the pain with reflux and heartburn. Started craving and eating protein right after the unfill. Guess my body needed it. Was hardly able to eat any solid protein for a while. Anyway, I'm thankful that I will not need surgery but am taking a rest period from fills for the next month. I will need to really get in gear to lose these 4 lbs and get back on track. Thanks to you all. Carol --------------------------------- The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Search Marketing.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hey Jim, What good news all of the way around. I , also, am a 2b and responding well to treatment. I just did my 10th injection this morning. In a few more weeks I get another viral load done and I'm really counting on my lab results to read " no detectable virus " . My doc has explained to me that new research has proven that people who are 2a or 2b and respond well to treatment after 4 weeks only need to do treatment for 4 months instead of 6. I told him that I'm not comfortable with new research and I'm in this to win, hence, I'll finish 6 months of treatment. As always, he supported me in my decision. I " ve waited 18 years to begin treatment because I was not going to begin it until I was comfortable that I would achieve a sustained response. And I believe I'm on my way to being HecC free! My best wishes to you as you and your doc decide your course of treatment. Please keep us posted on what you decide. _____ From: Hepatitis C [mailto:Hepatitis C ] On Behalf Of Jim Hampton Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 7:32 PM Hepatitis C Subject: Good news Hi gang, Well, I had some good news today. I had the endoscopy (piece of cake as they knocked me out) and no vericose veins. My cat scan a couple of weeks ago was also clean. So now I wait for a trip to the primary care physician (or perhaps the liver specialist) to find out what my treatment course will be. I've also got to check on my genotype - I actually forgot if it was 2a or 2b .... In any case, it looks like I'm fit for treatment, whatever course that may be.
