Thank you for the update and I know our members care. Would you do me a favor

because i care, Did you contact the American Cancer Centers ? They have all the

Departments in one place and I sent you the link. For me, would you go to the

website and do an IM to the Cancer Specialist and see what they can offer you ?

My husband has a colloidal brain tumor and it was 3mm and all of a sudden in a

two year span it went up to 10mm. I was so worried and since he did not want the

surgery, I insisted that he have contact with a Specialist in San and if

he has symptoms, we go to the ER and my neurologist will order an aerovac and

the Neurosurgeon Brain Team are available 24 hours.

At least I found the specialist and make him go. He can drop over dead anytime

and for awhile it was a stressor in my family. I also have had a bad week. I

actually told my husband I would just like to fo ahead and leave this world. My

meds are not controlling my pain.

I tried to plant some roses and when my foot pressed on the shovel I misaligned

my Sacral Iliac Joint, my physical therapist told me I could do this just

stepping off a curb.

I did not get any sleep and called my primary care for sleep medication and I

hallucinate on it and sleep walk. I pulled all my clothes out of my closet and

put them on the floor.

I tried to " rape " my husband (which is funny as this is one thing that kinda

left our life) and I kept telling him there were people in the bed with us.

Lord, what he puts up with.

It is Ambian and I know there were legal cases of people driving while on it and

a guy killed his Mother in Law and Father in law and used it as a defense.

I think of you and your family daily and hope good things. You can call the

Radiology Department of where you had the exam and not go through Doctors. They

are supposed to give you one CD free and copies of your MRI to hand carry. I

always wait and ask them to burn a copy,get me copies of my MRIs and reports. I

ask for a date I can pick them up and keep a medical history

on my computer .

Hoping Good things for you and hang in there.
