Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hi Jean, Corydon is actually closer to Louisville, KY. It is on the border of Indiana and Kentucky. I am always interested to know how many are from Indiana.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Dan and , I am thrilled with the news that the doctors do not think the cysts are very serious. At least it is some better news for the both of you. Sounds like this will resolve in its own time and hopfully without any type of surgery. Honestly sounds like it would. So good to have this news after all the not so good news you were given at first with surgery and such. Poor , but this has got to be a relief for her. Sorry she gets so tired after her chemo treatments. I too got very tired and out of it after my pump was removed. I think it is because it is bringing her blood counts down again. And of course all the other damage the chemo is doing to every cell in her system. Now the uphill climb till her next chemo. has been so brave through all this. God Bless Her!!!! Only three more to go!!!! Yeah!!!!!! It will be so wonderful when she gets done!!!!!!! I am sending lots of Prayers for her and hoping that the final chemo sessions will not be any more difficult then the others. Tell for me that she is doing Great!!! and I am Praying hard for her!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I finially got a call back from my Dr. I go Mon July 7th for a 6MW test. I have a question about this. I was told no Caffiene 12 hours before the test. I have never been told this before. Is this normal? Meanwhile I am still going to Pulminary Rehab. Tuesday while on the treadmil I dropped down to 84, the therapist came over and checked me but said to keep up, it continued to syay that low so she lowered the pace from 1.4 to 1.0 then it went up to 87 but that is all. They don't seem to concerned at all. I go back again today, hope I do better today. I will let you know how Monday goes. HAPPY 4TH to everyone.
