Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi Diane--- so sorry to hear of your dilemma with the treatment.. here I was hoping it would work for you!! This is my first time back on my puter since Nove- maybe even October! I've been having bad bouts with Encephalopathy+++ I went up to OHSU in late Nov for another evaluation for transplant - found that I now have liver cancer ++ a cyst in each one of my kidneys. So I was on the PITY bandwagon myself + fighting very bad depression-- but I've recovered from the blues.... and am hoping to be able to get back to my old happy self once again!!! I didn't know youd had a Dobie.. we've got one now named Sami ++ a miniature pinscher(my favorite) Sami can be very pushy & is way to rambunctious for my @ times--but I still love her & miss her when she is out with Ken--- but sometimes it can be a BIG break for Ginger (min-pin) & me! Fortunately my heart & lungs are still going strong..... just hope this cancer doesn't spread anywhere else!! Well, Ken just got back home(had to go & deliver a computer to someone & repair another one... He just got laid off from his regular just(pipefitting) his last job was only 7 weeks long but he was working 7 days a week 10-12 hrs a day & then coming home & repairing PC's... sure wish I had all that energy...... I can no longer sleep @ night & when I do sleep in AM hrs I am only able to pick 2-3 hours max...... I drank some ensure(High protein) & today when I got up I had more eneregy than I've had for quite some time..feels good Gotta go every one take care & best wishes to all arlene diane214@... wrote: Good Morning Everyone, My Heart Dr. called me yesterday and was quite concerned. Didn't get the results of the heart scans yet, but my Liver Functions are are extremely high....Also my magnesium is low and for the 1st time ever my thyroid test was high.... He is very concerned..... I explained to him that due to my bleeding disorder I had to be stopped from the treatment in my 6th month because it was actually killing me.... I wasn't responding .... I actually got worse.... My white count dropped to barely readable... This was due to a rare bleeding condition that I have so don't let this scare anyone on treatment.... It is just me.... I can never do the treatment again and I am not a transplant candidate because of the bleeding...He wanted to talk to my Gastro Immediately.......I have had 2nd and 3rd oppinions on my liver dilema.... I even saw a Liver Specialist who is also a teacher and he said the same thing...Nothing left to due but watch what goes into my body!!!! I told him I watch every thing that I eat, and take herbs..... I told him I am ok with the whole thing, and have accepted it but I haven't given up..... But you know what? I am really pissed that this is happening.... I do all the right things. Don't drink, smoke and eat very healthy...... Now I am asking myself why? I even cried last night because of all of the health problems coming back to back..... I have to get off the pity pot and get the fight back in me..... At least this explains why I have been feeling so poorly.... Say a prayer for me!! I really need it....

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi Diane again--- lots of people out in the west are now taking something called Pycnogenol-- it can be found @ health food stores.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Good to hear from you again, Arlene. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I will be praying for you. That's a lot to go through and keep off the pity bandwagon. It's times like these when I pray for the right words to say to help you feel better, but they're not there. That is the one thing we are all hoping not to hear. I pray that it is isolated and they can remove it. Does this affect whether you are a candidate for a transplant?
