Replying to: I guess I asked for this... Thank you, Pilgrimgirl66 (Angie). Today is a good day, I guess, eh? Day before yesterday in that meeting/consultation with the Pulmonologist, I was not so good. It'll be interesting as to how I feel tomorrow after the Biopsy. But I will be on here later in the day, none the less. Kinda feels good that when I registered on here, got an account, then a profile, I browsed around and even replied to...

Replying to: found lump, no insurance I understand your need for your daughter's health, but she needs her Dad as well. This really needs to be checked out and I wish it was checked out sooner than now, since it was known for such awhile. But yes, if need be, you need to feel like crap and get into see the Dr. Be up front with all symptoms and how long he has had this. The more information you can provide, the quicker you can get an...

Replying to: Need Help Thank you all for posting When I went to the hospital they did a CT scan of my head and the doctor said it was clear. But that was all he did he told me I had migraines and prescribed hydrocodine, and Reglan, which is for Gurder in pregnant women. That was told to my mother by the nurse who works at our church. He said that the Blacking out was caused by the migraines. But It came out of nowhere and I would never put...

Now they have done a bio and have found that the tumor has taken over one lung. They have suggested that she start radiation for two weeks. If the radiation does not stop the growth they want to put her in hospice. What I do not understand is why...

In the past, one retucin treatment would prevent my mom from having fevers at night or pains in her stomach, but now after the latest round of retucin treatments, she feels her body has become immuned to these treatments. She will be speaking to her doctor next week to...
