Results will be available to me one week after scan. I’ll post results after I get them. Thanks to all of my forum family and supporters. I’m still going through wrapping my mind around all of this. I’m still very emotional and prone to bouts of depression, crying, etc. As I’ve said, it’s a...

Unfortunately, I was chewing a piece of gum as I talked to the receptionist. They cancelled my appointment and set a new one for next Friday. Their email said no food or drink except water after midnight, but they didn’t tell me that gum with sugar would interfere with the scan. I was kind of...

I saw the oncologist 8-01-23. He has scheduled a PET scan on 8-04-23 to see if cancer has spread to other organs. He said without treatment that I have 3-6 months. If the cancer has spread, it would be classified as stage 4. At any rate, due to my other disabilities (diabetes, spinal stenosis...

Thanks for this information. I will give it a go.

In the event of any further Inogen supply needs, eBay has most anything you could need except for the actual concentrator.

Up at four w/ back pain. Took pain meds, back to sleep until 7 am. Waiting until pharmacy opens at nine to call and initiate pain med refill due today. For some reason they don’t auto fill narcotic scripts, you have to call and tell them you’re going to be in that day. Last month I called and...

Not yet, I’ve had difficulty driving due to shortness of breath. I had oxygen tanks, but my disability due to my back pain (due to cracked vertebrae, spinal stenosis, and arthritis) made it very hard to use a cane or Walker and tote a heavy tank. But a friend bought me an Inogen G5 oxygen...

Thank you. The prayers and support from you and the other members of the forum mean a lot to me. I was feeling very alone in this.

There’s a dealership I’ve seen on YouTube that does it right. I think it’s in Kansas. You order your vehicle through them, and it’s shipped to your house. I don’t know what you do about dealer prep, though. They claim the lowest prices in the country. When I was shopping for my ‘22 BS, I watched...

A little late in my response. I was re-reading the replies to my thread and drawing some strength from the replies. I quit once about thirty years ago. I didn’t smoke for about six months. I could smell a stinking cigarette from twenty yards away. Why did I start again? I really missed a...

Thank you for the prayers. I ordered a large print Bible from Amazon yesterday, should be here tomorrow. In the meantime, I can look up the verses you offered online. I’m planning on using the study guide, etc., to help me. I’ve never actually sat down and read/studied the Bible. I’ve heard a...

That was the main reason that I started this thread. If one person quits smoking in time to prevent their and their friends and family’s suffering from this disease, then that will make my experience not a total disaster. Even though I may never know of another’s success in quitting that comes...

Thank you Randall. People’s testimony about their faith is very uplifting and both inspires me and gives me hope. I’m being re-baptized soon. I was baptized at a very young age, due to pressure. This time is by choice. Pray for me if you will.

God bless you too, my friend. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.

Even though I haven’t attended church much as an adult, I paradoxically have studied almost all religions since I was in my early twenties. . I took RCIA classes from a retired Monsignor about 20 years ago. The Catholic Church building is the only church building that I ever felt a great peace...

Thank you for the prayers. I was raised religious, but it was always in the background of my adult life. Not now, needless to say. It may be hypocritical, but now, in my time of need and despair, I’ve turned back to prayer. I’m going to call the church down the road from me, and see if they...

Thanks for your prayers. I need all I can get. Like the old saying “There are no atheists in a foxhole” the same is true here. I’ve been praying myself, after a long period of time where religion was far down on my list of important things. May G-d bless us both.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. Everything I read said once the lymph nodes were involved, the prognosis was poor. You have given me some hope. Thank you again.

Thanks. If you’re a religious person, prayers are appreciated.

I said similar things in my younger days. I remember saying, “You have to die from something.” But there are easier ways to go than this. My words have come back to haunt me..
