**** man. Stay strong.
Damn it. I haven't been feeling very good the last few days but I need to get off the pity party and go to work. You're the man Ed. Keep fighting. Don't be a pussy like Buehler445 |

You are a hard working man out in a far less hospitable part of Kansas than I am. There is nothing pussy about you at all.

I've hit a snag with my treatment. It was supposed to actually begin today, Tuesday, but yesterday, my blood test revealed an extremely high bilirubin count, which usually means a blockage in the liver or gall bladder. After I got home Monday, I took a pain pill and within 15 seconds, violently threw up several times. It was bad enough that I was gasping for breath and holding onto the sink to keep from going to the floor. The nurse called me a bit after that and said they had me scheduled for an ultrasound at 4:30 pm. That went strangely. The tech couldn't find my gall bladder so she really started pushing down hard on my abdomen, which hurt like hell and is a major reason why I am awake at 3 am writing this.
She eventually found it, hiding away and contracted. I asked if that was good or bad. She said it was good, looks fine, and is just trying to make room for my swollen lymph nodes and all. At least one of my organs isn't trying to kill me. So, with no blockage, the mystery remains, why do I have the bad numbers and why am I throwing up so much? My treatment has been suspended and I don't know for how long. I can't eat much anymore and my weight is rapidly dropping, which for cancer patients, is not a good thing. I am down to 193 lbs. and was at 220 lbs. near the end of November last year. |

The appeal is growing. As for my throwing up, I have a feeling it's the morphine, so my body doesn't like anything ending with "codone" or morphine. It's just a tiny little pill, 2 mg of the stuff, but it sure can make me feel like I could turn my guts inside out.

I am disheartened to hear your latest information. I would definitely suggest the medical cannabis for nausea. You need relief. My prayers will intensify for you today.

As it pertains to Gonzo's post above, my old man takes trips to Colorado just about every other month. He purchases a vast variety of cannabis edibles as he can no longer smoke due to mild emphysema. If you would like, I can ask him if he would be willing to meet up with you and make arrangements to bring some products back for you on his next trip. Let me know. |

My brother lives in Colorado, so should I need some alternative meds, he can help me out there. Thanks, though!
In other news, I took a strong anti-nausea med last night and half an hour later, timidly ate an apple. It stayed down. That was at 9 pm. At 3 am, I was in need of another pain pill and I had a small bowl of Cheerios with it, and that stayed down. For breakfast today, I had two boiled eggs, yogurt, orange juice, and a Boost. It's still with me. I am sleepy, but feel almost good. My brother said I look much better today and not like I was about to fall over at any moment like I looked the past two days. |
