bad news

March 3, 2004

Barb, You, your brother, and your family are in my prayers. I'm terribly sorry.

Anytime you need to talk, instant message me. It always looks like we're online

because we have high speed cable modem, so we are online 24/7. I'm not up as

late as I used to be since I'm working or in school in the mornings, but I am

usually at my desk around 1-2 a.m. Buzz me anytime.

Sending positive vibes your way. Be safe. {{{{big hug}}}} sheila

So sorry to hear this I lost a friend two years ago this month from

the same thing, she was only 40. This is one of the hardest to treat

because it just travels so fast. My girlfriend had a mole on her

ankle and it was already in her knee--and then traveled to her brain.

It was 4 years of trying to battle it with everything. Who would of

thought a little mole would do this?

I wish I could tell you not to give up but I know near the end no one

wants to hear someone say you could try this or that.

I am sure he has tried everything. My heart goes out to you and your

family!!!! tina

Barb,

So sorry to hear your bad news but I am so glad you will get to spend two

of yourself too.

[ ] Bad News

Checked into the hospital yesterday because my doctors were unable to determine the cause of my fevers for the last 2+ weeks. They hooked my up to an IV for antibiotics, and ran a cat scan and a chest xray. The xray was to check for TB, which I do not have. The cat scan checked my liver and all nearby organs, abdomen, etc.

To make a long story short I have liver cancer. Foci (tumors) "too numerous to count."

So, no TX but (I hope) a transplant. I have read though, in my Hep C book by Harriet Washington, that if you have more than 2 or 3 tumors they will not do a transplant. Also, if you have had previous abdominal surgery (which I have, colon removal) you also are not a suitable candadate for a transplant.

I see my GI Dr at 9:15am tomorrow (yes, Saturday). Hopefully I will learn more then.

If anyhow has knowledge that would address my suitability as a liver transplant candidate, please share it with me.

Thanks,

Ray

Sue,

It¹s hard to loose a trusted physician. Finding new doctors was one of the

hardest things for me to do when I moved to another state. I hope you find

a replacement that measures up to your current rheumy.

June, I consider that rheumatologist one of my earthly angels. I will

never find another doctor like him. Another thing I like about him is

his sense of humor. Yesterday when the nurse took me to an examining

room, we passed by him standing in the hall. I heard him say, " Let me

go in and say hello to my girlfriend. (I'm old enough to be his mother,

LOL.) He came in, shook my hand, and asked me how I was. He always made

me feel like his most important patient, and I'm sure he made most of

his patients feel the same. I wish I could clone him.

Sue, I'm sorry that your losing your rheumy, that is BAD NEWS! Maybe

he can refer you to someone that he highly recommends, I know it

won't be the same, we just have our favorites.

I really like my rheumy, he is a very nice gentle man. He comes in,

sits with you, and makes you feel important. He will explain to you

what's going on, and what he can do. He doesn't run you in like a

bunch of cattle going to a sale, I have to put my sense of humor

in once in awhile:)

There are a lot of us Okie girls on the board that go to Dr.C, and

all you ever hear is wonderful comments about him.

Don't give up though, you will find another kind doctor that will

take good care of you, T

A little back ground on this story in the middle 70's I was a Tool

Make working in the Plastic Department. The Co. was trying to come

up with a plastic tough enough to stamp out steel panels in a Die.

We were working with a lot of volatile Chemicals mixing different

plastic's together with out the proper protection. They were mixing

plastics with there bare hands and cleaning them with chemicals to

get it off there hands. We were also cutting and grinding the

plastic without proper venting so there was fiberglass dust in the

air all day long. Here is what happened a lot of the men would get

a bad rash so bad they could not work on the plastic. So the Co.

would put them on sick leave rather then put then to work in a

different department so they only got half there pay. As time went

on one after the other was getting sick we were in the Union and

they got the Co. to make the place safe to work in but it was to

late for us. I worked with 40 guys and 15 Pattern Makers in the

same room. Today except for my self the last Tool Maker died of

cancer yesterday. I never had a health problem in my life until I

worked in this Department. I was a Machine Designer before becoming

a Tool Maker and knew about safety working with Chemicals so I

always put on gloves when working with plastic mixing never let it

get on my hands. I was called a pussy for doing this and now I am

the only one left. I have seen my co-works get sick and be harassed

for it by the Co. then little by little they started dieing from

Brain Tumors, Testis Cancer, Leukemia, Lung Cancer and Colon

Cancer. I was lucky I did everything I could to protect myself

working in this department. But I still got sick I feel my low T

and messed up Immune System is the cause of working in this

Department. And to see the last guy go scares the shit out of me.

Forget about suing them it has been tried by both the men and the

Union and no one can prove that this is why all of the men got sick

and died.
