It\'s that time again

Holly, I'm glad about the claim. Maybe you got that "compassionate" consideration this time. I got a check from Doran's SSDI, I think the day after he died. No explanation.

But later, they explained, and they went back to date of diagnosis, added five months, started counting and sent the total to October.

I hope you get a big fat check. It won't help a lot, but at least somebody is listening.

Hi all,

I wish I could say all is definitive and just peachy, but I never seem to get those kinds of reports. lol. Mine are not entirely bad but I am still nervous and following up to find some peace of mind...
One lymph node is pathologic in size and they want to wait and see on it. My liver is still with oddities, and they recommend wait and see again. And there is no plan to do anything with the bone tumor. They did tell me I need more B12 than what I have been getting and I hope that makes the wretched cramps in my feet go away! It is a pecarious place when you are stage 3 and I am working my way thru it. God Bless all and for all the prayers, Holly

PS I am very thankful for all my family here, and for the drs and medicine by which I am still here. Amen.

Good luck with the results Holly!

Hi Holly
I am glad they have agreed to your claim maybe thats the start of a positive phase for you.
I will be thinking of you today and really hope you get some clarity and help with symptom control at the very least.The cramps sound awful.
Take lots of care lots of love Lisa xxx

Hi,

It is Sunday night and I can't sleep...so here I am.

I have not yet heard back from the oncologist or the bone Dr. Tomarrow we are going a little early - maybe I can talk to the bone doc for even a few minutes.

The last day or two I have been trying to cope with some of the health problems...I am itching like a freak. That happens when my kidney labs are way off. My feet cramped up pretty hard yesterday and then again today - it has been about 3 weeks since I had a B12 so maybe they can figure out if that is it or maybe the labs will have some answers. But the cramping is not just a little - it really looks hideous and is very painful and usually goes a few hours at a time. And the bone pain has been rather high likely from the cold temps and rain en route. I hate to crab about it as it changes nothing but I sure wish they would do something effective to help me deal with it better.

In the afternoon I should have my results from last weeks tests and I hope to get the bone scan scheduled for sometime this week. On an off note, my ss was finlly approved...I lost my job when I was dx'd in 1/07. They initially denied my claim - now they tell me they have no idea why it was even denied in the 1st place. God Bless, Holly

Holly
