My daughter in law had a lump taken out of her breast as some of you know. The doctor found a lot of infection that he also took out. He sent the lump off to be tested and she has cancer. Since she is only 27 years old I feel so bad for her. They have 2 young children. I'm so glad that she does self exams. She caught this early. He doctor took her in early and took this all out.
I can't stress enough that ladies must learn to do self exams on their breast. They have done some more blood work and will decide if she needs chemo or other some other type of treatment for this cancer.
I on the other hand have several things going on and have been in the hospital. I had no one to be at home with my babies and had to make them let me come home they wrote me orders for my doctor to do testing out of the hospital. They did 4 ekg's while I was there and 3 blood work things for heart something I forget what they called it. My blood pressure went from being extremely high to extremely low and extremely low pulse rate. hey never told me what was up or for what reason anything was going on.
I have to do the tread mill thing. And other test. I have to have oxygen at home and other breathing treatments during the day. A nebulizer. They hit me with so much stuff to take in. I don't know if that was all of it or not. But as you can see that's why I have not been here. I was not well for days before I went to the hospitla just trying to handle it myself.
So forgive me everyone for not being here to answer everyones discussions or emails. I have been in bed for a week or longer. Which is where I am off to now.
Thank you all for your patience with me.
Prayers for my daughter in law would be greatly appreciated. also for me please...thank you all so much.
To make this a discussion...has anyone else been feeling not so chipper lately? has anyone been feeling really well lately? I like it when I feel well...lol
Thank you for all responses.

The burdent hat you are carrying is big and heavy. Know that you are loved by your family and friends and people (especially me) will be praying for you her on Mylot. I pray right now that your DIL's cancer will never return. do you knbow the Soursop fruit? where I live poeple take it for Cancer ans it shrinks the cells. go online and read about it or send me a pm and I will send you an email all on it. amazing fruit. I know personaly 2 people who have been cured. YOu need to make a tea out of three leaves and a piece of the stem and drink daily. It hunts down the canecerous cells and kills them without destroying healthy cells. Blessings

I am starting to take it every day as it will prevent a cancer from forming. There is also something called Guinea Hen Grass. where I work, an owner has gone to the States for his 9th bout of chemo and he wanted to give up. After i month on both soursop and guninea hen grass the doctors are amazed as his blood count is totally improved. They asked him in Miami what he had done and he told them. He is also now a vegetarian. I saw him driving his car a few days ago. He hasn't driven sincew last year. The Pharmaceutical Companies sometimes stop things being published for selfish reasons/. I will send it to you. Tryand pm me today as I will not be at work tomorrow. This is why it is important for plants not to become extinct as there is a cure for everything on this planet Earth

Thank you my dear friend. I do so look forward to seeing you as well as some others here. I come in for a short time as that's all I'm able to do. About 10 minutes is all my body lets me do on the computer or being up doing anything. So I write to my mother and check on you all here as much as I can. Take care dear friend I'll be right as rain soon.

My prayers go to you, your daughter-in-law, and your entire family. Keep your chin uo and have faith, things will turn out just fine.
As for your question, I have not been feeling that great, and I haven't had the time to tend to myself because everyone else in my house has been getting sick too. My husband slept almost all weekend, and so did my yougest three kids. My oldest is a lot like me and even when h isn't feeling well, he does his best to push through it.
I haven't been able to do much here at all in the last several days. I hope to get to things tomorrow and reply to some of the posts on my discussions. I feel bad when I don't get to them all the time, but I don't like to start when I know I won't finish at least one or two discussions. It makes me feel like I am letting you all down.
As for you, don't worry about us, worry about getting yourself feeling better. We will all be here.

It sounds like you have your hands full. I know I feel bad when my family is sick and when I'm sick too that's really bad because I have to do everything for everyone. My husband is so good when he is here he takes such good care of me and everyone when we are sick and he is not. My prayers go out to you and your family. Thank you for thinking of us in your time of need yourselves.

My problems pale in comparison to what you and your family have to deal with right now. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are feeling better soon and I hope your daughter-in-law gets exactly the right treatment and makes a quick and full recovery. God Bless.

Moon-
I'm afraid I've been on for only a bit of time myself, and am sorry to hear about your hospital stay. I hope htat things begin to improve for you and that they can treat whatever is going on. My prayers for your daughter-in-law as she recovers as well. It is a difficult thing to go through at any age. And yes, those early self-exams are something every woman should be doing.
I do not wish to take from your thread, but suffice to say I did a two day hospital stay myself last week (just to answer your thread question lol), and have not ben myself since then. I'm getting better with the medications, but there are days I just get so frustrated with it. My recent martial arts workout was curtailed because the dizzy spells kept interfering, though I did most of it done. My hopes are that it will disappear in 4 weeks as promised by doctors.
Namaste-Anora

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having dizzy spells I know how those are as I have them myself. I hope the doctors are right and they go away. If they don't then go back to them and tell them. Don't put it off, go back and tell them they didn't go away as they said they would. Put it back on them to check you out and find out what is wrong. They should not slough this off. If they don't help you then find a doctor that will, you may need a neurologist or an eye nose and throat doctor or internist. I'd go in that order. I wish you good luck in finding the cause of your problem. They should have let you know what was causing your dizziness instead of saying it will go away in a few weeks or so. hey shouldn't shurk their duties.
You need to know what is causing your dizziness while it is happening. They need to get to the root of the problem to know if it needs to be treated.
Best of luck to you.

I have been wondering and now I am sadly surprised to hear it's cancer, I am so sorry to hear of this. Knowing my tumor was so large and I was young as well I guess I either thought or had hope it would be like mine was, mine was not cancer.
You need to really take care of yourself as well. Seems when it starts it has no ending. I will continue to pray for you folks and Please take good care of yourself.

I'm sorry to keep you wondering and waiting. I hate it but I just found out as she did too. She also didn't want to bother me as I was in the hospital myself. When I called her to tell her I was home she told me that when I was there she got her results. I guess when it rains it pours, lol. We will get through it with the help of each other and family and friends. Having you all to talk to and family helps me tremendously. I'm not able to be up for long periods of time right now. But when I'm able to get up I come to my computer to write to you all and my mama. It's been cold and snowing here since I got home from the hospital I hope it stops soon so I can get out and go to the doctor. I may have to go in the snow we will see. I have to go before the weekend. Thank you for thinking of us and your prayers.

That's a great challenge for you...here's praying that everything will return back to normal, and that you will be comforted through the support of family and friends. I know how it feels to be sick and have someone in the family who is sick. But after the storm will be a peaceful and calm life for you and your family...here's wishing and praying for the best for you...

I am sorry that you are not feeling good.I hope you have been to your doctor.I pray for you often. I pray for your daughter-in law also. As you know I never feel chipper anymore.I don't think I can remember what it feels like to feel well anymore.(LOL). Look in your shoppers guide or whatever it is called where you live.You might find an oxygen concentrator for sale in it. Sometimes they have one for sale in mine.There was one in it not long ago but someone beat me to it.If you could find one I have the tubing and the nose piece I could send you some and tell you what setting to put it on. Take care,I hope you will be feeling better real soon.

Thank you so much for the advice and the offer for the hose and the advice. This is all new to me and I am rather lost about it all. Thank you so much. I'm sorry that you don't have any good days. I do know what you mean though it's been that way for me a long time now. I just haven't told my family as I didn't think they would understand and they cant do anything so why worry them? right... You take care as much as you can and we will talk here as much as we can and in email too as much as we can. It's so hard when we are not able to do anything or go anywhere. That's why our computers are so important for us. I love you and many blessings to you.
