Good news, Ed. That class of meds is very effective. Your docs know what's best for you and I'm glad you are eating too. Keep your eyes on Denmark!

Anytime, man! Glad you're feeling better.

For what it's worth Ed, your story and battle was a small part of my inspiration to make the decision to resign from my 100K job after 6 years and move to AZ to work on my health and well being for the next 6 months and screw any work.

Let me know if you need help.

I am humbled that you give me some credit for that! Take it from me, health is nothing to take for granted. I hope you renew yourself on many levels and grow from your experiences.

I am no longer going to be getting the experimental treatment. My bilirubin is still going up and that means something is blocking the bile drain down in my liver, probably the cancer tumor. I am jaundiced and it is probably also what has been making me throw up, so it may not be the narcotics. The doc even said it may be making me itchy, but I was not jaundiced when that all started. I am going back to my original team, so what happens next, I have no idea. I am worried about my body not allowing me to go on my trip, and if I don't go, I know that will be a factor in me dying.

I'm thinking of you, Ed. Positive vibes headed your way, brother.

Not to already harp on the weed but I really wish my old man had started smoking before he passed away, the cancer cause him to not be able to eat. He was just so against smoking pot and I really think it would of helped him but ed like everyone else please brother start with some edibles if the smoke is too harsh or vape instead, as always your in my thoughts viking warrior

This is the cause of your itching both now and recent past. Not going to be fun

Praying...

Dislocated my shoulder yesterday.

Love you brother. ;)

Thinking of you buddy

My grandmother, as well.

Hope Ed is doing better.

I had a very rough day yesterday. Pains were way up. I think I need new meds as they are messing up my stomach and I threw up some blood twice. Today, I go in for a liver drain to be placed in me. Slicing and prodding begins at 3:30 pm at the main KU hospital. If it allows my liver to drain bile, it should be a huge help, but drain it where exactly? This stuff is scaring me, guys.

Hang in there brother. I hope the drain does the trick. I was diagnosed with hodgkins in HS treated with radiation, came back in college treated with 22 months of chemo. If it hadn't been for weed I wouldn't have lived through round 2. It literally save my life. I wouldn't or couldn't eat, my counts we off, couldn't get treatments, then pneumonia and shingles set in finally this red neck kid received a package from a friend who couldn't take watching me like that. I had a little smoke, then for the first time in many many months killed a full order of biscuits and gravy. Receiving that package was my turning point. I'm praying for you and hope that you have relief after this procedure.
