Carbonman,
I've not visited this forum in many months and have not posted in well over a year yet for some reason I signed on today to see your post. I send this magic to Shirley Ann and to you.
Be well.

I am very sorry to hear about your sister Shirley Ann, Carbonman, and will be pulling for her. Some years ago, I got great help and experienced a sense of community in the colorectal cancer online community of ACOR, the Association of Online Cancer Resources, at http://www.acor.org. It used a listserve format, not as nice as our forum here on CPAPtalk, but the substance was great. People from around the world swapped information about clinical trials, ways to fight nausea, and endless other subjects. There was a great deal of fellowship as well. Your sister may have found other communities, but I mention this one because I knew it at first hand and still remember how much it meant to find people with direct experience who wanted to help others facing the same trials.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
It is a roller coaster. I'm not used to the ride.
Shirley is holding her own. A setback yesterday.
Bile duct from liver is blocked. As soon as blood is thick
enough, endoscopy procedure to put in a stint.
Then, start cumoden(spl) blood thinner for at home.
So, maybe home by Fri.
Get some eating going and strength to begin the cemo.
Keep believing.
I do.

to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."
