caregiver's concerns

Category: Life; | Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2010 10:21 am

hey, how is everybody doing? i had a couple of q's i wanted to put out there. i have a guy i have worked for the past 11 yrs. and about 14 months ago he was diagnosed with esphogeal cancer. they wanted to remove his esopegus asap. he went to or. health science universty to get a second opinion. the doctor said it was a lymph node in question and sent him to a colleage of his who specilzes in hard to reach biopsies and eus procedures. dr faigle said he scraped the barrets and got the lymph node. tony has had three eus procedures and everything looks great. dr faigle said in his heart he believes tony is cured. my question is has anyone been in similar circumstances and chose not to have the esophgus removed and go this route? tony is scared the cancer is incubating and he might be making a mistake not having the surgery. it would be a hard decision to make, having your esopegus removed would be radical. any feedback would be much appreciated. my friend patty who's not been feeling well for the past 7 weeks came over to spend the night. i'm taking her to an 8:30 a.m. appt. i am so nervous about her health. she has had really bad pain in her stomach, it has got so bad she has taken to staying in bed. when she moves it really hurts. i went and picked her up and told her to put on her p.j.s, get in bed and i would fix dinner. i told her i have a little bit of bossiness like my older sis! she needed some t.l.c. i tried paula deen's recipe for baked spagetti. it took a little time to make but we thought it was really good. am taking some to kim and tony. also made tony some banana bread. he really likes that. i also have a question about starting seeds, and if it's to late. i have som territorial sweet 100's tomato seeds and i have a shop light. is it to late to start them for the growing season? any plants you grow yourself are so much healthier and so much cheaper. geez, they want from four to five dollars a tomato plant for a one gallon tomato plant in june. i have my two dahlia beds ready to plant. i just love those, especially the cactus dahlias and decortve. i have one bed that is just for dahlias. the second bed is for whatever suits my fancy, which plenty does!! the third bed is for vegs. tony loves brussel sprouts and patty said they are easy to grow. i've never grown them but thought i would try this yr. i have got my green onions in. i cannot wait for summer to get here with the sunny weather and being able to get out and garden. it's so peaceful working with the plants and watching things grow. i even like weeding!! crazy huh? well guess i better go. in four hrs. we leave for patty's appt. won't get much sleep tonight. take care everyone and hope you have a joyful day!!!

Hi CM, wow lots of questions :) It's better to split up questions and ask them individually on the forums instead of in your blog. That way you will get more specific answers. Blogs are good for thoughts, forums are good for questions.
