    Lots of prayers for @Rossweisse.

    I'm having a rough day today, but it's small beer compared to what the Valkyrie is going through.
  • Praying
  • Lots of prayers for everyone here. And @Rossweisse, hoping you - and everyone here - will feel held and loved.
  • I will be spending the next hour dragging my body around the track at the YMCA. It's a solitary activity with virus precautions in place, but it's a great time for praying, and you will all be accompanying me this morning.

    Back from hospital. I had an idea which I was keeping in my jeans pocket to use at the end of my consultation: "Why don't we just wait and see? I am not suffering that much. If I tell you how I feel and bring you blood tests every month you can then decide when it's bad enough to change drugs".
    But I didn't even need to as the doctor suggested it himself, saying I was on the best drug even if it was not working at 100% so we will just "wait and see". (They say that in English to show how cool they are.) I will bring him blood tests monthly and tell him how I feel.

    Now I just have to get the bloody thing - probably off one of my insurances - the personal one or the kibbutz one. Fair enough - the Public Purse has its limits which I have far exceeded. Even an old-school Socialist like myself can admit to limits!

    I am over the Moon!

    Glad to hear your good news @Galilit!

    (I thought I'd already said this.)
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Happy to read this, @Galilit!
  • Clarification: this last post is the report on my "Now what are we going to do?"consultation with my oncologist after my scan showed progression on existing tumors.
    We are going to wait and see ...
  • KyzylKyzyl Shipmate
    Ross, from our days on the AOL boards until now you've been an inspiration in wit, snark, and orneriness. You're in my thoughts.
  • @Galilit Prayers that the waiting may be filled with the goodness of life.

    Long time lurker, rare poster, just popping in to say that while I may not comment I am always praying for all. Particularly at the moment (and I hope the others understand) for Rossweisse.

    Thank you, @Kyzyl!

    @Galilit, blessings on you! May you prosper under the new mantra of "wait and see."

    Prayers ascending for @Robert Armin, @idj, and all others suffering from this monstrous disease. May all be healed.

    Thank you, @tessaB and @Lyda.

  • My prayers continue for @Galilit and @Robert Armin, for @idj and for our Valkyrie.

    @Rossweisse, I cherish the time and the spinach pizzas we've shared (along with a good Côtes du Rhône). I pray that in the days ahead, you feel comforted and upheld by the love and prayers of this community and know the peace that passes all understanding.
  • Prayers.
  • Robert ArminRobert Armin Shipmate, Glory
    Still can't shake off this wretched infection. Woke up in the small hours coughing up bile. Not my idea of fun.
  • Ross, I've come late to the news. You have always been in my prayers - today at our virtual service as others . Thank you for being the wonderful open pertson you are: may God continue holding you in the palm of his hand.
  • Whee!
    Just got permission for 3 more months of my drug from the Public Basket (free)
    4 more days in this cycle ... then a week off!!
