Hey all, I certainly wasn't expecting to be posting a vanity like this when this morning started. Mrs. Doomonyou and I moved to Texas a month or two ago fulfilling a five year dream to get out of CA for a red state and God answered big time. We're still getting moved in and the new job is going great. As a result of getting out from behind a desk and out in the field I'm away from a total A hole boss. Anyway, I dumped about 18 pounds just being more active and out of the stress. So two weeks ago I'm starting to feel kind of bloated and full all the time and tired due to having problems falling asleep. I've been eating as much as comes out the backside which isn't Much. This morning I saw my Doc, had blood, urine work and a CT scan. Wasn't sure what to expect.
Prayer Warriors....update for Doomonyou.

I don’t know how I missed the part about your mom, but I pray for strength for her when she finds out your condition. Moms do take their kids’ illnesses very seriously, no matter what their ages! God bless your family!
Good luck Sir.
Prayers for you and yours.
BTTT
Continued prayers for you and your family.
I’m sorry you got this kick in the stomach. I’m praying for strength, for you and your family. I know you’re heading into a hard fight. God bless you.
Really appreciate the update. Thanks. Your attitude is good, and that is important for the immune system. Stay upbeat! Your Mom will need time to absorb what is happening, but she raised you and probably passed on positive feelings to you. You will continue in my prayers each night, with added thoughts for your Mom.
Just came to this thread through the ‘cancer ping’ and I am so sorry to read all this.
I shall include you in my daily prayers.
Prayers continuing for you and for your family....
Lay you in a good supply of Ginger Root capsules for the puking. I’ve a digestive disorder that causes puking and the Ginger Root capsules work great on stopping it and you can take as much as you want with no side effects as it is just a spice. I get mine from Vita Cost. Can take them as often as necessary, they do work. Look for the BOGO sales which can get you free shipping.
Safe enough even for a pregnant woman. Does not interfere with other meds.
Prayers for you.
Been kind of a hurry up and wait week, but we've made some progress looks like.
Just got back from the hospital and got the chemo port installed. No sweat, just got some ice on it. The big blessing is that they drained all the fluid off my abdomen after the port was installed when I hit the recovery room. I thought I would be out for that but was conscious, tuned out not to be a big deal at all. A local in my side and they stuffed a tube in there and in about 20 minutes the drained off FIVE AND A HALF liters of some nasty looking green and then brown toxic waste. So I left the house this AM at 180 lbs and got home at 167 lbs. The over inflated beachball that was my gut looks normal again, heck I haven't been this size since we got married 30 years ago.
Cancer: great way to lose weight, not recommended.
It will only last a few days before the fluid comes back but by then the chemo will start and hopefully that will help keep it from accumulating. The meds I got to keep the fluid from building up weren't keeping up so the last couple days were pretty rough.
Had the PET scan Tuesday night and the crud has not spread anywhere else so there's a praise! Charlotte headed home yesterday and it was a blessing to have her for a week. Carter called work and got another week here so another praise.
Thanks for the prayers for my Mom, she called the kids when they were here so I answered the phone and broke the news, as to be expected, it was hard to take for her, but the good news is she jacked her flights around so she's with us for right now for 4 or 5 days (working on a Chuck roast for dinner, which I will inhale tonight!) So I'll get a good chance to load up on some good food, get some good sleep and be about as best as I can before the chemo starts, then we'll break out the juicer for some power food. Ginger tea will be on the menu. :)
Also, all the test results, data, and everything else in on the way to MD Anderson.
So The next fun little step in this adventure will be the first chemo experience, which will be two hours of pure joy I'm sure, then the fallout for the next couple days after.
Thanks again so much for all the prayers and support! Blessings to all.
Jeff and Lisa
Best of luck!
Thank you for the update.
More prayers up for you guys.
Praise for the silver linings and prayers continue....for your healing and comfort...and for your family....dear Mom included :)
In His Holy name.
Thanks for the update and prayers continue. Hubby has had 2 rounds of chemo now out of 6 and he is really handling it well. Has not thrown up and his appetite is pretty good. Hang in there and thanks for keeping us posted.
He now has a port for chemo, and his records have been forwarded to MD Anderson. :-) See the post for more details.
Thank you, Jeff, for the update!
I didn't notice this little side effect until I got home.
I'm pretty "blessed" in the body hair department. Theses guys shaved a straight line just above my nipples up to my neck. They bloody clear cut half my chest! What am I suppose to do with that? LOL. It's pretty nasty looking.
Glad your Mom is there.
