Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Like my area is cannabis capital of NY, it grows like weeds here. 😂. But I've had to learn to not talk about it because, other areas are like 😲

According to the internet there is this about dipnech cancer:
"DIPNECH has an indolent course and only rarely leads to respiratory failure or death; progression to overt neuroendocrine tumor (carcinoid) of the lung occurs in a minority of patients. Of available therapies, somatostatin analogs and mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors are the most promising."
I am quite fascinated, as I am an old retired RN, a cancer survivor (so far!) times two, and never heard of this cancer. From the little I can find your MD is correct, but I certainly would be the last to know anything much about this cancer. I wish I had more for you.
Admins: I am also hoping this post from Deb can move up to questions, somehow. Self-reporting.
I have lost all motivation and limited to reading and watching tv.Visits with friends and relatives limited,because I feel nauseous all the time. What can I do to regain momentum? i don’t know what is causing my lack of motivation and my fatigue. Hypothyroidism,
medications and see endocrinologist every six months. Clinical depression,now on meds I think are making me nauseous. Is this just part of aging? I’m 70,but before surgery felt like I was 50. My husband is 75.
way too long a post, but can anyone help? Does dipnec do this to body? Nobody,including my doctors know how to treat it. Thoracic surgeon diagnosed it and called in oncologist…who tells me not to worry about it.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
Glad you are having good weather. You are going to be totally shocked , we had rain 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ today. 😂 30 percent chance turned into all day rain. We did have 48 hours without rain, just started to dry up a little last night.
Hubs getting sick I wouldn't stress so much, but getting sick in another country, I just couldn't handle that!
R is healing quite well, even without his meds for a few days. it's not a photosensitivity as he apparently hasn't been taking any supplements for a while. He has a few tender spots but over all he looks much better, the itching has stopped and the swelling is down. I guess we have some ideas for when the air quality gets bad again which it probably will. Thankful for some rain and humidity, and today a lovely bright sunny day with temps around 21C (70F).
Will give my son a nice generous sum of money.
We got some pretty decent weather today, been about 24 hours since we last saw rain, it's drying up a bit. Got a good walk in, doing some lawn work.
We have a friend just like your husband and mine. He is constantly complaining about his aches and pains, went to doc, told the doctors it's gout. Doc gave him steroids. So me and my husband call him everyday to tell him to get tested for tick illness, and see how he is feeling. He finally SAYS, he will get tested tomorrow. Will see, he digs ponds and septics for a living. So gosh darn stubborn, he says a rattle snake can bit him and the rattler goes and dies!! Lol. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid. 😂
Anyways my other friend who had a brother in hospital, I never heard the out come. Friendship issues, 😂 , way to much drama in her life for me.
Daisy - Thanks for asking. it is not clearing up fast but it is healing. The backs of his hands were still swollen a couple of days ago.Thankfully the air quality is good these days. He realizes he needs to wear gloves and a brimmed hat outside. I told him he would look good in a Crocodile Dundee hat lol. He forgot his meds here the other day and has been out at the farm since which won't help but he has baking soda out there which will. I know he is busy. What can you do???
