My 5th Cancer diagnosis...bad news keeps piling up

I'm so sorry to see this. I hope it helps to know how many people are pulling for you.

Sorry this seemingly unending ordeal is happening to you

The most important thing for anyone with cancer is to get on the proper diet. You have to give up the sugar and meat since they cause acid in the body. Check out the Gerson therapy. There are many ways for treating cancer you just need the information.

weird episode today. keeps getting stranger.

wife went to bedroom to take 1 hr nap before leaving for work at 2 pm today. Asked me to wake her up at 1:50. Told her no problem, as I was wide awake sitting on couch with laptop on the net, and kept an eye of the wall clock.

last thing I remember. Looked at clock, was 1:45, thought 5 more minutes, looked back at computer screen. next time my eyes blinked, it was 4 pm. I just woke up, in bed, in our spare bedroom, and I was fully clothed under the covers. Totally confused.

Texted wife later at work. She said she got up on her own at 1:48 and I was standing in the hall and supposedly said to her "my eyes are so tired I can't keep them open". She went into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she looked for me and couldn't find me. Finally she saw me in the spare bed, appearing to be asleep. She said she came back and told me she was leaving for work, but I seemed to be out of it.

Very puzzling and baffling to me. Drugs? No, I hadn't even had any pain medication in me yet, forgot to take my noon med pass. And I never, ever get in bed clothed fully, always take off my pants even when taking a nap, or at least have my robe on. Makes no sense, I have no conscious memory of anything that happened after 1:45.

Not the first time, had an episode where I was driving to a medical appointment, been there a million times, and blinked my eyes and it was 10 minutes exactly later. I was within 5 minutes of being on time, and right on course. Could not account for the 10 minutes.

Had told neurologist and the PTSD counselor that I have been having minor memory glitches recently. Today though, including sleep, I blinked out for over 2 hours.

Can't wait till the neuro can finish testing and seeing results of latest brain MRI behind me. Not saying this is the case, but have read of brain tumors causing blank outs of memories. This is something neuro wants to quickly rule out.

Yes, I am chocked fully of issues, never a boring day being me

I say old chap, you seem to be in a spot of bother again, or do I mean still. I am having a good old cup of tea as I type. I raise my cup to you!

I'll come at this tangentially: I hope the Vit B helps; Vit B boosters always made a big positive difference to my dad's general situation, so rooting for you on this one.

Won't comment too much about skin matters, as I have my annual check-up with the old dermantologist in a couple of weeks, but, if nothing else, you've reminded me to take my Vit D. Hope there's no bother with the skin grafts or what ever you end up needing to get it to heal up okay.

Positive thoughts sent to you from across the Altlantic.

Oh, David! Those memory gaps sound so very frightening! I am scared just reading about them.

I hope they are a passing thing, and you won't have any more of them. Please be careful.

Hugs from all the Lupies, esp. Barb & I.

thanks alf and clock. good to hear from you, lynn. been a while. and jet! there's a guy I haven't heard from in ages. I know there are those here with very serious PC situations, can't compare to them, but not sure anyone else in my 8 years here has had as many non-stop side issues, set-backs, and side effect problems as I. It's truly been endless, and seems to be no end in sight.

had the MRI's today. on the brain one, had to eject from the tube during the 2nd half for a few minutes, the operator (admitted later and apologized) that she shoved the contrast too quickly into the IV. Within seconds of being back in the tube, thought I was going to throw up violently. I was on my back, with my head held in place and no way to turn it away if I started puking, so I pushed the panic button. Out I slid. They had me sit on the side for a few minutes until things stabilized, then I gave the ok to go back into the tube to finish the test. That was a first for me, probably have had over 12 MRI's over the years. never a dull day for me.
