Zirbel's shout trail with Pink Freud - Help.com

I’m sorry if I offended you by liking Jame’s comment. That was certainly not my intention.

Nice to hear! Fine for you! I’m glad!

I’m well too.
Two days ago I had an other PET CT to control, how the second cycle of chemotherapy worked. The tumor shrank just a little bit more, but not that much like after the first cycle.
Now my oncologist will discuss the next steps with his colleagues — continuation of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery?
I rejected the possibility to have a big thorax surgery with the removal of the whole right lung. Beside the monstrosity of such a surgery, I think the risk is too high, that the left lung could be affected later — and then I would be stuck. He did understand this very well.
But if the tumor shrinks a good piece more, a special surgery could be available: targeted through the spread ribs …
We will see.
However, I still feel confident.

I’m good. I’m much better now that I’m off the anti-depressants and I’m passing my math class. How are you?

How are you, my dear?

Thanks! :)

Cool, sweetheart!
I wish you all the best.
You will be a good psychologist, no doubt.

That’s great news; glad to hear it!

Thanks, I will.

I return to school on Monday and I’m only 18 credits way from graduating with my Associate of Arts in Psychology degree.

Fortunately I have no pain at all!
And I don’t remember if I’ve told you: The PET CT (radioactive computer tomography) at the end of the first chemotherapy cycle showed, that my lung tumor has shrunken by half, which seems to be extremely successful. Even my oncologist was very astonished about this.
And because my cancer is on the so called State IV (which means: primary tumor which made metastasis already), they were never targeting a surgery. But now they broach it, because of this very good process.
But the prospect, that I could have a thorax surgery with the excision of the whole of one of the two lungs, doesn’t wing me in fact. :-)
 
Well, you have a nice program for the coming days! Enjoy it!
♡

I’m ok.

I went ice skating with a friend yesterday and tomorrow my mom and I are going to a rally and then Tuesday I’m going to go to see a career counselor to discuss ways to get my foot in the door an agency that counsels people.

I’ve recently changed my major from Forensic Psychology to Mental Health Counseling Psychology.

Good luck with your pain management.

I’m very fine, my dear! Hope you too?
Have you already made an appointment for a “social event” this days?

I’m glad, that you’re on psychotherapy again!
Just today I’ve seen an interview with a “pain doctor” (specialized on neurologic induced pains), and he said, that psychotherapy is inevitable for supporting chronical pain treatments (of any kind).
And I thought that he is very right.

Hey!

How are you today?

and again
:-)

ditto

My answer is on the way to you.

ok

I got it, and I will study it carefully, but I need some time for, ok?

Sent

OK, it’s on its way

Yes, my dear, please send it to me.
I’m interested on all of you. ;-)

Hey!

I was wondering if you’d be interested in reading a final I wrote for my reasearch writing class a couple years ago. Shout me back and let me know. If you are I’ll e-mail it to you.

You’re welcome.

Thank you, my dear

Thanks. The feeling is mutual. :)

I like you!
Sending [[[HUGs]]]

You’re welcome.

Thank you!

No, it was fine. He also reported it and after looking at it I saw nothing worthy of removal.

Hey, tell me, was my reply really a rude one on this post:
http://help.com/post/554359-i-need-a-…
?
I don’t understand poster’s reaction at all.

Thanks!

Replied.

You have an e-mail.

I got it, thank you. (I will probably reply later.)

I hope for you that the SOD specialist will help you more!

Replied.

I’m feeling alright. Still in a lot pain and feeling unwell. But I see an SOD specialist this week.

I’ll e-mail you.

Hi dear!
I feel “amazingly” well!
The last PET CT of the beginning of last week showed, that the lung cancer is shrunken to the half of its size! Even my oncologist was very amazed about it.
So the chemotherapy will go ahead. I entered already into the second cycle. And I’ve no problem with, and no harmful secondary effects!
Thank you for asking.

And how are you?
You didn’t answer anymore to my last mail concerning SOD an some specific (historic) background. Did you keep track of it? (Don’t answer here, of course!)

Hey! How are you?

Maybe you also know the existing Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction Forums, Communities and Support Groups:
· http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/sphi…
· http://www.mdjunction.com/sphincter-o…
· http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Gallblad…

Thanks for the info. Going to log off and rest now. Ttyl

Yes, it seems, unfortunately, that on SOD the pain will come back again and again.
But don’t let you get down — the most important!

B.t.w. Medical Marijuana could be helpful too! There is also an oral version (Marinol), which you have not to smoke, but it’s a bit less effective.

Thanks!

They’ve tried the medical route and it didn’t work for me. The doctor who did the ERCP said that I would likely need pain management therapy for the rest of my life and that if I got another bout of pancreatitis severe enough he would have to consider doing another ERCP.

I see him this July and at that time I’ll see what he says.

Hi dear!
This Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction seems to be a very complex disorder and not yet explored deeply.

This link (maybe you know it already) was very helpful for me to understand it better: http://www.hopkins-gi.org/GDL_Disease…

Latest scientific resources (maybe you know them too):
· “The diagnosis and management of Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction: a systematic review” (Book): http://www.springerlink.com/content/t…
· “Medical treatment for sphincter of oddi dysfunction: Can it replace endoscopic sphincterotomy?” (Article online): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic…

I hope and wish you all the best!

Thanks!

Hey, I love the way you make your mod job!
You’re quick and trustworthy.

bye. Talk to you later. :)

Same to you!
Bye bye!

OK, good to hear!

Anyway, it has been nice talking to you. But I have to run to the store. I’ll bbl if you want to chat some more. Have a good day.

:)

No, I will not quit life yet! ;-))

I mentioned only the thing what you said in your “Btw”-part.
And thank you for your cheering up!

What do I mean?

I’d hate to see you pass; I hope you live a long healthy, happy life. That’s all I meant.

Btw, I don’t feel you dominate this site with your replies. You are very helpful to many users here and don’t let anyone lead you to believe otherwise. :)

But sometimes I think whether I should abstain here a little bit.
I don’t want to dominate this site with my replies at all. But to others it could look like.
What do you mean?

Same to you, Zirbel.

You’re a very valued friend and member on this site and we’d hate to lose you. So hope everything continues to go well for you. :)
