Tiger in the Sticks

I give my Boxer Trazadone. I read that reggae helps, so added that last night and it seemed to help. My other dog is unfazed.

Just turned 65 today, but haven’t pushed the button yet. Will likely step away by the end of the year.

No, he treated here in Baton Rouge.

He had such a great attitude and he actually had a complete response to chemo. Nothing showed on his PET scan, he was doing really well. Unfortunately, he relapsed a few months later and it was incredibly aggressive. The only way I got through it was my faith. God keeps showing up.

Yes, my husband had a very rare form of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. His chemo was inpatient, 24 hours a day for 5 days every 21 days. Part of his regimen included steroids, and he never had huge problems with nausea. I think he actually gained weight after diagnosis. His worst days were 3 or 4 days after we got home from the hospital. He would become very, very weak. We set up the hall bedroom because it was actually closer to the bathroom than the master would have been. I wasn’t supposed to use the same bathroom for the a few days because the chemo was eliminated through urine and it’s toxic. It was so bad for a couple of days each round that he could only walk from the toilet to the foot of the bed, sit down to rest and then crawl to the other end. I wore a mask and tried to keep everything as sterile as possible. Then he would gradually regain his strength and was back to mowing the lawn in the last few days before the next round. When he bottomed out, one of the things that gave me peace was praying for him from head to toe. He was incredibly strong and healthy before cancer, rarely even took anything for a headache. Like others have stated, every regimen and patient can be completely different. You will meet some incredible people-oncology nurses are angels. If she’s having side effects, communicate that to your care team. Use MyChart and/or call them; you’ll quickly figure out which is quicker. Praying for y’all.

I don’t think this is that big of a deal-but from the other things you’ve mentioned-there may be more going on here. Also, some people really go off the deep end with a cancer scare. Is she taking other meds she’s not telling you about? Anti-depressants can impact libido.

I think people have a lot of memories surrounding his music. I don’t think he’s fascinating, though.

Based on OM podcasts, Pete is the new Saban.

State or USM

He did it at his college graduation a couple of years ago, too. What a catch.
