Hi Everyone:
If I pound hard,it works...a bit.
Jim's doctor was not in today, sothere was no consultation with the radiology oncologist to see if they can radiate the tumor. It is only so that it will shrink it, to hopefully minimize pain,help his bowels, and prevent paralysis. It is not something that will cure him, as some are prone to think. That is still up to God, and we are still praying for that. The radiation would be purely palliative care at this point.
PALLIATIVE -a definition:
Palliative care (from Latin palliare, to cloak) is any form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of disease symptoms, rather than striving to halt, delay or reverse progression of the disease itself or provide a cure. The goal is to prevent and relieve suffering and to improve quality of life for people facing serious, complex illness. Hospices and non-hospice-based palliative care teams both provide care to those with life limiting illness at any stage of their disease.
We are not connected with "hospice" yet. You know. I feel like a mushroom. KEPT IN THE DARK AND FED HORSE POOP.

do you want to hear something funny? I've been working on this project with mushrooms for my ceramics class...and I think you just inspired the title of my piece! "Kept in the dark and fed horse poop". That is, with your permission :)
Here's to 'shrooms!
