I have cancer.

[maldorf]

Not good...last time I checked a couple weeks ago...
Cancer has spread to his lymph nodes...his bones and lungs..

Wow, that's bad to hear. I didnt know melanoma was that deadly. I had a couple of spots of basal cell carcinoma removed. Now I go to the dermatologist once a year for a skin checkup.

If you communicate with him, tell him I'm thinking about him.

Are you able to exercise any? That will increase hunger. Im not able to now because my heart is so bad. Im having more heart surgery next Thursday. Going into surgery is a little scary every time.

I take walks...that’s about it.

I have been off everything since my surgery...Will start a HRT dose on Monday..hopefully that’ll help
Gonna try Emerics thing...10mgs a day.

yeah Mal...been following your ordeal..hope everything goes right on Thursday...

How old are you brother? I started reading through the whole thread and stopped after a few pages.

 

[UsmcOldSchoolMuscle]

I’m good..a little frustrated...
Still no appetite.

Do you have an option for Marinol? I've heard good things about this medication (cannabinoid). I've taken it and truly couldn't stop eating.
I do not wish to downplay your struggle, by referencing my own experience. Just wish to potentially help in some way if possible. It may be impossible for me to truly empathize with what your enduring but please know that the PM community is here for you.

Support and Positive Vibes way2tense
