how to treat an ulcerated (breast) tumor

abigail48

I clean it up myself wrenn. I don;t believe there's anyone especially here could do anything other than harm and probably kill me a lot faster, it began bleeding again yesterday from moving stuff around in the trash room hunting for something that isn't there. if it's not there it isn't there

Thinking about you Abigail!

abigail48

moon square sun. last quarter moon, rain. worst blood event yet. quite weak, glad tomrrow can rest town trip wont; be easy the day after

cp418

abigail - is there anyone there checking on you or who can run any errands for you need?

abigail48

hi cp418. town trip tuesday will be difficult, took me a month to recover from the last event, also around this time, so I expect this will take another month before I get strong again. my fault I knew it was last q moon, knew it was raininng, KNEW I shouldn't monkey with it, broke a vein it seems with a q tip. at least it wasn't an artery. I have landlords nearby, helpers near by cell, neighbors just up the mt

wrenn

thank you for checking in Abigail. People here care about you. I wonder if someone can go to town in your place so you can rest? Are you ewting meat or something that will build your hemoglobin? Please take care

my helper brought 3 large bottles of organic mulberrry juice the other day. before this happened but I expect they have iron. I could get them to do the town trip but than I couldn't get my egg salad sandwich. my helpers run a cafe and I can't eat their egg salad. celery bits too large. I've mentioned it but no change. but they cant patronize another cafe which is where I get my weekly egg and lettuce fix. hi wrenn good to hear from you too

wrenn

I wish a neighbour could get you your egg salad fix for this week with smaller celery of course. I can see how a weekly ritual is very healing and especially an egg salad sandwich ritual.....love egg salad sandwiches. They are soothing, bring back good memories and are good for you. :-) I just think you might be pushing it but if you are up for it then I hope you can get your fix. Any spinach nearby? Or liver, beans, oysters?

Anyway, thinking of you and hope you are feeling better soon.

I've been following this thread for a while. Abigail, wishing you good health, and a happy holiday Monday.

I wish you would see a doctor, but I respect your choice.

Are you eating? If not, what about Ensures

abigail48

Hi Hsant.  for the first time since in my late fifties I've been gaining weight.  frozen potatoes!!.....I think I have some fresh organic spinach in the freezer comp here, been meaning to investigate.

hello Abigail,

I admire your tenacity. I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling. May I suggest that you contact the visiting nurse's association closest to you? they were very helpful when my mom fell ill. they came to the house and provided all kinds of assistance. AFter a while, my mom declined more and went into hospice, which was wonderful. they can change dressings, provide the supplies, trained nurses know lots of tricks to make things easier. I hope that this kind of help might make things easier for you. Best wishes to you

contacted out nurse in a village 20 minutes away when I wanted a heart test in order to get a ins.  she wouldn't visit here

cp418

Did you contact a visiting nurse association? They should not refuse to see you. There appears to be various home heath cares nurses and you must use a reputable program.

Selecting a Home Health Care Provider

There are many important factors to consider in choosing the best agency to meet your needs, most important of which is to assess what types of services you or your loved one will need.

If you chose a nonprofit home health care or VNA agency, then you receive care regardless of your complexity of condition or ability to pay.

Abigail, in my area, visiting nurses regularly travel an hour or more to visit patients. Please do not let distance discourage you. For the nurses, it is just part of their day.

abigail48

we have one nurse in the nearby town and she doesn't visit. we have one dr I've not yet net. very small place and smaller yet since the 2011 irene flood. every one split. the main nearby town now has less than 500 residents

sbelizabeth

Abigail, if you would be willing to having a visiting nurse come in, there are resources that can help. No matter where you live, you are in the jurisdiction of a public health department. If you can't afford to pay, there's help for that too. If I can help you in any way, please PM me.

abigail48

sweet of you elizabeth, and on my birthday too. I'm now 79 and 5 years plus from the first notice that the many long years cyst was going bad. I contacted those people a half hr village away, was told they'd be a great help, they were not they were. nice but less than helpful, it was a great waist of time. I contacted them in what? 2013

Happy birthday Abigail....and many more. :-)

Jujube43

Happy Birthday Abigail. You are much loved here..

hsant

abigail, now are you? You're in my thoughts.

abigail48

much better everyone. beenthinking of the long ago comment about the diagnosis of spine cancer by my last lover whose fatner was a dental surgeon. I was laughed out of the internet for that one, told if i
d had spine cancer since 1974 I'd be long dead/ well she perhaps would have been but as we often say here everyone is different. lately I can only stand for a few minutes without having to rest. washing the dishes is a big project....can't remember when I spoke about that had to have been some years ago, the bullies here have been silent for some time. I just have to do no debriding, even a bit of blotting brings on more. so I just need to let it grow. frankensence month, can't remember how i used it the month the beast regressed a great deal, this month I'm u sing it very cautiously

abigail48

so what's my point? 42 years is a long time. a young woman, say in her 40ies with a child feels a lump. goes to her dr who says xray. xray says mamogram. mamogram says biopsy. biopsy says surgery. surgery says chemotherapy and radiation. but there's nothing to say howlong or how short the woman's life would be with none of that. there are statistics but statistics say nothing about an individual

Happy Belated Bithday Abigail!
