shortshot80)to: mljskeet, I had a blood transfusion on the 12 of Jan, then the 16th I had chemo and a few days later my face swelled so bad I had slits for eyes and my dentures cut my mouth. I suffered about 6 days and finally went back to my cancer doc to see what could be done. I also saw my kidney doc who put me on 20mg of lasic (water pill). M cancer said to see how that goes. Saw my heart doc who increased the water pill to 40 mg. Then the cancer doc said to wait and see what does. Well I have lost 18 pounds, all water weight I'm sure. I have two kinds of lung cancer and I'm too old for the stuff.. I will be 85 March 19. Anyway saw the cancer doc and she did not have a answer to the swelling. So she said she might put me on a mantance program. By the way I cut my hair, my hair does not define me at all. I wear hats most of the time. People see me and give me a new hat. I have 41 now and I enjoy all the new hats. ...At this time in my program, I do not have any energy Soon probably in march I will have to have the battery changed in my pacemaker. I have all this good fun...Ha! Not afraid, just no energy. Course not..... Nancy shortshot80)
