Thanks, Kay. I am working on getting more rest. While I am retired now, I keep busy with a lot of volunteer activities. I probably need to cut back.
Hopeful. I was diagnosed with Islet Cell Cancer, a neuroendricine adenoma<br />
carcinoma back in July of 2009. At that time the Oncologist answered my<br />
question as to how long my life might be; he said 5 years. Well, with<br />
fruits and vegetables, etc. diet wise it came to November 2015 Octreotide<br />
Scan. It showed mestasation to the liver along with uptake in two spots<br />
there. Also, uptake was shown in the gallbladder, GI and GU tracts.<br />
<br />
Now, these last two months things have likely taken hold with 30 pounds<br />
weight loss without trying and the depletion of all protein.<br />
<br />
That's how I can see it. Get a lot of rest to preserve energy.<br />
