Alright here I am again. There was a reason I was sleeping so much. I kept telling the doctors that there was something was terribly wrong, but they weren't listening to me. My Oncoligist   just sent me to other doctors. Saw neurosurgeon, who wanted to do surgery because my C5/6 and C6/7  had degenerative disease. That's normal for someone my age. He did add in there that I also have cancer. Dah. Then on to a pain management doctor. He was a real trip. I let him know that pain killers didn't work. He asked me flat out what my doctors prognosis was since I do have cancer and I'm not on treatment. I wanted to punch him in the face..yes I'm well aware of the fact I have cancer. Yes I'm well aware of the fact that I'm past the  expiration date. My God they use to say your to young to have cancer. Now they ask me why I'm still here.  Well the symptoms got worse. I was urinating all the time. I couldn't sit or lay down for any time period or I would get up and not be able to balance. I was forever thirsty. My vision became itchy. I would have small tremors. The pain was-excruciating  in my back,neck,and down my arm. After two and a half weeks a blood test showed my calcium level was extremely elevated. They gave me a bone builder shot in my stomach a bio phosphate. Also prednisone to reduce swelling in the spine. Amazingly the symptoms stopped. What the hell without the blood test next stop would have been a coma.  Doctors need to listen to the flashing lights. I am really thinking I'm a number that has looked over.  I have an appointment with my long time Oncoligist in LA in December.

On top of all that Alex is in Dublin. Jenni, Jeff and the grand kids are in Russia. Mike's brother, his wife and son are in Brussels.  Right now I'm keeping an eye on Europe being safer.. My heart goes out to everyone effected by what happened in Paris we are so vulnerable.
