- I had missed my mammogram for nearly three years because I actually was nursing my mom to her death with lung cancer, and well I put my health on hold. And since there is no one in my family with breast cancer, I just thought it can be on the back...
- Iam a newbie to Hemachromatosis - I have been having blood tests for over a year, and so far I am not having any plebotomies because I so far am staving it off with diet. I carry around a bottle of calcium and ususally take two 2000 mgs before (an...
- I was just diagnosed with HH...and have not had a Phleb yet because my doc said I am not "there" yet...and from reading these boards, I am counting my lucky stars my doc diagnosed me so quickly without a symptom in the world.However, I have just...
- I have no idea where to begin: I had NO symptoms other than weight loss, but I attributed that to nursing my mom to her death from lung cancer last year. I begged off all red meat naturally, and am on a limited diet of foods that ONLY appeal to...

- I have been nursing my mother for ninety days while she was suffering from stage 4 lung cancer. It was a fast diagnosis. And her death was rapid. It took us all by surprise being this fast. Now I am in her home, which is now mine and my...
- Mom took her last breath with me and only me by her side. It was surprisingly sweet and easy in the way that it was a release. Nothing seemed real. The Mortuary man came and took her from her bed, wrapping her in a white sheet. He carried her...
- I am in the throws of the death circle with my mom right now. Last rites were given by our family priest yesterday. Cousins came over to say goodbye, husband flew back to AZ from CA yesterday....and it is ugly and sad and scary and full of...
