Thank you for the reply..I'm 74 and trying to teach myself how to use this iPad I received as a gift. I think I should find an eight year old to help me out! Lol!! The children today are so smart with all this new technology!!

Thank you again! Lynn.

Hi, erig3, I'm not to good with all this technology! I received an iPad for a gift I'm 74 and trying my best to teach myself. Actually, I'm trying to reach out to Dr. Who, he calls himself, his name is Walt. He was one of the first to respond to me on this site. I have not heard from him and I'm concerned and worried. Wondering how I would go about finding him. Maybe he quit the site???

Sincerely,

Jackie

I'm praying that Dr. Who is o.k., it's not like him not to keep in touch.He had such a wnderful way with words. always gave much hope and positive comments. He was the first one to answer my post when I first joined. I felt so lost and scared. I don't know what I would have done with out him. Still missing missing nameless9999 Jim, was the second one that came to my rescue. also gave such support and I loved his wit!!! Well, I hope and pray we hear from Dr. Who that he's o.k.

Yes.....People like us have to stick together!!!

Thank you for your response.

Sincerely, Lynn/ caregiver for husband Sam.

Hi, RonL ....My name is Lynn, my husband Sam is waiting to be approved for a clincial trial. Don't know why I used ronnie1943, that's my sons name.??

So happy to hear that Dr. Who is well and still with us on our site!!! I didn't see his post??

I don't know how to reach out to Walt, I deleted all my messages accidently and that is the only way I knew how to respond?? I'm 74 and received an I-pad as a gift and I'm trying to teach myself.

Just relieved that Dr.Who is o.k.!!! 😊

POST FROM DR. WHO, DATED THURSDAY 02/22/2018 (the latest I can find):

So sorry. Remember this, none of us have an expiration date. There are a lot, let me repeat, a lot of people still here long after the doctors told them otherwise. What you need is a new medical team- NOW!

Have you considered going to the Mayo Clinic or to MD Anderson? Also, Dr. Hussain, a world prostate expert that used to be at the University of Michigan is now at Northwestern. I am sure that others here have recommendations. Please consider them!

Please get a second or third option. Hopefully there are people here smarter than me who can give you advice.

While I can not give you medical advice (I am a retired grumpy chemist), you have my full support. Everyone here will be pulling and praying for you. Please let us know how you are doing and what your new medical team thinks. We want to know how you are doing!! You are part of our family and we take care of our own. After all, people like us we have to stick together!

Good Luck and Good Health.

Dr. Who's Post from this morning...

Dear fellow warriors,

As a result of some very bad interactions with the hospital recently I have not posted for a while. First, please know that overall I am doing great and that the cancer is on the run.

However, while dealing with another medical issue (nothing to do with cancer, and really not that major of thing) I had the most negative series of interactions with the hospital and the medical staff. It hurt me a lot worce than that 10pm call saying I had advanced cancer. To say that my head was (is) not on straight is an understatement.

I am taking actions to help re-educate some health care professionals and change how the hospital deals with certain issues. The good news are that they are making changes. I am also going to counseling. While I am slowly getting back to where I need to be, I am not there yet. Until I get there I will have to take a vacation from this sight. Also, please know I really do not want to discussion what the issue is anymore than I alwadt have.

Please know that this vacation is not the result of anyone here. In fact this sight give me strength. I am in awe of the warriors here! But until I get things straightened out I will have to take some time off. Hopefully soon I will be back full time.

Dr WHO (Walt)

Hi Roni,.....Thank you for sending me the post that dr. Who sent this morning. I don't understand why I didn't see it? or how I missed it?? I would have loved to have responded. Just a couple of words to let Walt know that I am thinking of him. 😟

Take care. Sincerely, Lynn Pa.
