A month later

I suppose that this time passing and everyday being a microthin film that layers over events and tragedies and joys is normal. Either that or its some kind of ruse that we all subscribe to. I can't understand time. I get these impulses to call my mom or share something with her to cheer her up. Just because its July now and not May or last October means that she's gone and that tomorrow is another day further from her last. Thanks to all for the comments about my mom and her life. I think about her everyday and most miss her infectious laughter, so ready to burst out uncontrollably with racuous tears, red face and aching sides.

Last post.

This will be the last post for this blog.

Cindy,my wife for thirty seven years passed on this morning after fighting glioblastoma multiforme stage IV.She went while in a coma.
If you do not have insurance you are very limited as to how you can prolong your life with GBM.
Cindy had insurance,and it covered hundreds of thousands of dollars for fourteen months of uncertainty.The only other option is letting it run it's course while you get your life in order.
Texas did have promise as I wrote earlier.Some things still need to be done there,like refunds
for equipment I sent back.
Live your life one day at a time,do not stress too much that you will die if you have GBM.Grim,yes,hopeless in the long run,yes.However,you have family and friends that love you,they will be with you to the end,love them back.Good luck.It is a very lonely path,driving to cancer centers grasping at straws,searching for hope from anywhere.

No mas.

Treatments for terminal cancer leave something to be desired.So no mas.Sticking with natural treatments,compassionate aid on the horizon,no need to wonder why.You can only deal with so much,then you just say,no mas.Scary,yes,unsure,no,better to have dignity when passing over,then not being able to think,or move.Thats where we are.

Houston trip.

We went to Houston for treatment three weeks ago,and stayed for two weeks.The Burzynski clinic seems to be the only clinic with real hope for glioblastoma multiforme.The treatments however, were just too much to deal with.Unsatisfiable thirst from the salt content,and always having to use the restroom at all hours.Because of the need to go from the treatment,there wasn't much sleep.
I feel that the treatments would work if one can get pass the need to pee all the time.
Now it looks like paw paw will get a chance.
Gas in Houston at one location was $1.64 for regular,food was less,and there is construction going on everywhere,what economic problem?
Summer weather in Oregon is still four months off.It felt good to visit Oregon summer weather in March.
If you have gliobastoma multiforme,the Burzynski clinic has an answer.
