Sorry to hear that, Blacksting. I hope all goes well with you in recovering from this. I bet it was scary. I've been living life to the fullest for sometime now. If somethiong is going to kill me, I'm going to have a smile on my face doing it.

. What really scares me is dancing around with younger women. I know fear!

I do too, my lady is 8 yrs. younger then me and I can't think of better way to go.

Good man !!! ,....and thanks, i heard this thing can last up to a month and everytime i drink something it comes pouring out the side of my mouth like i have a hole in my bottom lip . talking isnt much better , but none of it compares to what you mustve gone through , no doubt . btw, i can think of a few things that would put a smile on my face while i'm on my last breath but the one that pops up first is the vision of doin the dirty deed and just as that 'fine moment in time ' approaches , i scream out , "i'm going".

sasto, I don't know you and you don't know me but you are inspiring me. I have five more weeks of getting "cooked" every day and then it's time to say "look out world, I am coming". Remember, those prayers are an investment in your future and the people that sent them are expecting a return on their investment.

Howdy back at ya, southkogs. Thanks for wishes, they are working. I have always remaind in good spirits. I am blessed it in my nature.

I do too, my lady is 8 yrs. younger then me and I can't think of better way to go.

LOL, Swabbie. Some of the ladies 8 years younger can't keep up with me. I had one 20 years younger, she did a good job of keeping up. I'm not looking for any girlfriend....but they keep finding me somehow.

Your a funny guy, Blacksting. Here's to you! Attitude is everything.

Peace to you ..

Thanks, Dave. While in the nursing home a few years back I listened to Bob Marley everyday. "Three Little Birds' came on as I was stairing out my window from my bed. Three little birds were staring at me at the time. What a beautiful moment!

Very well said, Bluepike, and something I never thought about. My thoughts and prayers are with you. How are you feeling?

Glad to hear you're doing well my friend.

I would love to meet you, Marco. Your signature at the bottom made me realize what a lucky man I really am to have friends like you

Re: sasto needs our prayers

Update for those that have gone through chemo and particularly radiation. Over the past five years or so after I ate a meal, especially in the morning and afternoon..I would become nauseated and light headed. I was speaking to a friend that has gone through the same treatment as I did. I explained I wasn't feeling well just after eating. She questioned me on what I ate. Ham, cheese, and mayo I told her. She asked me if I was nauseated and dizzy. I said YES! She explained to me that most patients that go through what I did can no longer eat dairy products.


Been almost a week with no dairy products. MAN...I feel wonderful! Like a new lease on life. I'm not as cranky and can be myself. When I would feel bad in the past I would lay around and eat cheese, drink milk, and eat other dairy products....and just get worse. I can now put on weight, work harder, exercise daily, and continue on my evil ways.


I thank my friend Lisa for the insight that no Dr. has came up with.


I hope this helps others with the same symptoms I had, weather going through cancer treatments or not.

Re: sasto needs our prayers

AWESOME SASTO!!!!! Knowledge is power. Amazing what changing the ol' diet can do. Thankfully, it's easier than ever to find non-diary products too. Best of all, it didn't take any yucky chemicals or proton beams either. Less is more, indeed.

Tight lines........

 

[southkogs]

Re: sasto needs our prayers

That's great Cap'n!! Like kfa4303 said, there are some good alternatives out there that you might be able to look at if you want the taste but not the trouble. Coconut milk ice cream is really good, almond cheese actually tastes great as a couple of examples.

Best wishes.

Yes it is AWSOME, kfa. I've been researching non-dairy products and have found many subsitutes to try. I have a love for mashed taters. Had them with soy milk. Good stuff. Now to find a good cheese, I'll be in heaven!

Tight lines to you, my friend!

Coconut milk ice cream? Dang that sounds good! I may just have to make some myself. Coconuts are everywhere around here, and I like the milk. I will try the almond cheese as you suggested. I am getting really excited about this. The problems I have had with the dairy products really made my life more difficult. More difficult than I ever thought.


Best wishes to you as well, southkogs, and thanks for your concerns and imput.

I have good friends and good memories from Michigan during my many visits as a Captain. St Clair is one of them, especially a prop shop I needed by running agound there once. :facepalm: I have been praying to my God more than ever, not for myself, but for others. Your prayers for me are being answered.....Thanks Buddy!

Sasto that is Good to hear!!! I Hope that everything continues to get BETTER for you...

Thanks, my FlaCowboy. I am only starting to feel the results of my new diet, and it is wonderful. I thought it was just something I had to live with the rest of my life. I accepted it as a fact and moved on. Now I'm not afraid to eat like I used to. There are other things that have changed too, but I won't mention them here.

I appreciate everyones concerns and imput. I am sleeping better, not as irritated (or should I say irritating). One less thing to worry about. I will be off to the Fla Keys soon for a working vacation, a brew will take place of my morning chocolate milk.

Man I was reading from page 1 and I didn't want to go to page 8 and find out bad news. I click on page 8 and there is Sasto still kickin. That made my day.

Hang in there dude.

Axing cheese would be tough. I have a friend who can't tolerate Cow's milk chheses, but sheep and goat milk cheeses are OK. Maybe experiment a bit with them..,.
Otherwise, there are a ton of recipes and alternatives on the interweb.
Some good tips and recipes here:

Re: sasto needs our prayers

Just finished going in for salvage radiation five days a week for two months. I feel like I have been sunburned from the inside out. They told me that sometimes it takes a while for the side effects to catch up to the treatments, they were right. I figure a couple more bad weeks and then it's back to getting better. But, I will not give up my milk and cookies!

Keep going and show me how it's done.

Re: sasto needs our prayers

Sometimes i think to myself i'm old and wise enough to know what to do and say in almost any situation. but its' times like now that i'm humbled . Now i have 2 friends fighting the same disease and all i can come up with is , Keep punching Sasto, just keep punching .

Thanks waterinthefuel. Made my day too. Would have been nice for me to skip to page 8 also. I will hang in there, I'm doing just fine!

Thanks for the link, Frank. It gave me some motivation in seeking substitutes for my diet. Yes axing cheese will be hard but very necessary. I will do whatever it takes.

Not everybody has the same symptoms from radiation, Bluepike. I hope you don't need to give up your milk. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery as well. I am not familuar with salvage radiation, but will look it up. I know your feeling of being burnt from the inside in. It will heal soon. Good luck!

I know the feeling, Blacksting. I went through having family going through treatments before I did and I didn't know what to do either. I have helped others going through treatments as I have and sometimes don't know what to say either. Sometimes it is just better to listen.

Thanks, I will keep on punching.

I'm getting the feeling that soon I will have no after effects from treatments.

Looks like a new job for me. A 97' Broward in the Marina needs a mate. I don't think I am up to being a Captain at this point. My short term memory isn't very good, but getting better.
