Ha!<br /><br />The medical center offers it, insurance covers it, and the NIH lists his gut side effects as possibly being helped by it, so why not stick pins in it?<br /><br />Hang in there, and SO impressed by the exercise in spite of all the stuff. <br /><br />Another BBethBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708604300706961410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986812882047614235.post-17723477539875240022018-10-24T08:33:30.250-04:002018-10-24T08:33:30.250-04:00Thanks, Carol.

I figure if you and I (and ever so many others) have to go through this crappy crap - then we may as well use it for the good we can. And yes!!! Feeling alone in your weirdness can be such a burden. If I can shed a little light or hope <br /> - that is a win for me as well as for those who might then feel just a bit better. Thanks for shining YOUR light for me!!!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988740020076170293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986812882047614235.post-92170124899642028502018-10-24T07:33:49.196-04:002018-10-24T07:33:49.196-04:00When I did Melanoma Prayer Center for a while, I c...When I did Melanoma Prayer Center for a while, I came to realize that when I see a few saying pretty much the same thing, no matter what the particular "thing" is, that that's just the tip of the iceberg and hundreds more are going through the same thing. But they aren't verbalizing it and think they're the only ones going through it so they feel isolated and alone in that battle. It's good that you put it out there and tell it like it is. People need that!You're helping more people than you'll ever know because most aren't going to come out of the closet and tell you "thank you"...they don't want other people to see their own struggles. Keep telling it like it is, even when it's not pretty. And it's not pretty. Our side effects we live with aren't beautiful paintings BUT they and God and B and Mitch and others like them are not only keeping us alive but they're making it so we can, each, live to the very most optimal best we can at any given time. And as you know, we often have to take it minute by minute as day by day is, sometimes, to much to hope for. And yet we do...hope. Your blog is a ministry. You're not just telling about what you're dealing with...no...you're also showing people...with pictures no less...what is possible when living with the impossible. I stand and salute you Les. <3Carol Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930711637707595995noreply@blogger.com
