Gosh a mask that tight sounds horrible. It must be different for each cancer? Mine is not tight at all. I have to hold my chin up in it when they are ready. No wonder so many say they are so bad. I am sorry you two had to go through that. Okay gary you can put one on him now. I will not tell.

I get 33 treatments of 180 greys per. Man the side affects are the pits. My neck itches so bad today and that Biafine seems to be doing nothing right now. Do they have some anti-itch stuff or do you have to feel like you have skitters living in your house with you?

Karen...congratulations on the 4 years. I hope you enjoy many, many more.
Gary...You are so funny! I love it. I am making paper mache and turning my mask into a MartiGras mask with feathers, sequins and the works and hanging it on my wall. You need to put that picture in your profile. I will when I get mine done. hahahaahahha

Laughter is the best medicine,
God bless and keep you,
Barbara~

Paper mache on the mask-what a great idea-I wonder if John will let me do that! Gary and Barb, please clarify something for me [I've been wanting to ask for a while but didn't have the guts being the shy, retiring Southern gal I am] WHAT does LOL stand for ? Could be "lots of luck",or "lack of luck" or "Lord Oh Lord",or "last on line",etc. Do you think I may have had one too many glasses of wine tonite? Amy

LOL is internetese for "laughing out loud". There are many others like ROTFLMAO "rolling on the floor laughing my ass off" or shortened to ROTFL "rolling on the floor laughing" and SWMBO "she who must be obeyed" aka "the wife".

Larry likes to use CU "see you". There are sites that have lists of all the acronyms.

Gary,thanks for the enlightenment laugh It is truly amazing what one can learn here. John has started calling me his "2Cal" girl[because I wake him up every 4 hours or so to do the tube feed] But I am gonna tell him my new name is SWMBO. Amy

Other common ones - IMO "in my opinion" IMHO "in my honest opinion". See http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/?lookup=R for a complete list


Some that are unique to here:

RO "radiation oncologist"

IMRT "intermodulated radiotherapy

XRT Standard radiotherapy

XRT. So thats what it is. Remember when I thought I was having IMRT? I finally remembered to ask and I am having the standard so now at least I "know" what I am having even though I might now know my butt from a hole in the ground today.Now I can put that in my profile and be correct.
Feeling a bit yucky but the end is now exactly 3 weeks away. yeeeeeehawwwwww
Bless you,
Barbara~

Thank you babe! I will be glad to get it over with even though I know I won't be feeling fab anytime soon I can sleep late. I arranged my apts. early because the ACC was providing my transportation and now I only have one person from there and everyone else wishes it were later including me.

Gods love to you,
Barbara~
