since there's multiple variants of it, most can be very deadly. Depending from which variant dictates the treatment...Whereas Hodgkin's Lymphoma is non variant and has only 1 treatment.

Funny, when Deb started to heal after her long hospital stay (The cancer was not the reason for the long hospital stay, she developed septis after the port for her chemo treatment became infected and spread the septis throughout her body, not to mention the blood clot that formed in her leg. Having septis while having lymphoma is usually a death sentence-So her treatments were put on hold til he beat the septis. So after 12 pints ( "O-" too!!!) of blood via transfusion and a great medical staff she is still herewith me), her hair grew back darker than it was before (A dark brunette) prompting her oncologist to say "Oh my God, Your hair is darker in color than it was before". Deb & myself laughed, because we knew her hair color changed to the "dark brunette" from the "reddish" color because she quit dyeing it after she became ill.

let's put it this way, the IHS (Indian Health Service) in this area (The major hospital is IHS in Lawton) is as incompetent as a "certain hospital in my hometown" with medical care. I do get 100% coverage for medical services that are provided by IHS in this area, but the catch is the IHS doctors have to decide if you are in primary need of major medical treatment (Took over a year for me to have the first MRI performed!!!)

When I had my first MRI in April this year, the results showed that the arachnoid cyst is located in my right temporal lobe of my brain. I picked up the result papers to take to my 'assigned' Doctor at IHS (In Lawton), who looked over the results and said "The tumor isnt cancerous, So nothing to worry about." "Nothing to worry about"??? Deb took the results to "Doogie" (Who is now both Deb & myselfs MD) who told her "Are they kidding? Brian should be worried, this thing can do more damage than a cancerous tumor can". So we recently got in contact with my Tribe, the Cherokee Nation, to go through their QUALITY medical facility to have the work I needed done instead of using the 'medical stupidity' provided in this area. yeah, I may have to drie 280+ miles (One way) for treatment, but at least I wont have to worry about more incompetence.


No shock that once again the IHS Lawton was wrong, Hell, they're BS medical staff in July 2001 nearly cost me the use of my right hand. I fractured the 4th & 5th metacarpal bones in my hand on July 4th...But the numbnut ER doctor told me to "go home and put ice on it, it will be fine", this coming after the X-rays clearly showed my hand was very much FUBAR'd. Of course IHS Lawton didnt correct the mistake until 6 days later when I had to meet with the ER director who informed me the ER Dr. misread the X-Ray film. I had to drive from Lawton to OKC (About a 120 mile drive) to see a orthopedic specialist to try to save my hand without the use of major surgery (Dr.Cruse said my hand was 40/60 for surgery...40 percent good/60 percent bad, but being a great doctor he saved my hand without use of surgery. I still have nerve damage in the pinky area due to IHS Lawton.)

Just dont get me started on IHS and when I broke my right tibila in Feb,2003...Ya dont wanna know what kinda PAIN they put me through with that 'chapter of imcompetence'.

Brian ""Dont ever use IHS in Lawton, their doctors are the kind that cannot get a real job in a real hospital"-Dr.Cruse August 2001" j.

it was from the factory outlet, so it wasn't terribly expensive. it was under $100.

my mom has it kind of rough sometimes, so i don't mind getting her something a little extra nice.

Cuz they look cool. And actually, Mark's a huge weather geek - he has 2 or 3 thermometers around the yard, he's obsessed with The Weather Channel, etc. So he'll be pretty damned excited that he'll soon know the precise direction of the wind.

aww..that was sweet . I just saw this. I have 3 coach purses, and one came from the outlet mall in gatlinburg TN. If we had one close to me, I would have to get another job (probably there for the discount ) to pay for it all...

Are you in some sort of competition with Curtis to see who's gayer?

So, yeah, I had to double check also because I was like "why would someone so cheap buy something barely useful to go on top of a house so as to know which way the wind blows?" You know the old saying, "don'tneedaweathervanetoknowwhichwaythewindblows!"

Budump-cha!!

you know you love me.
