re: "#18 (remmers): Re #7: Email would work."
Is there a Grex "Health" conference, or something like that for the
discussion of such issues?

Indeed there is Health conference, although it's pretty dead.

Thank you, Mr. scott. Item # 85 in "Health" is for the discussion of
lymphoma.

It is a specialized discussion item pertaining to "health." Please
just keep it there. Thank you.

Re 29: Er, is that a "yes" or a "no"? I can link it, but I can't control
its existence in Agora, since I'm not a FW in Agora.

re resp:30: Scott, why does klg's preference matter? I created this
item, at Sindi's request. I'd appreciate having this item linked to
health because I think Sindi would appreciate it.
No offense meant to klg! But I wouldn't think any user could come
along and veto a request to have an item linked.

Was that a veto or merely a response to a question?
Why not have a single conference instead of sorting them by subject
matter?

U of M, PPOM, all kinds of fun insurance words. Sindi, make sure you read
all your bills--insurance billing often works like a charm. The more bills
go out, though, the greater the chance that something will go horribly wrong.
Keep your eyes open.

Re #10: usually the liver eventually takes over the function of the spleen
after the spleen's removal, so antibiotics and stricter avoidance of
infection are only needed temporarily.
Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphocytes, which can be confined to a single
lymph node or can spread throughout the body to almost any organ. One of
the functions of the spleen is to produce lymphocytes, so it is not
surprising that it could be a site for lymphomas.

Here is a summary. Add to that CT scan at 8 (can't eat first), bronchosopy
tomorrow (cant eat after midnight) something like prednisone and transfusion.
Heart scan, catheter maybe tomorrow. The steroid is supposed to keep me
awake.
Hi. They sent me home Wed. from the spleen biopsy with a temp of 101 after
a Tylenol (it was 102 ). After two days of severe pain at the biopsy site
I called to ask about a pain killer and my fever. They said to go to the
emergency room. I called my friend who is a doctor. He prescribed
Tylenol with codeine and the next day put me in the hospital. You cannot
sleep more than 1/2 hour in the hospital. The first night (11:30 to
12:30) they drained 2 liters of fluid from one lung (just as much left).
They had taken chest x-ray s but took another at 1:30, after which someone
kept coming in to take vitals on me and my roommate, 1/2 hour apart. I
have a high pulse rate and still am not breathing deeply. Lots of blood
samples, IV with saline and antibiotic. This morning I got to sleep a
bit. They just did a bone marrow biopsy and next is a CT scan of the
chest and a transfusion and prednisone and supper (can't eat for a while).
Jim has been bringing me useful objects such as a kitchen chair and now a
computer for email.
I am writing you all at once as this is a really awkward setup.
Tomorrow a catheter. They will get bone marrow results and maybe start
chemotherapy. I have to eat more but they don't let me eat before CT.
My just-left roommate had severe psoriasis.
This is b-cell lymphoma and ifit has not spread should be treatable.
Nothing feelable in the upper lymph nodes.
It is sort of nice here. Someone chose my vegetarian food for the first
day. Breakfast - zero fiber. Soy milk, juice, rice krispies, melon.
A big insulating cover over the entree - one hard boiled egg.
They brought me a pasty bagel which Jim ate and prune juice and a cheese
omelette.
Lunch (marked vegetarian) was chicken and stuffing and corn and potatoes
and iceberg lettuce.
Supper was vegetarian. One slice of white bread. One iceberg lettuce
thing. The covered entree was thawed green beens. They added beets for
me.
Saturday supper was enormous: green beens with tofu-spaghetti sauce which
Jim ate because it was full of black pepper. They brought me a
replacement with plain spaghetti sauce. A mashed potato. Potato salad
which Jim ate. Pasty roll which nobody ate. Canned peaches. Milk. A
mixture of sugar, cinnamon and a bit of cooked apple which Jim ate.
I got to choose shredded wheat today. They are providing snacks too. Got
to get back 10 pounds.
Tomorrow they put in a catheter and maybe start chemo. Need more test
results bac
