Glad you are doing well.

It’s a long road, but it beats the alternative.

Gods speed to you.

It has gotten a bit crazy in these parts too. I wish I’d bought toilet paper stock. Guess we just have to roll with it. :)

I tried intermittent fasting. Didn’t do a thing for me. I even did the long one. What is it 18 hrs? I think it was too close to how I already ate. So now I’m one meal a day. So far it’s working. If I plateau I’m going to try carb loading to mix up my metabolism. Something has got to work!

My sister starts chemo next week. She is cancer free after surgery but the tumor genom is aggressive with a 26% chance of reoccurrence in 5-8 years. Chemo knocks that percentage to 11%. I expressed my concerns about starting chemo with her Oncologist, but he is insistent that it can’t be delayed. She is 64 in good health but chemo will whack her immune system.

It seems that you’re doing pretty well and that is great news for you. My mother is getting 35 radiation treatments for salivary gland cancer. I think she’s on day 20..not sure. But her hospital called yesterday and said her treatments are *off* if she gets the virus, has traveled (not that she would w/cancer), is around someone who has it or if that person was around someone else who had the virus. She will be questioned every day and then they will give her a mask when she enters the hospital.

I am down here with her because she has had gastritis all week and not eating well. Then the virus news blew up even more and my work has put people on voluntary remote work. So here I am. She really can’t go out in crowds under these new rules for radiation. I just pray that I don’t get sick as I’ll be the one getting food. Did some shopping yesterday.

I am concerned but not panicked.....however, I would be especially careful in your situation because people can get the virus and look and feel pretty well....

I'm in a high category too and I've been washing my hands alot...

Amen!! And prayers continuing for relatively smooth sailing ;)

With today’s developments, we are loving the cooperation President Trump has nurtured in his team, and hope like HECK, the Democrats negativity gets washed away by a flood of efforts to flatten the dang curve!!

Thank you Bender2 for the update, and thank You Lord, for HOPE.

Just got back from the local Walmart. People have gone mad. The shelves are empty. Everything from toilet paper to food. My gosh ... sheeple are stupid. No wonder we have the government we have today ... these idiots vote.

Danny, dear one, know that our God is not a God of fear but one of peace, open your scriptures to Isaiah 41:10 & 41:13 to begin, then turn to Jeremiah 29:11 to tell you just how special you are to Him. Know that I and many others have you in our prayers.

I have another dear friend going through the same treatment as you for stage 4 lung cancer but knows though this time of additional stress, none of this passes without God’s knowledge.

This hasn’t caught Him by surprise, the faithful know that we look not to government for help but to our Creator and not a sparrow falls without His knowledge.

God bless.

Praying for you, President Trump and El Rushbo daily, Brother! Hang tough and never say never!

PS: I have decided that “Pelosivirus” is far more appropriate and fitting, since this is why the Media, Hollweird and the Good Old DemocRAT National Committee is going totally nuts over. This is their Last Great Hope to put an end to President Trump and that’s a FACT.

Semper Fi!

“the pain from the arthritis in my shoulders holding my arms over my head for 15 to 20 minutes during radiation”

You will find that your shoulders will become more loose and by the time the rads are complete you will not have anymore pain in your shoulders.. Been there, done that! ;-)

The human body is a fantastic machine.

Oddly, news today said that hand sanitizer will not be available for awhile.

Putting my faith in God and trusting the President to do what is best, we will weather this storm.

Amen! And extra prayers lifted for your health.
