Thanks all for prayers. I am a great believer in the power of prayer as is my daughter.

glad - I don't understand the doctor either. It doesn't jive with what I have read, though apparently the risk goes up with age.

ga -she hasn't met with her oncologist yet - that is scheduled for next week in Edmonton. We don't have oncologists here.

She has been experiencing more than usual fatigue which I understand can be the case before diagnosis of breast cancer. After she got the results she told me that about it and that that was why she suspected the results would be positive for ca.

This is hard for me but so much harder for her.

Golden, I'm so sorry to learn of this diagnosis.    Did the oncologist provide a staging level?   

I hope that the plan of care is successful, that your daughter's cancer isn't so severe that it disrupts her life, that she remains as stable as can be, and that she'll eventually receive a clean bill of health diagnosis!

Thoughts and prayers Golden, for your daughter and you. And continuing on the long road to health. Everytime I pray for Gladimhere, who has recovered,
I won't forget your daughter.

There are never too many prayer requests, and I am still praying for NHWM's request for prayers for her family's health, even though she has not returned.
And more recently, Earlybird's health and her Mom's from Covid. And so many others in between, not mentioned at this time.

Ahh, Golden I am so sorry. There are many women that receive that diagnosis even in their 20's. I don't understand the doctor comment about being too young.

My daughter got the news the other day that she has breast cancer. Dr. said she was very young for that - 56. It's been a difficult month since December when she first started the process of diagnosis, dgs had surgery and ex died. This Wednesday she has a consult in Edmonton where surgery will be. The Cross Cancer Institute there has a great reputation. Prayers are appreciated.

EB, prayers for you and your family.

As for covid. It's running rampant here in Vancouver. Not as bad as some Provinces but it's bad. Willie, I'm guilty of having a loose mask but if I wear it too tight I feel breathless and since I'm prone to having panic attacks I just can't wear it that tight. But I'm careful to not stand too near anyone.

Bonnie Henry, our health minister here in Vancouver has not enforced any newer, stricter health orders. At the press conference she did yesterday she said that she was trusting restaurants, etc. to do the right thing. I think she is worried that if she calls for curfews and shuts down service industries again that there will be rioting in the streets. One of the reporters responded to this by saying, "Just let me pick my jaw up off the floor and then went on to say to her, If you aren't responsible for issuing orders then what are you responsible for?" I thought to myself, she just can't win. If she had called for a curfew that same reporter would have been giving it to for that as well. I don't envy her, her job.

Do not stand in line, for any reason whatsoever during an alleged surge in Covid-19 cases. Wait two weeks, or more.

This is just my opinion, just as it is everyone's own opinions being expressed on AgingCare.

I am not even going to explain why I think this way. Everyone can do their own research. Think for themselves.

Okay, Barb I have to share our experience with me being hard of hearing. Your words just brought it back.

I was always asking my husband to repeat himself, so he scheduled hearing tests for both of us.

So, we go and low and behold, he needs hearing aids.

On the way home, I ask him if he is okay, because I think it is a challenge when we are faced with loss of any ability. He responds, I don't have a problem needing hearing aids, I'm upset because I just knew I would be telling you, "See, I told you so. You can't hear."

We still laugh about him not getting to tell me he told me so.

Update: DH has almost perfect hearing. I have a mild upper register loss in both ears. I guess I do mumble.

I've got to say that I'm not terribly worried about the mailing of medical specimens, with covid at least it's aerosol transmission that is the main driver and I'm much more concerned with sharing air with people who don't mask or who mask incorrectly (I'm talking about you with your nose hanging out and you who has to keep pulling up your too loose mask) in an enclosed space, especially for prolonged periods.

Thinking about postal regulations. IN THE MAIL-a new way to spread Covid, imo.
It is against the law to send certain biohazards in the U.S. mail for a reason.

But here we all are, so eager to be sending back a PCR test in the mail for results. Or sending a specimen to be tested for occult blood. Handled by non-medical lay persons, aka the general public.

Watching the news is more than disturbing. Has anyone noticed the changes in testing techniques using the swab up your nose? Now self-administered by the public, who would not know a pharynx from their nasal passages to save their lives. You can now watch this on your T.V.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

Two weeks ago the neighbouring public health unit reported outbreaks in 5 facilities, 2 covid and the others listed as unknown. Yesterday's report lists 22, 2 of them in regional hospitals - all covid but one.

EB, here's to speedy and full recoveries for everyone in your family. Today we got another letter from my MIL's facility of yet another breakthrough case in a resdient brought in by sick staff. The first rapid test was positive, the follow-up PCR test was negative, and so they did another PCR test and are awaiting the results. It will be extremely interesting to me if the 2nd PCR test doesn't match the results of the first one... or the rapid test.

Hello everyone,
Requesting prayers for my dear mom who contracted Covid. We just got the results today. I also have Covid and niece and brother still waiting for test results. Mom feels quite ill but stable.

Even the wisest and most educated can be influenced by personal bias and superstition, (look at Dr Oz - he may be a good/great cardiologist but he has undoubtedly backed a lot of quackery). The fact that Roger Seheult believes in his regimen doesn't mean it is effective, but it doesn't mean that it isn't either, and if something is cheap and easy and causes no harm them I wouldn't fault anyone who follows his advice. For me the important question is - is he making any money off any of these supplements?
