Maybe I will ask the very helpful lady at the insurance company if vibrators and condoms are covered as I can likely get a doctor note.

The two times I was going to ask the Doc on the "going down issue" First time she shows up with a male intern and the second time I have a tube in the arm and we are in a room with 5 other chemo people.

Do you think you can get some Barry White albums prescribed so they can be covered by your medical insurance?

I'm new to the lounge (from B&M mostly, but don't hold it against me) and just read the whole thread. Thanks for sharing your story and helping me understand something I have little experience with. Best of luck, we're all routing for you to come out on the other side in great shape.

For my GF, trashy 80s dance tunes work better.. I will check with Insurance.



Thanks BoDid and everyone else for the support.

Oh Mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind ...

You don't have any body parts named Mickey, do you?

More ODD cancer stuff

I have to buy a electric razor.

My platelets are low so I bleed and bruise easy. When mixed with the "chemo kills your immune system"....not a good combo.

So. No more blades. Bought a cheapo elec razor and trimmer. I guess this is a good time to go metro-sexual. Just need LandonFan to give me trimming advice.

And when I say bleed easy. I mean it. I have been getting these little red itchy spots on my ankles. I thought maybe the cats found some early fleas, but it is your socks pulling on your hair and you bleed at the root.

Frankie say RELAX

Don't do it.

I had my mother die of Brain cancer - and died within 6 weeks.

I wish you well.

Our family dealt with it as well as it can possibly be done.

In the event that things do not work out well. Be honest with everyone you love - if things don't work as planned - it will be a great help to them.

Which is not to get you down - be positive and everything necessary to prepare yourself for the fight.


Good Luck and don't look past enjoying life even through your struggles.

My aunt had a mystery illness that led them to find Lung cancer very ealry. They then found a brain tumour 15 years later. The old selfish cheap bitch was told 3 months..... 9 years later she was still abusing poor home care workers. Hope I got her lasting power but not her bitch power(which was supreme)


Thanks for the support. Balancing reality with the trip is not always easy.
Glad your family was able to support your mom and each other so well. I have been very lucky so far.

todays health report

So the doctor gave you the go ahead?

LOL No, the doc is away til next week. So we bought the 24 - variety pack of condoms(one was "ribbed just for her". Hopefully that will keep the gf happy til Tuesday.

Who are you going to give them to?

Ba DUM pum!

man merek, I was married twice, with neither over 10 years. If you and your woman are together after 16 years, then wearing a condom is nothing to fret over.
