Well the doctor is concerned.. she flat out told me this. They did a blood test and ruled out, Diabetes, (I'm so happy about that!) She ruled out, Liver disease, Kidney disease, infections, (another big relief) she said my white blood cells were great. We are still waiting for the results on the Pancreas and Prostate. She wanted me to get a CT Scan only those people want $1500.00 up front, (it's a 30% discount.) I'm going to get a camera up the butt, (can't spell the word) instead. The doctor recommended one to me. She says the doc will work with you on payment. I mean, I could pay for it, cash.. but I won't if I don't have to.
Anyhow.. she says she is concerned about the cause and I am to because I really thought I was dying last night and really didn't expect to wake up this morning, the pain was so bad.
The doc also told me my blood pressure was high enough that I was in the Stroke range. Tomorrow I begin taking HB pressure pills. I guess I am lucky that I am not dead right this instance. I'm still pretty worried about Cancer, though.. so there you go.
I might also add that I have been going through a progression of this pain for nearly 2 months. Now it is mind numbingly, it hurts so bad.
If you pray, I could use some about now. -Ric

Ditto for bobbot, and anyone else in need.
Keep us posted when you can, fella.
We're struggling with medical bills-- we paid cash for a CT scan this year...I get it. On a side note? The images from a CT scan are very cool to see. Such clarity! High radiation though.
There are certain foods that bond with radiation and take it out of your body faster: here's the ones I recall: apples (the pectin is the active bonding agent), seaweed, dark leafy greens, miso, sesame seeds/tahini...
Good luck to you, keep us posted!
Had you on my list but you just moved to the top.
I am sending my good thoughts and prayers your way.
Thanks for seeing a doctor, for assenting to the backside business & for writing this.
Love to the beautiful other, & to you, good man.
This one's for you my friend
