    • Close Mesothelioma

      My dad was diagnosed in Nov. 06 after months of him being so sick, and us not knowing what was wrong. The diagnosis was a terrible thing to find out, but my brother Don is a ER Doc, and lucky for us he got to break the news. Its was easier to hear it from him. They gave him 6 months, and its now been 11! Hes not going anywhere soon! He did a little chemo, but it was too hard on him, and to only hear there was a 30% chance of it doing any good. So he is just on a morphine pack and loving life!!

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Morphine pack is working wonders! he gets little pains here or there..but overall hes doing AWESOME! he is able to live pain free and happy!
    • Close Parkinson's Disease

      My dearest mother was diagnosed years ago with Parkinsons disease..but let me tell you..this doesnt slow her down a bit! She is the rock of the family!...sometimes her feet wont let her go where she wants to go, but she will get there soon enough. She has such a positive attitude..and a sense of humor that never quits. She is so fun to be around and she is my Angel!

      Treatments

      Mirapex Working / Worked
      yeah, its working for her...sometimes she has a hard time with her shuffling, and I worry she will fall..but she doesnt! Depending on the time of day she takes it, it can make her really sleepy! but overall its been working well.
      Sinemet Working / Worked
      same thing as Mirapex...she has to sometimes play with the dosage, but it seems to work...she has her good days, then her not so good days..
