I don't think I've been on for a bit. Things have moved along with my health issues. I've gotten a palliative referral, but I haven't heard from them yet. I actually got an appointment with a Doctor who is going to travel to me, to help me with my 1st request of VAD - I find it ironic that I've gotten that appointment before palliative care has even contacted me. The oncologist told me it may be just a short few months, that was a bit of a shock, but in some ways it makes me feel better - I am that sick, the aches are hurting that much, I am close to the end.
