You have got your results today & all is well, I remembered only today that when I had a Scan when I had the large ovarian growth there were some unusual marks on my liver, I had forgotten this as it is about 5 years ago, they assured me when they checked again there was nothing to worry about.

I do hope your DH is getting some relief with his arthritis now, I am taking a 2 capsules a day of Glucosamine, I have tried it before but those had another ingredient in them & made me a little woosey, I am frightened to say yet as it is early days but I am coping better.

HUGS Doreen

Doreen, thank you for your kind words to both my DH and myself. As for my tests and finding out the results, I still haven't picked up the copies yet because the 'puters were down over the holiday weekend, so I have to call again in about another half hour. If not ready I will have to make the trip to Boston tomorrow to get them. My PC will look at them and also wants me to have another chest catscan to follow this through. Your good news has encouraged me, and I'm trying to think positive about this whole thing. I often think about all of us that never have problems, don't have tests, and who knows what's going on in there.

And about my DH. He takes 2 Glucosamine Chrondroitin every morning before he gets up. This took about 6 months to work, in the beginning he took 3 every morning, and it did say that when a difference is noted to try cutting back to 2 each day and see if he could get by on that. Well, it seems to be working for him. He said when it started working, he said it seemed like they started slipping and sliding instead of creaking and groaning. Sort of like he "oiled" them! So, wishing you good luck also. Give it time, this has helped his knees considerably, although he still has the arthritis issue to deal with and he's not one to go to the doctor too readily. He has had such bad experiences with treatments that he prefers to stay away, our dr. does know his medical history, so they understand each other.

Thank you for you kind message and your support for the issue I have going at hand. You and your DH have a good day, and hope you have enough of that rump steak left for some leftovers. Sometimes I enjoy the leftovers more than I do the first meal! Hugs. Bea
