Linking you to resources and support in the lung cancer community!
Hi all,
I have been on LLL for over a year and unfortunately in April of this year, a ct and pet scan showed new nodules in both lungs after having a 9.6cm tumor removed via a lobectomy of my right lower lobe. I went through chemo and radiation last summer. Now as I go through chemo again(last year I was on a cysplatin cocktail, this year I am on Taxol), my blood suger has climbed sky high and prevented me from taking new ct and pet scans last week. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been on oral medications for the last couple of years including metformin. I am actually pretty good maintaining a low carb high fiber diet but yet the intervenous steroids given during premedication as well as the oral steroids I take the night before and the day of chemo as well as the Taxol are giving me wild sugar counts. I actually gave myself tonight my very first shot of insulin and hope this helps. I was just curious if anyone has had any problems with blood sugar while going through chemo. Dave

HI Dave. I'm sorry to hear about the new nodules. Having Type 2 diabetes on top of receiving cancer treatment can be very challenging. It's quite common that we do have individuals to take insulin for the duration of the cancer treatment. It is especially tricky if your sense of taste changes and what foods appeal to you change and you are finding it hard to stick to your previous lower carb diet. Sometimes the insulin is dosed based on carbohydrate intake to try to keep your carbohydrate intake consistent from day to day as best you can. It is likely the insulin dose may have to be adjusted during the course of chemo. Even though you may be tempted to cut the carbs out, I would recommend keeping a small to moderate intake of carbs throughout the day. Remember that your body is fighting several battles at one time( effects of cancer, chemo and diabetes) and you need the fuel that the carbohydrates provide. If maintaining your weight is an issue, go up on the lean protein some at each meal( i.e add 1-3 oz of protein per meal ).
Dave. Yes I am always happy to help if I can.
You are thinking exactly the right thing- eat every 2-3 hours if you can. Try to keep the carb amounts consistent if you can help it,ie.30 g at each 'minimeal' and 45g at each substantial meal or something similar. It may help make the dosing of the Humalog easier. In my experience, once you are a bit beyond chemo, the blood sugar numbers begin to go back down. Humalog works great though in the meantime.
You can use it to cover the carbohydrates you eat in meal/snack and also use it just to correct random high blood sugars during the day. Should you have to stay on it awhile( hopefully not), there is usually a math type equation they give you for both. For example: 1 unit of Humalog for every 15 grams of carb you are going to eat, or 1 unit of Humalog to bring your blood sugard down 30 points,et.
You may need longactiving insulin at some point( Lantus). You generally take it once a day and it lasts for 24 hours to provide a sort of 'baseline' amount of insulin in your system at all times.
Its quite common to have what is called basal/bolus regimen where you take 1 shot of Lantus at night time and the Humalog, as you are doing, at each meal. Its' quite effective.
Keeping something in your stomach almost all the time does help with the nausea.
Hang in. We are rooting for you!

Good for you. You did a selfless act - in front of your daughter. Awesome. Great example. She's obviously proud. Sooo, tell me again how the Wilmington Police officers are the bad guys here?

Qld rail access decision breakthrough
PUBLISHED: 15 Sep 2010 11:15:41 | UPDATED: 15 Sep 2010 11:15:41PRINT EDITION: 15 Sep 2010
The public float of Queensland's coal and bulk freight network has overcome another hurdle.
In April, the state government announced its intention to apply to the National Competition Council (NCC) to keep regulation of rail access in the hands of the Queensland Competition Authority.
But a month later, transport giant Asciano applied to the NCC for a "declaration" of the network, meaning it would be regulated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The NCC has now released a draft recommendation backing the state's position and rejecting the application of Asciano, Pacific National's parent company.
The move further paves the way for the float of QR National on the stock exchange by the end of the year.
Treasurer Andrew Fraser told the Queensland parliament on Wednesday the state regime would deliver a "fair, open and competitive network for all access seekers and infrastructure providers".
"Competition is a key feature of the network - it's been welcomed and encouraged by this government and it's precisely why Pacific National trains are on the tracks today," Mr Fraser said.
The NCC said in its finding it considered access under the ACCC would "likely to be achieved less efficiently, less timely and less cost effectively than under the Queensland rail access regime".
Mr Fraser said the system would avoid the problems of WA's Pilbara region where there was "interminable court and tribunal hearings as companies jostle to prevent competition".
"This was a significant hurdle, and we have cleared it," he said.

Devils reach 1st East finals since '03 as Martin Brodeur halts Flyers
PHILADELPHIA -- Martin Brodeur missed all the postseason fun a year ago. One of the game's all-time greats, the veteran goaltender considered retirement and the New Jersey Devils were absent from the playoffs for the first time since 1996.
Flash forward a year later. The cheering and hollering from behind closed doors in the Devils locker room could be heard way down the Wells Fargo Center hallway. Days after he turned 40, Brodeur has the Devils back where they've been six other times before in their 30-year history.
The Eastern Conference Finals.
More From ESPN.com
After an offseason spent changing the landscape of their organization, the Flyers remain haunted by the same old problems, writes Scott Burnside. Story
Can the Flyers' goalie woes get worse? Considering that Ilya Bryzgalov has eight years left on his nine-year, $51 million deal, the answer is yes, writes Timo Seppa of Hockey Prospectus. Story
• Burnside: Devils escape shadows
Bryce Salvador, David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk scored goals to lift New Jersey to a 3-1 Game 5 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night, sending the Devils into the conference championship round for the first time since 2003.
The Devils await the winner of the New York-Washington series, which the Rangers lead, 3-2. New Jersey rebounded this season under coach Peter DeBoer in his first season on New Jersey's bench after the franchise suffered one of its worst years since general manager Lou Lamoriello took over in 1987.
Brodeur had 27 saves and the Devils hope they can ride him all the way to June one more time.
"It seems forever for a lot of guys," Brodeur said. "It's tough to do that. We're fortunate to have made it there so far."
The sixth-seeded Devils scored twice in the first period and became the first East team to win four straight games in these playoffs.
"It was just sticking with the game plan and doing what it takes to be successful," DeBoer said. "Marty made some saves when he needed to, and we held on."
Max Talbot scored for the Flyers, but Philadelphia was eliminated in the conference semifinals for the second straight season. The Flyers finished the season without suspended All-Star forward Claude Giroux because of his illegal check to the head on New Jersey center Dainius Zubrus in Game 4.
"It should have been a tighter series," Giroux said, wearing a suit.
The Flyers underwent a facelift last summer that saw them trade team captain Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings and acquire goalie Ilya Bryzgalov from the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Kings and Coyotes will play in the West finals while the Flyers watch from home.
The Flyers again failed in the postseason to hold a quick lead after Talbot scored in the first. Meanwhile, the Devils survived a rugged series of hits unleashed by a frustrated Flyers team that failed to build anything off the surprising first-round victory over Pittsburgh. Anton Volchenkov, Marek Zidlicky and Zubrus all suffered punishing hits that knocked them down to the ice in Game 5.
Bryzgalov had a disheartening end to an erratic first season in Philadelphia. He allowed two YouTube-worthy goals like only he can. Salvador unleashed a shot from outside the circle that skipped along the ice as if he threw a rock across a pond and sailed high over Bryzgalov for the tying goal.
In a season loaded with head-scratching tallies allowed, Bryzgalov saved the weirdest for the finale. Clarkson's dump-in was pushed by Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen toward the goaltender. Instead of controlling it, wrapping it around the boards or even just covering it, Bryzgalov pushed it right back toward a charging Clarkson, whose stick grazed the puck as it slid through the netminder and past the line.
"I honestly had no idea it went in until I heard the crowd yelling," Clarkson said. "Just to be on the forecheck when that went in is an unbelievable feeling."
The Devils could have credited Bryzgalov with an assist on that goal.
"I was just trying to pressure him to make a play," Clarkson said. "I had no idea it was in until the crowd starting booing. It's a goal I'll take any day."
Kovalchuk fired a liner from the high slot after the Devils won the faceoff to make it 3-1 in the third to seal the win. From there, New Jersey's depth took over and stuffed any hope of a home team rally.
"The fact that we have four lines and roll six defensemen really helps," DeBoer said. "It's a team game. We play that way, and guys really believe in what we're doing. But that's a good team we just beat over there, and we have a long way to go."
All the inspirational "Rocky" clips on their highlight reel couldn't inspire the Flyers. Even Giroux's presence may not have even mattered in Game 5. Without their leading scorer, the Flyers tried to knock around the Devils with a series of both clean and questionable hits.
Zac Rinaldo stayed on his skates when he charged full speed with his right shoulder and crushed Volchenkov against the boards. Volchenkov was down on his knees for several minutes before he gingerly walked to the bench.
"That's my bread and butter right there," Rinaldo said. "That's what I feed off of and that's what gets the boys going."
But the hit sparked just a short dose of momentum. Talbot won a fight for the puck in front of the crease to score moments later for a 1-0 lead. But that was it for the Flyers' offense. Brodeur snared a Talbot slapper late in the period for one of his 27 saves.
Rinaldo delivered a stiff knee to Zubrus in the second. Wayne Simmonds creamed Zidlicky in the corner that left the defenseman sprawled on the ice.
The hits meant nothing more than a brief roar from the crowd, though. Late in the third, the Flyers fans made an early exit -- much like their team. The Flyers haven't won the Stanley Cup since snaring consecutive championships in 1974 and 1975.
"It's hard right now," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "I can tell you that the group that is in that room right now is a terrific group of men. They play hard and they have a bright future."
The Devils have won six of seven and believe they have another title run in them. This is the third time in franchise history New Jersey has defeated Philadelphia in the postseason. The previous two times (1995 and 2000), the Devils went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Brodeur has gone from answering questions about retirement to ones about another chase for the Cup. He has been in net for all three of New Jersey's titles, including 2003, the franchise's last one.
With two different coaches behind the bench last season -- Jacques Lemaire came out of retirement to replace John MacLean -- the Devils went 38-39-5, and finished in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with just 81 points. Taking out the lockout-shortened 1995 season, that was the franchise's lowest point total since 1990-91 (79).
Brodeur came on board the next season.
"I don't think he was ever a guy that was going to retire," Clarkson said. "He's won us some games in the playoffs. He's held us in. He's exciting to watch."
Game notes
The Devils are 22-16 in Game 5s. ... Flyers D Andrej Meszaros (back) played for the first time since March 1. ... DeBoer is now 2-0 in playoff series this season after never having won a postseason round before as a coach. ... The Flyers, swept by Boston in Round 2 last season, are now 1-8 in their last nine Eastern Conference semifinals games. ... Even with the loss, Flyers F Jaromir Jagr loved his first season in Philadelphia. "I loved everybody on this team. This was probably the most enjoyable year I ever had."

What Is the Best Convertible Carseat for a 1 Year Old?
I am looking at the Britax carseats and wondered if they are the best? I am confused because some of them run in the $300 and some in the $100. I am looking for a carseat for a 1 year old +. I have seen some at Costco as well and wondered if anyone has any thoughts on those. Thanks for your help!!

Hello there! I just bought the Britax Advocate, it was one of the more expensive ones but I have had multiple friends who have used the Britax over the last few years and swear by them. My daughter is only 6 months old and she absolutely loves sitting in it. She is still rear facing, but was getting frustrated in the infant seat as she kept wanting to sit up more. This seat allows her to sleep comfortably and also to see out the window which she loves. I liked it because we can use it until she no longer needs a seat, it has one of the higher weight limits.
This seat also rated very high in safety, the real beauty of this seat.
I hope this helps.

We have a Britax Blvd click and save in my car since my daughter is with me the majority of the time and we bought a less expensisve model from Costco for my husbands car! HUGE difference. The Britax has way more cushion and safety features! If my husband didn't throw the box and receipt away, I would be taking it back and getting a Britax for his car too! My daughter is 13months and 19 lbs-she loves her convertible car seat!
Regarding the price, I don't feel you can put a price on your childs safety-so you have to purchase what you want! Good luck! Diapers.com has good deals and Babies R Us has coupons 15-20% off carseats!
V.S. answers from Los Angeles on August 11, 2009
Hello M.! I understand your dilemma, I was in the same situation a few months ago. There was all this hoopla surrounding the Britax car seats, but when I did my own research, I found that none of the moms I interviewed were using them. I decided against getting one, seemed too trendy for me and I'm a go-against-the-grain type of person, lol, but seriously, I read a report a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, and Britax was not number one, which surprised me. I don't think it was Consumer Reports, although it might have been. I don't remember, and of course, I don't remember what the top 5 were, but Britax was not on there. The report was based on manufacturer, price, safety, and a few other things that made up the rating. Good luck to you, and remember, just because something is expensive, doesn't mean it's the best! (I should be clear and state that I'm not trying to dissuade you in any way, even if it seems that way! lol).
P.S. - just wanted to add, after reading all of the other comments - that a previous post mentioned getting a second hand one via Craigslist.com. I thought to myself "what an awesome idea!" until I remembered (and this is what I actually wanted to pass along) that I read (I do a lot of reading lol) that you shoud not buy a car seat if it is 3 years old or older. I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember there being a mention of the plastic (if it has that) wearing down (normal wear and tear plus sun damage) issue. You definitely do not want to put your baby in anything that could lead them into harm's way, so by all means, if you go that route, don't be afraid to ask how old the car seat is :) I also wanted to reiterate what another mom said - ALL carseats have to pass safety inspections and follow safety rules etc etc so there is not going to be any car seat that you purchase (in the US of A from a store) that is not regulated by the safety laws. Again, good luck to you :) I know how hard it is to choose :(
M.P. answers from Los Angeles on August 12, 2009
Let me first say that I am very saddened to hear about the death of your child. That always changes life in ways we cannot begin to imagine unless in that same circumstance.
Now as to your car seat question...I will begin by letting you know I am a child passenger safety technician and instructor so this is coming from that point of view as opposed to the Mommy point of view :) Britax seats are usually more costly because their harnesses go up to higher weights and heights compared to other seats. If you look closely, convertible seats made by most other manufacturers will only allow your child to sit harnessed in them up to 40 lbs. Britax (and some other manufacturers) have gone the extra mile to make their seats go up to 50-80 lbs in a harness. Keeping your child harnessed as long as possible (this is known at 5 point harnessing)is much safer. Putting children in booster seats too early can cause serious injuries if a collision does happen. I will also say that keeping your child in a rear-facing position for as long as possible is much, much safer too. She sould be facing rear at a minimum of 1 year AND 20 lbs...though as safety professionals we suggest keeping them in that position as long as their car seat will allow...if you have any other questions, you can private message me:) Take good care and be safe...M.
M. answers from Las Vegas on August 12, 2009
This website helped me to choose which car seats to get for my little ones. If you watch the video at the bottom, be prepared to cry. It is really heartbreaking, but really informative.
The whole website has an abundance of information and is a great resource. There is a section on car seat info and it even gives their recommendations.
I ended up getting a Brittax Regent for my daughter (3 at the time) and a Brittax Boulevard for my son (10 months at the time) and have peace of mind about my purchases.
C.P. answers from Los Angeles on August 11, 2009
M. - we love our Britax Boulevard. I was reluctant to purchase something so expensive, but we went to five stories to check out the cheaper alternatives and Britax won the day. My 18-mo. old daughter loves it - its comfortable (she fells asleep on it and her head is not flailing around or bent sideways), garners best safety rating (including side impact). It's worth the investment, I wish we had gotten it when she was an infant. Best of luck!
Also not sure where you are located at, but we purchased ours at USA Baby in Torrance and their price is very competitive. However, unlike Target or Babies R Us, you won't be able to return the car seat if you change your mind.
p.s. one of the moms here gave me a great tip - have your child sit in it and see if he/she likes it (even though you'll make the final decision!).
A.M. answers from Los Angeles on August 11, 2009
Hi M.,
I have a 2 year old, she was 20 months and 20 lbs when we bought the car seats (for 2 cars). We bought then from Costco. It was on the list of car seats that the hospital gave us that compared the different car seats and it also sold at Babies R Us. It was the best for the bucks and it was a lot less expensive then at Babies R Us. My husband and I are perfectly happy with it and it has lots of growing room for future years as well. My opinion is to go with Costco. It's the same brand that is sold in baby stores and is less expensive. Hope this helps.
S.O. answers from San Diego on August 11, 2009
Both of my kids are in Britax Marathon convertible carseats. DS has been in his since he was 6 months old (he is now 4.5 years old and 37 lbs). DD has been in hers since she was 3 months old (she is now 2 and 27 lbs). My DS will outgrow the Marathon in height in the next year, so we will move him into a 5 point harness booster seat probably in the next 6 months or so.
I love the Marathon. I feel very safe and secure putting my kids into it. They are heavier than most convertible carseats and when installed properly, they don't budge at all. Installation is pretty easy, especially if you have the LATCH system in your car. Just plug in both sides, lean your leg on top of the carseat, then pull both sides and it's in secure and tight.
Check consumerreports.org and the CHP website for the safety ratings on current carseats. I think they rated some of the cheaper carseats and they did well safety wise. When I was in the market for our carseats, I went to the store and tested a bunch out. Even though the other carseats rated high in safety, I just really liked the solid and secure feeling that I got from the Britax carseats.

I am a mother of three..1,2,and 4.5. I had a britax and could not stand it for my daughter, a friend gave it to me, because we had a different care seat for my 1st daughter (can't remember) We just bought our 1 and 2 year olds the radian XT by sunshine kids. I love it had better ratings than the britax, has a metal frame instead of the plastic. Just awesome. My husband did the research. We have all three in the back of the yukon.

Episode Information
The Crash of 1929
In the "roaring twenties," while the stock market was rising, there were few critics. It was a "new era" when everyone could get rich. Wall Street leaders such as Charles Mitchell, president of the National City Bank (which would become Citibank), stock specialist Michael Meehan and Jesse Livermore, a Wall Street insider, found new ways to manipulate the stock market and grew incredibly wealthy, helping create the economic boom of that fabulous decade. Their success made them folk heroes of the day. The upward climb of the market seemed limitless. But in October 1929, the market plunged, taking with it the finances of the Wall Street titans and everyday investors alike. Philip Bosco narrates.

text: You know the one, the only, the annual Fort Lauderdale Billfish Tournament? The 39th version of it starts today with a free kickoff party at the Las Olas Marina (240 E. Las Olas Cir., Fort Lauderdale), where there will be a raffle, a silent auction, a cash bar, free food from Bru's Room, and music from 6 to 9 p.m. This is also where you can look for fly-fishing legend Billy Pate (who should be hanging around all week) and sign up for the tournament. The five-day fish-murdering fiesta includes a fly-fishing tournament, a one-day "Billfish Slam," and a bunch of TNTs -- or tournaments within the tournament. If you don't fish or can't afford the steep entry fees (oh, just $3,500 for the "Big Boat Challenge"), look at the shindig as a way to become friends with people who own boats. Have beer bellies, sure, and smell like fish, yeah, but own boats. Call 954-523-1004, or visit www.billfishtournament.com.

Your data, your fields, unlimited options
Open Leads comes complete with the standard fields, i.e. name, address, phone numbers, etc. but you can add as many custom fields as you need to create your own unique database.
Tag your leads the way you need to label them.
Types are labels which assign a "type" or "category" to your leads to easily identify what type of lead it is or even where it originated from (such as "Trade Show Lead," "Website Lead,"etc.). A single lead can have multiple "Types" to add increased granularity to your lists and searches.
Your data, put it in or take it with you.

Personalize every outgoing message to deliver the impact that you want.

Open Leads automatically generates tokens for all field data, plus signatures, assigned users, and following links. Simply insert them into your save email messages.
Successful sales reps get things done...Open Leads will remind you what's needs to be done!
"Things to do" or Tasks can be scheduled in Open Leads for any lead, or can be freestanding events (to remind you of a dentist appointment, etc.). Completing a Scheduled Task can even schedule the next Task in your sales process.
Sorting and searching your data the exact way you need to.
Search through your data in seconds to find your contacts, manage lists, or create reports with multiple data filters!
Give users different levels of access to your contacts.
Open Leads has an advanced "Permissions" system, giving users access levels ranging from viewing only the leads they are assigned to, all the way to full access to all leads, and account configuration and settings
Getting your leads from your website to your database with forms you can update and publish instantly.
Open Leads forms post leads directly into your Open Leads account. Depending on your choice for deployment of your forms, you can even change and add fields to your forms without a web designer. Hosted forms and iframe forms can be updated in Open Leads and the changes will appear automatically.
Who said what, and when...an electronic "paper trail" archiving the history of each point of contact.
Comments made on a lead are date- and time-stamped by user. Open Leads' multi-user approach keeps track of who is working the lead and the progress they are making.
Link leads together that belong together...automatically.
Open Leads can be configured to automatically "group" the initial contact with any subsequent lead added via a form. With proper permission settings, you can see at a glance all comments and actions for that Lead Group.
