Boy do I feel like crying on all your shoulders today. Charles has cancer in the right lung and in his liver. So he will need more chemo. The goal is to do as little harm as possible to his lungs which are horrible anyway. He will need a brain MRI to see if it's stage 4 or not. We sure...

The latest check with the dr showed the tumor is totally gone!!!! That's a blessing...BUT and there always has to be a but..they found a 1/2 inch spot in the right lung now. Thursday we go for tests to see if he can have radiation. The new pills they have developed will not work for him, they...

I started out knowing nil about growing hot peppers. I had trades from AJ, Smoke, Chris, Potawie and I'm sure others who I missed. I have had great results and learned a lot from all the growers. Why would you want to mess up a good thing ?

Wow I haven't been here for a while. This is a shock. I am speechless and that doesn't happen often. I hope it will remain drama free and simple. One day at a time my friend, that's all you can do. Don't be too hard on yourself, like Patrick said get a lawyer too. We'll be thinking of you...

I have only had an envelope of seeds go missing once. I sent it to cmpman. He let me know and I sent another, finally after that he received the original package...post office mess up somewhere. I usually have no problems sending or receiving seeds.

This week he had a ct scan and met with the chemo doctor. We have before and after pics of the results. The tumor has shrunk by more than half and there are no new spots!!!!! We are so happy with this news. He will have a PET scan the end of July to see how much good the treatments have...

Just received our plants today, all in great shape. They were very well packed, moist but not damp. I'm really happy since I didn't have plants this year. I would definitely order from them again!!!

It's been a while since I made an update. Yesterday we saw the radiation doctor. She officially is off the case unless he gets sick or needs her. For those who don't know Charles is a slender man, stands 6'1", average weight 135. Chemo and radiation usually take their toll especially on...

Happy belated birthday, hope you had a great one!!!

Happy belated birthday!!! Hope it was a great day!!!

Thanks Patrick, I'll take you up on that offer!! Whatevever you can spare my friend, I'd be happy to have.

We are done with chemo and radiation..now have to wait for tests in Apr and late June to know if he needs any more or how well treatment worked. At least we won't have to drive that far on a daily basis and I can stay home, plant peppers and do all the things that got neglected for so long...

Seems like I just don't get here as often as I need to..the 16th of March hopefully is the last day of radiation. We found out that along with blood count too low for chemo it can also be too low for radiation. Gas here in town went up to $3.65 so we try to fill up in Sioux Falls as it usually...

I personally remove the netting. If it has lots of roots like yours do I'd cut a slit up the net in several places..better to sacrifice a few roots than to have the plant unable to grow properly.

Quick update here...we saw the chemo dr yesterday, Charles white count was down a little. The side effects will be starting now. 17 more days of radiation. In May or June the PET scan will be repeated to see if the chemo is working. Apparently it keeps working after the treatments have...

Good morning all, coffee is great this morning.

Boy do I wish a trip to Texas was in the cards!!! I'd be very happy to have some of those plants. But MN is a long way from you..one day at a time, I will make it down there one of these years.

Quick update this morning: I don't get much done on the computer as often now, my name might be there but if you haven't talked to me I'm probably not at the keyboard. Charles is up to 126 now. Hopefully he stays there or gains more. Tomorrow we have a meeting with the chemo dr and will get...
