Health benefits
Pears are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, E1, copper and potassium. Pears are the least allergenic of all fruits. Because of this, it is sometimes used as the first juice introduced to infants. Along with lamb and soya formula, pears form part of the strictest exclusion diet for allergy sufferers.
Pears can be useful in treating inflammation of mucous membranes, colitis, chronic gallbladder disorders, arthritis, and gout.
Pears can also be beneficial in lowering high blood pressure, controlling blood cholesterol levels, and increasing urine acidity.
They are good for the lungs and the stomach.
Most of the fiber is insoluble, making pears a good laxative. The gritty fiber content may cut down on the number of cancerous colon polyps.
Most of the vitamin C, as well as the dietary fiber, are contained within the skin of the fruit.
Three more cancerous lumps have been removed. I now have a crater on my forehead, a black eye and an arm I can barely raise, but this is definitely a Pearl Jam moment 💜
Miles passed away last week while we were on our alaska cruise...he seemed quite fine prior to our departure, but a routine checkup while we were gone found a new lump, nearly one year subsequent to a cancerous tumor he had had removed previously...within just a couple of days he was gone...sadly, we did not get to say goodbye...we cried on our cruise ship...we cried when he did not greet us when we returned home
so this is my good bye...he was a good boy...rest in peace miles...you were much loved and will be remembered well
Mittens sunning herself out the back verandah.
She is sporting a cancerous tumour on her left side and her days are numbered. The vet says she may not see Christmas. She is on pain relieving medication and is doesn't seem to be suffering too much.
The lilys are sitting on my mother's kimono which was a gift to her from my uncle while he was in the service.
Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts for my father-in-law. They have performed tests and determined that there is no cancer anywhere else in his body. They are waiting for the biopsy report on the tumor to see if it is cancerous. At this time they do not think it is! Even though it is inoperable they say it will respond to radiation very well and shrink! We are hoping and praying this will be confirmed with the results of the biopsy. We are very grateful!! I hope you will have a wonderful weekend dear flickr friends!

Dear friend, unfortunately, I will have to undergo surgery again. Doctors have found in the biopsy a small cancerous tumor, less than 6mm, so they will have to remove the entire lung lobe to prevent recurrence.
The surgery will be done tomorrow, so I will be some time off. Luckily I feel very well and strong to face this situation.
Many thanks to all for your visits and words of support. See you soon here on Flickr
As a sleeper in metropolis
You are insignificance
Dreams become entangled in the system
Environment moves over the sleeper:
Conditioned air
Conditions sedated breathing
The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh
Soft and warm
But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night
Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams
We fight our insignificance
The harder we fight
The higher the wall
Outside the cancerous city spreads
Like an illness
It's symptoms
In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations
Tailed by the silent spotlights
Of society created paranoia
No alternative could grow
Where love cannot take root
No shadows will replace
The warmth of your contact
Love is dead in metropolis
All contact through glove or partition
What a waste
The City -
A wasting disease
Here we are, looking down the path which I'll pretend leads us to the future. We are praying it's much better than it's been for a long time, as my husband, Trev, has a major operation to remove a cancerous growth in his bowel tomorrow. It is a tricky operation and he'll need lots of care but it's a new beginning !
So we're ignoring the dark clouds overhead. They went away and soon it was sunshine again !
Keep safe everyone, look after yourselves and each other.
My time on Flickr will be very limited, as you can imagine. Please forgive my frequent absenses, you will know the reason why now.
I hope you like my picture, edited in Topaz Studio and framed and signed in PicMonkey.
Thanks for looking and your wonderful support my friends.
Feathers that seemingly appear out of nowhere are believed by many to be a message from the afterlife. On this particular day my sweet Ollie (dog) had to be put down, as they found a large cancerous mass in her abdomen, nothing could be done for her. I was broken hearted and shortly after her death this feather fell from above. I took it as a sign and was comforted by the thought that my furry loved one was at peace. I kept the feather and later added some water drops to represent my tears and took some macro shots. In memory of you, sweet Ollie.
Andrew has Metastatic Cancer that spread throughout his lungs.... I pray he doesn't suffer and I will keep him comfortable until that horrible day when we have to say goodbye... 😢💔
My cat loves to sit on this ledge and look outside the window when it's open and repeatedly checks on me as well. I'm so lucky to have her. In November she had a cancerous tumor above one eye - rare for a two year old. They operated on her and hopefully she'll be perched in our lives for many many more years to come.
Week 40 in 52 Weeks for Dogs Tasku is perched on top of the pier viewpoint at West Bay with the cliffs to the west behind her.
The vet finally phoned while we were on holiday (I had tried ringing twice for the results before we left) and it is good news. The lab results showed no sign of any cancerous cells. The vet did say that this type of needle aspiration isn't 100% accurate or reliable but I am feeling much happier.
Most patients visiting that department can get an urgent need to pee...no loo close by though. Jonathan received his biopsy results and he has Intermediary Prostate Cancer but has declined treatment for it. An Op is out of the question as cannot undergo an anaesthetic....He is fine about everything.. even my photo choice, although he thinks it a little odd..
BTW Jonathan has been under close observation for five years due to his younger brother dying from an aggressive form of this cancer aged 65.. the latest PSA just escalated fairly recently and exponentially so Jonathan and I knew it would be cancerous..
Relieved it doesn’t appear aggressive but not as low grade as we had hoped disappointingly..
Update on Chip
Just back from the vets, sedated for scans and xray, has three nodules on his spleen, they think one burst on Saturday making him so unwell, they also said that was the smaller one, had it been one of the others he could have bled out and died.
He also has a lump on his throat, that has come back as a fatty lump and is not impeding his eating/swallowing.
We have decided on vets advice to have his spleen, and the nodules removed, if this is successful he could have another 18-24 months maybe more, if they are cancerous we may have a year before having to make the decision. If it is cancer and it has spread to his liver we will have weeks.
Today, pokeberry is being researched as a possible treatment for cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a chemical found in pokeberry juice has been used to successfully treat cancerous tumors in laboratory mice. The chemical is also being tested to determine if it can protect cells from AIDS.
The early warmth of March days beguiles cherry blossoms to bloom.
The flowers speak of indomitable creation as darkness spreads across Europe.
Soon Old Man Winter's blustering voice will blow once again,
sending shivers through the body that longs for Spring.
Yet only for a moment,
for winds out of Siberia shall never quench
the colors, the light of the Spirit reborn.
The Eternal can overcome the evil the Putin spews.
The people shall overcome a cancerous dictator consumed by darkness.

Going through a storm but I won't go down
I hear Your voice
Carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out
You would cross an ocean so I wouldn't drown
You've never been closer than You are right now
A few days ago, we found these tomatoes at our usual grocery store; they seemed to be producing new ones.
So I bought them to take some pictures and then try them.
The word tomato comes from the Spanish tomate, which in turn comes from the Nahuatl word tomatl
The Spanish first introduced tomatoes to Europe, around the year 1530, where they became used in Spanish food.
Elsewhere in Europe, its first use was ornamental, not least because it was understood to be related to the nightshades and assumed to be poisonous.
One of the main components of the tomato is lycopene.
Lycopene has antioxidant properties and protects human cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and aging.
It also modulates the molecules responsible for regulating the cell cycle and can lead to the regression of certain cancerous lesions. (Source: Wikipedia)

¿TOMATES PREÑADOS? 2025
Hace pocos días encontramos en nuestra tienda habitual de alimentación estos tomates que parecían estar criando otros nuevos.
Así que los compré para hacerles unas fotos y luego saborearlos.
El nombre proviene de xitomatl, en la lengua mexica náhuatl.
Los españoles fueron los primeros en introducir el tomate en Europa, hacia el año 1530, donde se incorporó a la gastronomía española.
En otras partes de Europa, su primer uso fue ornamental, sobre todo porque se creía que estaba emparentado con las solanáceas y se pensaba que era venenoso.
Uno de los componentes principales del tomate es el Licopeno.
El licopeno posee propiedades antioxidantes, y actúa protegiendo a las células humanas del estrés oxidativo, producido por la acción de los radicales libres, que son uno de los principales responsables de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, del cáncer y del envejecimiento.
Además, actúa modulando las moléculas responsables de la regulación del ciclo celular y produciendo una regresión de ciertas lesiones cancerosas. (Fuente: Wikipedia)

For the past year, Kakashi has had a cancerous lesion on his right lip/mouth area. Because of his age (almost 20 years old), removing it is not an option. It doesn't seem to bother him that much and he is eating and drinking a tremendous amount (as usual). However, because of its large size, Kakashi continues to scratch, rub and tries desperately to remove it himself. We have tried numerous Elizabethan collars but he figures out how to remove them. When he was out on the back deck lounge chair, I was wrapping his neck area in a shirt or towel to prevent him from rubbing the area. I then ordered some bandanas, and he just loves them! He won't go outside without one and often wants them on in the house. Who knew bandanas would be the answer.
I caught this guy just finishing up with a Snake breakfast, not my best effort but an effort just the same, thanks for everything.
Tomorrow I am going in for a procedure on a removal of a Cancerous Cyst on my chest and hoping that all will be ok and will keep everyone informed of my progress and will try to continue to make comments on all the very beautiful work I see here from friends, thank you all.
We had a LOT of rain this weekend, which knocked off most of the remaining leaves from the trees (except for these beech tree leaves) and caused the stream in our backyard to flood. Boomer had to go into the little wooded area on the edge of our yard to avoid the flood. The cancerous lump on his chest does not seem to be growing (at least I can't feel a difference) and he's acting completely fine, thank goodness.
Dylan and Shane bitched at me to post something tonight. To give you all a break from the tumors they are posting, here's a left work in progress I have.
Kind of a way to show what the variety of content on this page will be like. Memes and wips, mainly.
Still have some sanding and layers I want to add on the knees, and more armor and cloth are going to be added along with the arms. Still not sure if I should make this into Boba or a mandalorian of my own design.
probably not gonna get any love because this isn't a cancerous maymay but whatever

We went on a sunny bike ride, 10 miles on a Florida island and used oxybenzone spray. That night we learned of the recall on these cancerous products. And so, I found this on another shelf of my dad's house...a little late. But, now we will use this for further trips out into the Florida sunshine!
I must tell you, friends, that this Macro Monday came to my rescue. I am so shaky and teary eyed at the sudden passing of my 98 year old STRONG dad. And so taking the picture for the challenge has given me comfort.
Who would think a YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE would come to be so symbolic in my life today. Thank you Macro Monday friends.
I know you’re there. And that knowing takes my heart into your world. An infinity of water. The sacred substance of life. I try to imagine what it’s like, gliding smoothly beneath the surface, seeing creatures and landscapes that are like dreams made real. Above, the seagulls ride the wind and briefly the clouds permit a dappling of sunlight. Below, you travel through a blue forest of liquid light beams.
Right now, around 20,000 of you are traveling from Alaska all the way down to Mexico, right along my coast. I know you’re there. I’ve looked and I’ve waited - in vain. I have yet to take a single picture of you. But I’ve seen you on several occasions over the years, feeding close to shore, a glistening black mountain between the waves, spraying a fountain of mist! What a thrill! I remember each instance vividly. Even though we’ve never had a direct encounter, I felt touched by you, I felt I knew something about you, that you are gentle. And I felt you know secrets about the true nature of love.
Your mouth may be one of the biggest on the planet, but it’s not you who depletes the ocean. It is us. Driven by an appetite unhinged from nature, we eat off the plates of those yet to be born. Not only our own generations, but yours and everybody’s. I never want to look out over this ocean and know you’re not there anymore. Thankfully, we stopped just short of killing you all and you have made a promising recovery. We can choose to move away from the cancerous idea of perpetual growth and towards a new appreciation of balance. Like the dancer who can hold her center, the pursuit of balance results in much grace and beauty.
Be always there, gliding smoothly.

Overall, the display came out ok. We had people drop at the last minute, some showed up with unfinished plates, and the display was ultimately 1/3 the original size. So whether you'd say it's awesome or cancerous, we were able to finish it. And I'm proud for what my small team was able to accomplish after such a slew of setbacks. Next year will be different, lads.
Tiger is 8 1/2 now. A few months ago he was diagnosed with a cancerous lump near his spine. The surgeon removed it and he had to be kept still for a month, so you can imagine what that was like! Even when he had the lump he wasn't feeling sick so I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to understand why he had to lay in his dog bed 24/7, not jump up on the couch and only go outside for a few minutes a day to go to the bathroom.
We won't know if he's out of the woods, so to speak, until a year and a half after the surgery. If he makes it that long, then he should be okay. We're out taking walks again and he's happy. When he's happy, I'm happy...
This picture is for the group Happy Caturday and this week the theme is "Sense of Comfort ".
You may have noticed that I've been missing for the past few weeks and that a couple of months ago I had to have surgery. I posted that the surgery itself went as expected but the reason for it was not good. My doctor had told me that a large mass was found in my right lung (by xray) and that it looked to be cancerous. I had outpatient surgery for a lung biopsy and the surgeon said that the mass was about as big as a large egg and that he expected the results to come back as cancer. It did.
I have been diagnosed with Stage 3b Non-Small Cell Lung cancer and it has spread. Surgery can not be done for a few reasons.... where it is located, my lung function is too low and because it has already spread to many lymph nodes. I started chemo and radiation one week ago. I will also have immunotherapy although I'm still not sure what that is.
Unfortunately I did smoke most of my life and had quit about 5 years ago. The doctor said that had I had a chest xray 1 year ago the cancer would not have been there, so it was fast growing. A family history of lung cancer increases your chances from what I've been told. My Grandma had lung cancer and she never smoked. My Dad also had it but he smoked.
For the next month or so I may be on and off depending on how I feel. Right now I've just been posting a photo or two on Happy Caturday when I feel like it. I really hate to post a picture and not be able to view and comment on other Flickr friends pictures... but if you don't mind, maybe I can at least fave your pictures to let you know I'm looking and then when I feel okay I will comment. All Flickr friends pictures are important and without them my own pictures would mean nothing.
It's been a very rough few months with my Mom passing away, my Dad's cancer metastasizing and then me being diagnosed. I would greatly appreciate prayers... I believe that God does listen. He doesn't always answer with a "yes" though. But still He hears you and sometimes gives you a miracle.
So anyway, I'm done babbling. :)) I just wanted to let you know what has been going on and why I haven't yet been viewing your pictures.
**I've already warned Noah that I may be shaving him to make myself a wig when my hair falls out! He was not impressed with my threat. :)))

Mike said, "Oh my god, that's awful." And turned away to shield his eyes. When I made him look a second time he shuddered quite visibly saying, "You're not going to post that, are you?"
I laughed because... yeah, duh, of COURSE I'm posting it. I find it quite an arresting image. And the fact that it's my body... in a most unflattering light... is entirely beside the point.
I like that Mike finds it horrifying. Perhaps other viewers will as well. Or maybe Mike's horror is uniquely that of a husband whose wife is flaunting her fat. I guess we'll find out.

Just going to say Brickfair this year was my favorite by far. It was really awesome to see other people from Flickr again and hangout behind the TMC booth. After seeing the cancerous failure of Narva and the actual creation of FloseLUG, I already have high hopes for our next collab. I was pretty happy with winning the Historical Section Brickee which I don't know if I really deserve... but whatever, papa Gary will be back in there next year. One thing I will say though is that I think I spent more money on food than on Lego.
I will be writing an email at some point to Todd about his terrible convention setup this year, that is for sure. There is no reason for the historical section to be a football field away from military and where the Five Dollar Footlong were my curtains?
Hopefully I can see some of you guys again at New Jersey in 6 weeks...
"GOT YER!" and I am not sharing with anybody! bidding a hasty retreat, so other grebes cannot get its fish! They dive and spend so long under water its a matter of following the ripples and bubbles, and this one came up with a fish quite near. One thing I love about these grebes is their call, it utters a characteristic whinnying call, that lasts for quite a few seconds, different to any other bird I have heard .

PRAYER ANSWERED!
My son, has been troubled by a lump in his lungs, after several weeks of tests, its come back as non cancerous, its a node. THANK GOD!
Continuing from my thought in the previous post.
What is real and what is imaginary? Amitoda says, Real is what is. Imaginary is what you wish it was.
What is? How do we define 'what is'? What can be seen, felt, smelt and touched is reality? But what about what can't be touched, felt or smelt but seen, like a reflection? A reality definitely! But the same reflection can not be seen by another person looking at the same scene but from a different angle. Does that make it unreal? No, definitely no! Therefore, what is reality for one, may fail the test of what is real - sight, smell, sound, touch - for another?
How about schizophrenics then? They see things that others don't! They believe in those being real. We don't. (I am not even talking about psychics here.)
How fragile, then, is this 'reality of senses'?
When I think of my favorite foods, I start sensing their aroma! Or that first love; that first kiss; that scent on her, I can smell it every time with its thought., even 25 years later! It's definitely not a reality. It's the past. The "Bhoot".
If a past experience or a craving can haunt us like this - I mean by actually making you feel that experience in your senses, can something else also come back from a past and haunt you? Aren't we getting now into a gray area between the real and the unreal? Hindi has a nice way of putting it - it has one single word for 'past' and for 'ghost' - "Bhoot"!
I m not really sure of how real is the 'real' we experience. May be we all are living a dream. My reality is, what I m dreaming about. If you comment on my picture, may be u r not commenting at all! May be I m just dreaming about it. While I m doing this rambling essay on my picture here in my dream, I might be doing something else in your dream - a dream that you call - your reality! Can your reality be different from mine? I mean radically different - not as a matter of perspective.
Let me share an experience with you.
My mother, whom I loved so much, died of brain tumour about a decade and a half back. She was 58 years then. She was all fine till a day and then the next - she started showing signs of forgetfulness - lost her short term memory but all long term memory was intact! And then she started losing her sense of time - calling day as night; morning as evening and vice versa. All in a matter of hours! A CAT scan showed half her brain, the absolute middle of it, was taken by a tumour. Too late and too big and too deep for any medical or surgical help. She died within a month and a half of that day.
The incident I m talking about is, from the first few days of discovery of this tumour, before my mother lost all her senses and eventually her life.
That night, I stayed over at my parents house to look after my mom.
We must have slept at midnight.
I woke up with a start.
My mother was up and the room lights were on. I felt as if I had slept a few minutes back. My mother said it was 5 am in the morning. Time to start the morning chores! I looked at the wall-clock disbelievingly. It was indeed 5 am! I could swear I had slept a few minutes earlier. My wrist watch said the same. My mother pointed to the curtained window. "See, the dawn is already breaking," she said. The water is running from the tap too (in many parts of India, water is supplied only at fixed hours to homes, generally at 5 am for an hour or so. Hence, many Indian housewives leave a kitchen tap on, so that they would know as soon as water supply started. This works like a morning alarm in many middle and lower middle class households) I could see the faint light of dawn thru the heavy curtains on the window. And I could hear the tap running in the kitchen. Well, I m stressed and so I m feeling tired, I thought. I dived into my quilt again for a snooze. A few minutes later, I heard my father waking me up and trying to persuade my mother to get back into bed. He should know better, I thought. She has been waking up at 5 am for a better part of the 20th century!
"But its only 12.30 am," said my father.
I looked again.
The wall clock; my wrist watch; the light of dawn; and that sound of running tap water - all had reset themselves.
00:27 hrs! 20 odd minutes since we had slept!
My mother was still insisting it was 5 am and still pointing to now 'absent' tap sound and dawn light.
"Can you imagine your mother has gone mad in just two days!" sobbed my dad. For him there was no difference between a cancerous tumour and madness. But I was thinking something else.
For a brief moment I had seen the world the way my sick mother was seeing.
Neurologists were calling this loss of 'sense of time', a classic symptom of brain tumour. But, is it that she had moved into a different level of the 'matrix' with a different set of realities? Was this a glitch in a dream generation system? Her realities were all too real for her - sight, sound, smell and touch - all! And I had seen them and heard them too!
(I am not a great story teller. Brevity is not my forte in any case! So, if you have come this far - I love you!)
My point is, if reality is - what the senses tell - then its a very faulty and prone-to-malfunction device we have.
For now, I rest my case! Since, I do not know what is real, I can not put forward any arguments.
You see, to make a case you need to believe in it.
And how can I believe, when I do not know!
Oh by the way, the pictures are of Common Redshank Sandpiper (Tringa Totanus) and Grey Heron (Ardea Cinerea), both migratory birds commonly found in marshes all over India.
Robin (Erithacus rubecula), with some sort of cancerous growth or is that a nasty Bird Tick below right eye?

and I a couple of weeks ago...carefree...
Now a huge sword is hanging over our heads.. her husband has been taken up in hospital with excruciating pain on his back! They discovered a growth (95% chance of being cancerous).. on his spine...
Please... we need all the prayers we can get!!!
Thank u!!!
i sent this note to a few friends yesterday:
"today WILL be a great day... i can feel it... we meet with the surgeon at 3:30pm to learn our options... and then home to watch obama roll.... it will only be good news on both fronts...
Tom"
yep... i could feel it... blessed change... president obama...
v&i got about the best news we could yesterday... the left breast will have to go... before the surgery, v must have a bone scan... a set of upper body ct scans... chest x-rays,,, some blood work... and an MRI guided biopsy of three possible cancerous sites that appeared during the MRI on her right breast...
even if the right breast is in the clear... v is still leaning toward a double mastectomy... v is talking to many of our friends and family who have faced this choice to learn more... of course if you are reading this and made this choice yourself in your life... please feel free to contact us through flickr mail... we'd love to learn from your story...
shockingly, at least to us, they do the mastectomy and a large part of the reconstruction at the same time... literally hours... 4-5 hours of surgery... geesh...
once we have the scan results... and the results from the lymph node examination during the surgery hopefully the doctors will be able to rule out chemo... so finally we have a plan to kick its ass... the testing will proceed quickly... surgery will be completed within the next 4-5 weeks... my wonderful sister ann already has her ticket purchased and will come help as soon as we need her... she is a blessing...
and v... well v is a tower of strength... an inspiration...
so about as good as news as we could get... and president obama... a very good day... a great day...
give if you can... for our daughters...
Ever since humanities first sin, Ichor started bleeding through the cracks. Machines became afflicted with Divine Code and cancerous growths; Horns and teeth, bearing the Mark of the Serpent.
Of course, he is no real king, his "royal gown" no more than a straight jacket.
…the day I’ve never wanted to arrive has come…late last night we said goodbye to our beloved Ollie.
The details: In the early morning hours on Thursday (7/5) it was clear that he was in pain, so we took him to the 24/7 emergency hospital in the area, affiliated with our vet's office. Results of an ultrasound revealed a large mass (4-6cm) in his abdomen, most probably cancerous. We opted for surgery, and the mass that was found to be on his small intestine was successfully removed. He also had multiple cysts on his liver (common, but not in such numbers) that may have been spread from the mass, though not highly likely. All went as well as could be expected, but his blood pressure remained low afterwards, despite medications. He had blood transfusions which helped make him stronger, but his kidneys began failing. And weaning him off of the blood pressure med made his bp go drastically low again. Last night (7/7) he had a seizure, and we knew it was time to let him go. He left this world peacefully, with the three people his daily world, my mother, Jay and l. It was my greatest blessing that he was so close, so attached to me. And for now that makes it even harder. I said to a friend during all of this that worry is one of the worst things ever. Turns out that grief is worse. I’ve been away from flickr so long—lately it feels like waves have been coming at me, but I’ve been able to swim. This one has knocked me down.
Ollie lived his 15 years with us in good health and happiness. He never needed one medication, never a vet stay. I chose this photo which I came across recently when digging in my archives because it shows his spunky sweetness in his expression. Nearly to the end, he followed his routine—definitely less active but every bit as affectionate. He’ll be a great angel in heaven—he’s already had experience here on earth. The love we had for each other shall always remain. We'll find each other again...

Just a little video I took the other day down at my creek with the doggies.
The dogs all love going down to the creek and this time of year, the water is really nice. In late summer and early fall, the water gets very low and way less clear.
Otto and Tank are both losing their hearing and their eyesight isn't very good anymore. All part of getting old. Just like me, all my joints literally going to hell.
At least Otto is doing well in that regard. For his age (almost 12) he is doing amazingly well in spite of the cancerous tumors he has.
Tank, I get the feeling, at the age of 14, seems almost a bit senile at times. Sugar though, my little black doxie, is doing extremely well. At times you would never guess she is 14 years old. When we walk on my property, she still runs up and down the hills at full speed. It's actually pretty amazing to see.
....for now....
two weeks ago, Andrew had a cancerous lump removed from his breast... they said this type of cancer is very aggressive... my vet removed a lot of tissue that connected it and today he went for his stitches to be removed and x-rays to make sure it hasn't spread.....
thank the Good Lord he was all clear....
my vet is speaking to the oncologist to see if there is any medicine, that won't make him sick, to take proactively....
if not... we will just retake the x-rays again in 3 months.

Hello everyone!
Where did the year go? It only just felt like new years 2019 the other week. This year has been an incredibly wild one, lots of things have been happening. My own health has fallen to a drop over the last couple of weeks. My doctors have discovered a lymph node in the left gland and I won't know whether it's cancerous or not until after the 30th but I'll be soaking up the sun and enjoying the Christmas to the best I can. In the meantime, I'll be doing a few little Xmas pictures. I've got a few install before I wrap the year up and bounce into a new year around the corner. I love to experiment, I'm all about trial and errors and over the past few years in Second Life, I've always wanted to do something new when it came to Christmas trees. This year, I took a risk which I think has turned out so lovely, a few of my friends have been in absolute awe over this Christmas tree, with the white doves. I wanted to do a bit of symmetry and bring the cheer of joy with a modern edge. I've gone with a palate of whites, beige satin's and golds, with lots of patterns, prints and high quality materials.

Update for all you young people going to tanning booths:
You'll never have a tan better than this one. It was perfect. Dream on. And now, my dermatologist has a blast and charges me a fortune to remove a near constant stream of pre-cancerous moles created by this kind of behavior. It's painful kids and it leaves scars.

Sometimes life is so difficult for us to understand, i haven't really sat down and given the time to my flickr, but today, i have all the time in the world, it seems like the world stood still for a moment, today, my cousin died at 5am. He was only 17, young, smart, and athletic for the most part, last year he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in the back of his knee, it spread so quickly that he had to have his leg amputated in order to save his life, he was able to move on in life until earlier this year when another tumor was found on a biopsy. These are just things that no one can prevent and although we all knew he didn't have long, it pains me to see the sadness on every ones face and to see such a good person at such a tender age be taken from us. his family. his parents. his friends. i don't understand why the good ones have to go, but for whatever reason, its times like this that i wish WE spoke, you'd say the right words... To Ariel, this ones for you.
Our fluffy girl Tilly went over the rainbow bridge at 3:10pm, on Thursday the 10th of January, 2019. She had been suffering from an over active thyroid gland, high blood pressure, heart murmur and had a cancerous growth in her belly. My wife and I made the decision to put her to sleep as she had stopped grooming herself and started to lose weight even though she was eating quite well.
Tilly came to us at about four years of age after her owner left her behind when he closed his factory.
She was always an indoor cat and was happy to stay in the kitchen and dining room.
She is now buried in the backyard garden.
The above photo was taken on the 16th of July, 2017.
Time has passed him by
Back broken
Withered old
At Bandra Hill Road
Covering his shame
From the passers by
Once his belly full of
Xmas Cards New Year Cards
Diwali Cards ..
Soul stir fry
A post card to the
Sophers from Mount Sinai
A letter to Mr Adenwalla
From Brunei
But the Internet
Hot Mail

G mail
Rediff
Choked him
Strangled him
The Final Good Bye..
The Red Post Box
Is dying
a cancerous tumor
Incurable..
Sabotaged
Do and Die
High and Dry
A vacant emptiness
No reply
Mumbai
Monsoonal flood becomes Venice
Disaster management turns blind eye
Municipal apathy
Choked gutters
Boats that ply
The political honchos
Want to make it Shanghai
The red post box utters
A silent cry..
Sheds a tear
Without a sigh
