What can they do for it?
Most ulcers are caused by H. pylori bacteria and are treated with a combination of acid blockers like Prilosec and antibiotics. They're having me take a lot of Prilosec and testing to be sure it is H. pylori.
I guess the next question is whether they think the ulcer is related to the oral chemo I was taking. They had me stop taking that last week when the ulcer symptoms started. I hope I can go back to it, because it seemed to be effective and not too dreadful on the side effects scale. I see my oncologist Wednesday.
Chemo is such an endless balancing act.
Glad that you have Dx, Ginger, and that it's treatable. And you are such a hero in my book.
Ginger, I'm sorry you have an ulcer, but I'm glad it's something as eminently treatable as that.
OK, to try to revive the thread: another use for a camel.
another use for a camel.
Practical and yet still creepy.
So, after the tragic events with the pet care company, my arch nemesis (not really, but no other descriptor applies) quit...Yay...then unquit...boo.
Now I am writing a reorganization plan which will change his job dramatically...but hopefully in a way that will work for everyone.
Spare me from the drama llamas!

And the creepy camels! Though to be fair, it was more what the camel was wearing that was creepy and not the camel itself.
I don't think of the Duggars as tribbles, I think of them as trying to single-handedly give birth to an entire platoon of God's Army.
