I love cranberry jellied in a can and it is so sweet. The whole berry is good. We feed the cranes too when we fish. They are always hanging around for a free meal. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 12/6/2013 5:20:25 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Grace buys the cranberry juice with no sugar added. It's not bad just add a very large glass of Voka to it. I'm just kidding, I don't drink. Greenie In a message dated 12/6/2013 8:00:32 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Greenie if you can buy the cranberry juice that isn't a cocktail juice. That juice is way too sweet. You can find it in a bottle and all it has is cranberry juice. Mix it with lemon and a lot of water. Real cranberry juice is bitter so you need to dilute it. Just a thought.

I took your advice and I dropped my intake of Coke, coffee and started drinking more water plus the Cranberry juice. It's in the ice box, Grace drinks some every day so that's no problem. greenie In a message dated 12/5/2013 5:57:20 P.M.

I have been doing that for over 50 years and there was one green one born last breeding season. I named it Greenie just for you. OK now to things about your kidneys. If your creatnine level is under one or even a bit above then your alright. You need to be watching for anything over 1.5 or so. Even at that your still going fine. However when you start to notice it climbing then you may have some problems. My kidneys failed about two years ago and my Creatinine levels now are someware around 8 or sometimes a bit higher so I am on dialysis and waiting for a kidney transplant. My problems started more then 24 years ago when I had my bone marrow transplant. Kidneys don't like high dose Chemo or total body radiation. My advice to anyone that is reading this is to start drinking Cranberry juice. That is unless your a diabetic. If so then you must watch your suger levels. Cranberry juice actually washes out your kidneys. 18's Marty On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 5:43 PM, <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: That's right, It seems when we take a test, something always comes up. Also like to mention that the cat scan they did on me cost almost $6,000 and my onc said they needed a followup in 6 months. It's kinda weird because he didn't seem to be worried about anything the cat scan said. It didn't solve me pain side at all, and that was what I was looking for. Go figure!

Could be just part of how my body works. Like I've said before if it's not broken don't try to fix it. Thanks for your reply. Greenie In a message dated 11/30/2013 5:21:22 P.M.

I wonder if this is due to the meds? Doctor didn't seem to worried about it. Thanks for the update. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/30/2013 11:23:38 A.M.

From 1.65 to 1.55. I'm drinking more water and cranberry juice. Didn't come down a lot but it's better then going up higher. Take care, greenie In a message dated 11/15/2013 5:52:28 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) writes: Hi Greenie good to hear from you. I just got this recipe from my daughter for your kidneys. She is good at this kind of health info. In one gallon of water squeeze the juice one 4 lemons. Add 1 cup of all natural cranberry juice, mix well and drink all day. Get the cranberry juice that comes in a bottle with nothing added and use fresh lemons. Also you can make fresh cucumber juice. In a gallon of water add 1 chopped cucumber and 1 juiced cucumber. Zip all day. You are just like me; I don't drink my water like I should. I drink coffee in the morning and tea for lunch and try to have my water in the evening. My Cat Scan showed small lesions on both kidneys but the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. These meds have to be washed out, so if we skimp on water, our kidneys will get clogged. How did you eye surgery go? I miss that post. Good luck and get to drinking. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/9/2013 8:14:13 A.M.

K. put my creatinine levels were high again. Back in 1997 I found some of my blood work and the results were 1.3. Over the years and being on Gleevec for over 13 years my levels range between 1.2 to 1.4 all the time. The last 6 months in May it went up to 1.5. and last Wed. it went up to 1.6. My Internist wants be to get blood work in 2 weeks and depending on the results then he wants me to get and us renal sonogram to see what's going on. I'm not one for drinking a lot of fluids, in the morning I have two cups of coffee, at lunch I have a can of coke, at dinner I have another can of coke then before bed time when I take my blood pressure pill I will drink some water. I know that I should be drinking more fluids put I don't like water. So my wife went out and purchased a case of water with favor in it. I will drink a beer maybe 3 to 4 times a month with dinner but no hard stuff. I don't smoke gave that up many years ago. If anyone have some input as to what I can do to lower my counts. I only have to get blood work every 6 months, if fact my Doctor in Chicago told me in May when I went to see her she said that I only have to get my blood work when I come to see her. I asked her if it would be O. K. if I did it once a year down here in Florida that way I know what's going on every 6 months. Let's face it we all worry some what about what's going on in how bodies. That would make me feel better cause I'm worried. Take care, greenie In a message dated 11/9/2013 7:55:16 A.M.

What does MR4.5 mean in plain English? I am guessing that it means a 4.5 log reduction, but I am not sure. The other thing is, what happens if after 2 years you lose MMR? Do they still give you free Tasigna for another 3 years or do they say "We've got our answer, you're out of here" ? Just thinking out loud..........
