On average the flow is about 60meters wide, and with time its only widening out. Source: I live down the road from Pahoa. 25 year resident

Ha, yeah mouth sores and dry mouth. Made it impossible to eat or drink anything. Everything felt a lot sharper and hotter than it actually was. I tried everything for the mouth sores, even prescription stuff to gargle but the only thing that helped was time. Between each round of chemo I had a week or two break so my migranes, sores, dizziness, and back pain kind of cleared up just in time for another round. I barely feel like I made it to the last treatment. My numbers were so low I should have gotten a blood transfusion but I said I felt ok and wasn't too dizzy. I blamed it on not drinking enough water but I just really didn't want a transfusion! I wanted to fight through on my own.

I can't imagine what menopausal symptoms plus going through chemo is like, especially at such a young age. I really wish you all the best and will let you know when I am in Oahu if you'd like to meet for lunch or what not.

Thanks again for sharing and stay strong!

You live in Oahu?!?!? I'm on the Big Island, a recent survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma. I was diagnosed at age 17, went through chemo and radiation for a year and am now back to normal life at age 24. I graduated with my bachelors in business admin and am applying for a MBA at Manoa for Fall 2014. I'd love to meet you one day and exchange stories. All the best to you! I had just about every awful symptom during chemo and feel for ya.

What is your opinion about the federal/state safety regulations for oil rigs? There was a lot of discussion over the fact that regular safety tests/inspections of the Deep Water Horizon were not being performed? And do you see anything along the lines of politics mixing with big business? Just curious. It was a hot topic in my college ethics class a few years back.

Thanks for doing this AMA!

I have a couple of mares, both around 16years old. As far as their dental needs go, I've been wetting down their alfalfa cubes and giving them Purina senior grain. They are out to pasture 24/7. Is there anything else I can do that you'd recommend? I live in Hawaii so I know our season's are different than elsewhere
