My question is: why someone who hacks needs to trade pokemons? He could have any pokemon he wants, why trading? If it's a favour to another person, I could understand (like a shiny legendary for a patrat, just to do some "charity"), but why would one trade hacked pokemons in the first place?
Anyway I had some luck getting some interesting pokemons (like zorua, eevee, Unova starters I didn't have, etc...), but most people you meet have ridicolous requests: they show you a panpour (yes, uncommon but not that rare), and they don't accept anything for it.
But the people I hate more are those who show you lvl. 100 pokemons, shinies, legendaries, when my signature clearly says "I would like to trade X" or "No Rare"...
Also, I hate that you can't ask for a pokemon you didn't see. If you want a specific legendary, like a Kyogre, how do you say that?

Yea I hate that as well. It's a pain trying to get ahold of some Pokemon due to it. Had a little luck last night though , got a Flygon for a Crobat. So that turned out ok.
@ Imanokie12: Had that happen too . They'd put up something I'm interested in, and then try the old switcheroo. When I run into that, I'm like: 'no go' and I disconnect.

Looking forward to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Will be training up the shiny Abra I have that's named Robin in honor of you. May you R.I.P.
i haven't had much luck at all. i find the trade forums on here to be much more helpful
I am a Christian, and not ashamed to admit it! Copy and paste this if you are too.
I have recieved a Rattata with illegal IVs, a Jynx with illegal IVs and EVs over one thousand, and a shiny Victini that knew Hydro Pump.
'Nuff said.
i went back on to see if i found any good pokemon on there and i found some black exclusives. and guess what?... they didn't want a lvl.9 zekrom in return.
I am a Christian, and not ashamed to admit it! Copy and paste this if you are too.
lol a few months after B/W was released, if you had zorua, you could get a lot of stuff in negotiations. So I breeded Zorua like crazy, and I got a lot of starters, and a phione =) .
My White FC: 3267-6107-5199
I'm collecting starters. So far I have:
and everything from Unova. ^^
I've been looking on the GTS and I can't find anyone that ISN'T looking for a lv. 9 and under Reshiram or Zekrom!!
Anyone want to make friends on X and Y?
Safari: Galvantula, Dedenne, and Helioptile
Looking For: Normal w/ Eevee, Dark w/Absol, Dragon w/ Sliggo, Fire w/ Charmeleon and/or Ninetails!
I've got Pokemon X! Xerneas FTW!
I use GTS negotiations because I find it thrilling to trade with people from Japan and everywhere else where I will never visit. I think it's cool getting a Japanese pokemon because you can use it while doing MM to increase the chances of a shiny. The best I have ever gotten was a Flygon for a shiny Weavile. I don't even remember where I got the Trapinch I evolved it from, probably another trade. But I think it's fun.
i left an entei for raikou.... ireceived a shiny raikou!!!!!
Spoiler:- Lvl 100 Pokémon:
My level 100 Pokémon:
You can't really tell if you get a legit pokemon or not in the gts they can make it look legit. But the best I got is a hopefully legit Audino level 100 and aerodactyl level 100
Pokemon Black FC :2280 2971 8079
I've become very annoyed with the GTS Negotiations. Everyone just wants to spam the unhappy face and have absolutely no regard for the level bracket I chose. No I'm not going to be able to trade you anything for a level 100 Arceus since we're in the Level 1 to 49 bracket which means I don't want to trade any pokemon over level 49!
I got Giratina lv 1, Dream Radar Dialga, B2/W2 Latias and Heatran from GTS Negotiations last week

Some idiot from Japan tried to trade an oh-so-very-hacked shiny Zekrom. Good thing when I accidentally pushed "trade" it said that the other player's Pokemon were not able to be traded. Whew.
Then some Random German Guy just showed me his shiny collection and left.
My sister however, is now MMing Mudkips. She also picked up some Johto starters and a Gible for a few of the Pokemon I gave her via Poketranfer.
Looking forward to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Will be training up the shiny Abra I have that's named Robin in honor of you. May you R.I.P.
i have gotten i think 3 legit shiny pokes from there. I also got a hacked lugia clone :P but at leats i traded cloned pokes though so nothing lost.
Latest Shiny!
Chain fish in Cyllage City in Pokemon X!
PM me if you decide to add me. Psychic Friend Safari with Xatu, Munna and Espurr.
I got a legit shiny Gastly yesterday on fourth gen in exchange for a Ditto, and nearly traded my Lugia for a level 100 shiny Turtwig holding a Master Ball. However, I didn't get it.
In 5th gen, though, I don't even know where the GTS is.

Had a good time on the GTS recently, got a couple of Thundrus off of it and I got a Kyurem for a Spiritomb . Made my day on that one.
Looking forward to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Will be training up the shiny Abra I have that's named Robin in honor of you. May you R.I.P.
Bad luck. All I ever find is people asking for a Reshiram or Zekrom in exchange for all different kinds of Pokemon.
first time i used it, i put up my shiny gyarados for a totodile, thinking i could take it back. sadlyy, the trade wen t through before i knew what i was doing
I just saw a mew level 100 up for trade for a cobalion level 100. It sounded reasonable but I didnt have a cobalion level 100, so I searched that pokemon and I saw a person that wanted a level 100 accelgor for it. So I searched level 100 accelgors and saw someone wanted a level 100 lugia for it(which I have). I traded and eventually I got a level 100 mew for a level 100 lugia.

San Diego International Airport's expansion of Terminal 2, known as The Green Build opened in August 2013. The project adds 10 new gates, a dual-level roadway and additional aircraft parking. These improvements will meet the airport's needs until we reach about 20 – 21 million passengers annually. (In 2014, the airport accommodated nearly 19 million passengers.) Other capital improvements either under construction or in the planning/design phases include a new centralized receiving and distribution center, fixed-base operator building, relocated surface parking and a rental car center.
Please join the Airport Authority for a community open house on Tuesday, July 14 for an overview of the Airport Development Plan (ADP) and the current concept alternatives. The same presentation will be repeated at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Details can be found here.
The Airport Authority is beginning the process to identify the next phase of improvements that will enable San Diego International Airport to meet demand through 2035. This planning update is known as the Airport Development Plan (ADP). The 2008 Airport Master Plan (resulting in The Green Build) will be considered as part of the planning update.
The first two years of the process (2012-2013) will look at the entire airport and generate a plan that considers:
The plan will also take into account new information from a recent passenger survey. The environmental review process for the draft plan will follow (2014-2016).
Take the survey and let us know what is important to you!
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Act calls for the Airport Authority to form a citizens advisory committee to assist the Airport Authority Board in its responsibilities specific to the planning and development of airport facilities at San Diego International Airport. The purpose of the Authority Advisory Committee is to serve as a sounding board and catalyst for the development of recommendations to the Airport Authority Board on issues for which the Airport Authority is responsible.
The Airport Authority is committed to keeping the public informed throughout the Airport Development Plan four-year process. There will be multiple opportunities for public input during the planning process and the formal environmental review.
If you are interested in inviting an Airport Authority representative to make a presentation about the Airport Development Plan to a group that you're involved with, please contact Peggy Cooper at 619-400-2470 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
See behind the scenes of San Diego International Airport! The Airport Authority offers free tours of the airport and airfield, including up-close looks at the runway and public art. Tours are two hours long and are offered four times a month – each second and fourth Thursday at 10 a.m. and Friday at 1 p.m. Click here to submit a request and let us know which dates you will be available.
As part of the public outreach for the Airport Development Plan, the Airport Authority will host community meetings at various project milestones. Dates and locations will be posted here. The meeting information will also be communicated to San Diego area media outlets.
If you would like to be added to the Airport Authority's email list to be kept informed about the Airport Development Plan, please email Rebecca Bloomfield at email@example.com.

Banning Headscarves in Bulgaria: Reflections on the Debate over Religious Symbols in Public Schools
January 14, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
n Europe, the issue of headscarves has the power to expose a variety of social cleavages because it instantly provokes strong stances on matters such as national identity, religion, gender and human rights. This issue also reflects the way in which states set priorities within the broad category of human rights they are obliged to protect. Through her analysis of headscarf bans in Bulgarian schools, Kristen Ghodsee illustrated how a young postcommunist democracy has attempted to create a coherent policy on headscarves while balancing its commitments to multiple constituencies in the US, its fellow EU member states as well as its own diverse population. more
Challenges for Romania's Democratic Consolidation: Assessing the 2009 Presidential Elections
January 27, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
The Romanian presidential elections held last fall provoked accusations of mudslinging, electoral fraud and, most recently, even interference by the occult. Vladimir Tismaneanu offered to bring this debate back to solid ground by presenting his assessment of Romania's path to democracy. Although he found no evidence of the occult, Tismaneanu did point to some idiosyncrasies of the party system in the country as well as what he called the "baroque" coalitions that are characteristic not only of Romanian politics but also of other post-communist European democracies. more
Contemporary Women's Movements in Hungary: Globalization, Democracy, and Gender Equality
February 17, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Although the postcommunist period brought an abrupt end to state policies that raised women's political and economic welfare, it also cleared the way for women to participate freely in democratic institutions and the market economy. Perhaps predictably, therefore, the impact that the postcommunist transition has had on women's welfare has also been mixed. Discussing the findings of her book, Katalin Fabian evaluated the gender regime and the growth of women's movements in postcommunist Hungary. She identified the interconnection between women's organizations, welfare policies and the impact that globalization has had on local activism. more
Human Rights in Post-Communist Transitions: Fulfillment or Betrayal?
February 22, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
The book "Human Rights and Their Limits" shows that the concept of human rights has developed in waves: each call for rights served the purpose of social groups that tried to stop further proliferation of rights once their own goals were reached. While defending the universality of human rights as norms of behavior, Osiatynski admits that the philosophy on human rights does not need to be universal. more
Serbia's Foreign Policy: Substance and Rhetoric
February 24, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Two years after Kosovo independence, the majority of Serbs still reel with the loss of their ancestral province and continue to resent the role the United States played in the break-up of their country. At the same time, most continue to support becoming part of "the West" and joining the European Union, and are almost equally eager to strengthen their country's political, cultural, and even military ties to the United States. more
Extreme Politics: Nationalism, Violence, and the End of Eastern Europe
March 03, 2010 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Charles King's new book Extreme Politics declares an end to the period of "post-communism," both as a period of European History and in terms of the conduct of US foreign policy. The book offers a critique of the way in which academics and policy makers have viewed this period, which began with the fall of the Berlin Wall on 11/9/1989 and ended with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. King argues that this period should be viewed as a unique interlude, rather than as a postscript to the Cold War. more
Building Democracy and State Institutions in Post-War Kosovo
April 05, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Following the NATO intervention in 1999, Kosovo became a de-facto international protectorate in which the United Nations led other international organizations and actors, in building democracy and state institutions capable of sustaining peace. My main research question is: Can ambitious political and economic international interventions, as in Kosovo, build democracy and effective state institutions? more
Getting Kosovo out of Limbo?
April 12, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Since Kosovo's declaration of independence in February 2008, it has been in limbo, as have Serbia, the EU and the broader international community. The hurry to finish the period of Yugoslav dissolution and conflict resulted in something other than the end of transitional administration and creation of a final frontier desired. Instead, there was a messy proliferation of transitional states, in even murkier circumstances than there had been previously. more

Romani Politics in Contemporary Europe: Poverty, Ethnic Mobilization and the Neoliberal Order
May 12, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
The profound shifts in economic policy towards neoliberal market principles in the 1990s in the former socialist countries of Europe (economic 'shock therapy' in some cases) resulted in catastrophic labor market exclusion and unemployment for many Romani Europeans. Although some scholars have discussed the adverse implications of liberal democratic transitions in former socialist states for Roma in particular, few have analyzed the impacts of neoliberal policies that have dominated European political landscapes since the 1980s. more
Threats to the Free Press in the Baltic States: Assessing the Impact of Government Policies and the Financial Crisis
May 05, 2011 // 1:00pm — 2:30pm
The 2008 economic crisis had a dramatic impact on the societies and economies of the Baltic States. To give a sense of the scale: in Latvia, GDP plummeted from 11.9 percent in 1996 to -19 percent in 2009. Two journalists from the region, Inga Springe and Dainius Radzevicius, asserted that among the many other consequences of the crisis, it has had a significant impact on the quality of the media. The panelists discussed the impact that these developments may have on democracy in the region.
Can Intervention Work? Lessons From Bosnia and the Balkans
May 09, 2011 // 2:00pm — 3:30pm
Support for international interventions around the world is more often driven by the relative success of the most recent experience of intervention, rather than on the merits and context of each specific case, according to Gerald Knaus. With the current debate about NATO's intervention in Libya in the news, Knaus evaluated the methods recently employed to assess and plan interventions, and offered his own framework for how to conduct international interventions, based on lessons learned in the ongoing intervention in Bosnia.
Islam at the EU Border: Muslim Minorities in Greece and Bulgaria
February 23, 2010 // 1:00pm — 2:30pm
Over the last 20 years, Bulgaria and Greece have pursued variable and divergent policies toward their Muslim minorities. During a brief period near the end of the Communist regime, Bulgaria forced Turks to assimilate. This policy was abandoned by the democratic government that took power in the 1990s. At the same time, Greece recognized its Muslim minority and facilitated the "Turkification" of its Muslim citizens throughout the 1980s, but then abandoned that policy by blocking minority rights in the 1990s. Harris Mylonas suggested that these policy shifts are commonly explained by assumptions or models that link minority treatment, regime type, ideology and leadership personalities. Rejecting these hypotheses, Mylonas argued that the structure of the international system was the most salient indicator influencing the treatment of Muslim minorities in both countries.
Book Launch: How Enemies Become Friends: The Sources of Stable Peace
November 04, 2010 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
Imminent violence and war make news headlines, while longstanding peace and good inter-state relations hardly seem newsworthy. By contrast, Charles Kupchan's new book, How Enemies Become Friends: The Sources of Stable Peace, focuses on the origins of peace rather than war. While war is certainly big news, he posits that the bigger news is that the US-Canada border has been consistently peaceful for more than a century, or that only 68 years after France and Germany fought two world wars, people can now drive across the border as though it does not exist. His new book seeks to identify the dynamics that lead countries to achieve lasting peace.
The Impact of Global Crisis on Transition Countries With Special Regard to the Western Balkans
November 17, 2009 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
While the economic crisis that began in 2008 has had a global reach, the pain of the crisis has been disproportionately felt in the postcommunist transition countries generally, and in the Western Balkans in particular. Former WWICS public policy scholar Franjo Stiblar offered the simple explanation that poor countries, with their higher income inequality and high unemployment, are fated to feel the effects of the economic crisis more strongly. In addition to being relatively poor, the countries of the Western Balkans were particularly vulnerable to the crisis due to extremely high external debt to GDP ratios and high foreign currency reserves. Their economic performance also contributed to the countries' vulnerability to the crisis, since as Stiblar indicated, the region performs elastically in reaction to the global market, such that a global downturn spurred an even deeper downturn in the Western Balkans.
An Incoherent Policy: Rule of Law Reform in Central Europe and Beyond
April 29, 2011 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Stephen Humphreys's analysis of rule of law theory and practice identified a wide gulf between the theory and the manner in which "rule of law" is promoted abroad. Moreover, according to Humphreys, the extraordinarily ambitious rule of law promotion project has devolved into an incoherent policy because it is treated simply as a technocratic exercise, with few resources and little controversy.
Building Democracy and State Institutions in Post-War Kosovo
April 05, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
Following the NATO intervention in 1999, Kosovo became a de-facto international protectorate in which the United Nations led other international organizations and actors, in building democracy and state institutions capable of sustaining peace.

Southeast Europe After the Crisis: Lessons and Prospects
February 02, 2011 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Southeast Europe—a region still vulnerable from recent conflict, underdevelopment and reliance on foreign direct investment—has been uniquely effected by the global economic crisis. Citing his recent publication, Vassilis Monastiriotis explained that the region's underdevelopment had in part protected it from the financial crisis and that good policies have helped some countries to rebound more quickly.
Support for Democracy From Poland to Serbia to Georgia: The Role of Supranational Identity, International Institutions, and Soft Power
December 09, 2009 // 11:00am — 12:00pm
Competing democratization theories analyze various factors—such as economic development, history, culture, or elite inclination—to determine the propensity of a particular state to become democratic. Each of these theories has distinct policy implications for external democracy promoters. Ryan Kennedy suggested another factor, based on social identity theory, which posits that diplomacy figures much more prominently in democracy promotion than current practice would suggest.
Serbia and the EU: Assessing the Economic Prospects
April 21, 2010 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
As elsewhere in the Western Balkans, Serbia made significant strides in the period 203-8 toward becoming the "functioning market economy" specified by the Copenhagen Criteria as a major credential for membership in the European Union.

Women in East European PoliticsJul 07, 2011
This conference aimed at exploring the experiences and the political goals of women elected to parliament in the postcommunist countries of East Central Europe and Russia. Since 1989, the political scene in Eastern Europe and Russia has changed swiftly. In many countries, women participated in the drive to transform the communist system through demonstrations, civil activism and roundtables.Yet, in the immediate transition period, civic participation of the population in general has declined and the social and political participation of women seems to have declined more than that of men. This difference is attributed in part to the fact that women have been more burdened by the complex adjustments to the social and economic transformations of their societies. In the last few years, however, women with good qualifications and professional experience are slowly gaining political power and influence in several countries.
Fighting Poverty and Reforming Social Security: What Can Post-Soviet States Learn From the New Democracies of Central Europe?Jul 07, 2011
Conference proceedings from a meeting held in Washington, DC, June 10, 2005. After decades of communist rule, reforming social policies and welfare state institutions turned out to be much more difficult and complex than previously anticipated. Regional trends emerged. Most Central European democracies introduced significant institutional reforms in social security, while changing social assistance programs to fight risks associated with poverty. In contrast, many post-Soviet states are still struggling to provide modernized and reliable welfare state protections to the elderly, the disabled and the poor during the prolonged era of political and economic transformation. This one-day conference convened international scholars and policy practitioners to examine patterns of welfare state development in select post-communist states and to analyze how national histories, international actors, domestic institutional contexts and the interdependence of recent social, economic and political reforms have contributed to differences in social policies and welfare state provision. Conference participants explored major similarities and differences in social protection reform in various countries with special attention to practical and theoretical lessons of transition that can enhance our understanding of present and future problems and challenges facing the evolving post-Soviet welfare states in Russia and the neighboring states.
The Tenth Anniversary of the Dayton Accords and Afterwards: Reflections on Post-Conflict State- and Nation-BuildingJul 07, 2011
This publication stemmed from the December 7, 2005 conference, co-sponsored by East European Studies, West European Studies, and the Southeast Europe Project. The 1995 Dayton Accords ended the violent conflict that raged in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995. Yet, while the fighting has ended, ten years afterwards the Dayton Accords have not been replaced by a more permanent legal foundation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. More than simply commemorating the end of a war, East European Studies proposes holding a conference to reflect on what the Dayton Accords achieved over the last decade, what remains to be done in terms of creating a cohesive and self-sustaining state in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and what role the international community can play to promote state-building there. A better understanding of the Dayton Accords will add to the knowledge of peace brokering and state-building, which has become highly relevant in terms of U.S. Security Policy towards the wider world.
334. Ending the State-Building Impasse: What Can Be Learned from Previous EU Enlargements that Might Offer Solutions for Bosnia and Herzegovina?Jul 07, 2011
February 2007 - Over the last two years, the international community's policy has been to accelerate the process of state-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that a strong, unified state can "plug into" European institutions. Certainly, the United States hopes that the European Union (EU) can replicate the strong and positive impact it has had on its 10 member states from postcommunist Europe. At the same time, the EU is eager to test the capacity of its Common Foreign and Security Policy in the Western Balkans and therefore has taken up the challenge to play a larger role in Bosnia and, hopefully, lead it through the accession process.
338. Institutionalized Ethnic Division in Bosnia: A Way Forward for Iraq?Jul 07, 2011
September 2007 - Over the past few months, the Biden-Gelb plan has been widely discussed as a solution for the faltering policy in Iraq. A major component of the plan is to decentralize power in Iraq—Bosnian style—to the three main ethnic and religious groups in an effort to end the civil war. While the applicability of the Bosnian model has been challenged in the press based on the differences in the circumstances under which the Dayton Agreement was signed in Bosnia and the current environment in Iraq, the desirability of the Bosnian model has largely gone unchallenged. This meeting aimed at bringing up some of the rather uncomfortable realities that the Dayton model created in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The debate on what to do in Iraq should not ignore the fact that-although the fighting in Bosnia has ended-inter-ethnic cooperation and dialogue have languished. Twelve years after Dayton, Bosnia is still far from the effective, sovereign and democratic state that the agreement had envisioned. In the end the Bosnian model may serve up more questions than answers for Iraq.
342. Greece, the Western Balkans and the European UnionJul 07, 2011
November 2007 - The Wilson Center's East European Studies program, in cooperation with the American College of Thessaloniki, the University division of Anatolia College, held a workshop November 30-December 1, 2007, which aimed at trouble-shooting the complex process of European integration of the Western Balkans. This meeting was sponsored by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Discussions built upon the dual premise that EU accession holds the best hope for overcoming stagnation in the Western Balkans and that the traditional enlargement process is not working in the region. The US, the EU and neighboring countries, such as Greece, certainly have much to contribute in reinvigorating this process, and coordinating their policies seems to be of paramount importance.

Delaware Pancakes for Parkinson's 2015
September 19, 2015
8:00 am - Noon
Sanford School in Hockessin, DE
Pancakes for Parkinson's is a fun and delicious event that benefits Delaware Team Fox and The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. $100,000 … that is our goal this year. Join local Parkinson's families and support organizations to raise money for a Parkinson's cure. A dozen griddle teams are working together and your gift makes a difference.
Since 2008, Delaware Team Fox has raised awareness and needed research dollars (nearly $500,000!) to speed better treatments for Parkinson's disease. You can participate by creating or joining a griddle team. You can also participate by donating to support a griddle team (see links below) and/or attending the event. Just in case you forget to donate ahead of time, admission is a $10 donation per person on arrival.
Griddle Teams Give 100%. Literally.
In 2015 an anonymous Michael J. Fox Foundation support is covering all the costs incurred by the Foundation to run the Team Fox program—so that every penny donated to Delaware Pancakes for Parkinson's can go straight to high-impact research programs to help speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.

Pronounced: DAW-no-RUE-bih-sin
Classification: Anthracycline
Daunorubicin inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to nucleic acids and preventing them from assembling into the DNA double helix structure. Because DNA is essential for cells to function, Daunorubicin slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body.
Daunorubicin is given through intravenous (into a vein) injection or infusion, over a period of 30-45 minutes. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, and treatment regimen being used. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage that can be severe. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at anytime during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Daunorubicin. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Your urine may appear reddish in color due to the medication. This is not blood. This is expected and can last one or two days after each dose. If the pink/red urine continues past two days or if you have other urinary symptoms such as frequency or painful urination, call your doctor or nurse.
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Your fingernails/toenails may become dark, brittle or fall off. You may notice dry skin or changes in the color or tone of your skin. Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, which can result in severe sunburn or rash. Sun sensitivity can last even after chemotherapy is completed. Avoid the sun between 10-2pm, when it is strongest. Wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) everyday; wear sunglasses, a hat and long sleeves/pants to protect your skin. Keep your fingernails and toenails clean and dry. You may use nail polish, but do not wear fake nails. Notify your doctor or nurse if any nails fall off. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Less common side effects that have also been reported include liver changes and sexual/reproductive changes. In rare cases, the heart muscle can be damaged by this medication, particularly at higher doses. It is important that you report immediately to your doctor or nurse any shortness of breath, cough, ankle swelling, chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeats. Your doctor may order tests to check your heart function.

Faith Has Its Reasons
from R.C. Sproul Sep 04, 2015 Category: ArticlesChristians from every theological tradition have for centuries confessed their faith by reciting the Apostles' Creed. Elsewhere I have taught on the actual content of this creed, but if there is one aspect of this confession that we often fail to reflect on, it is the creed's opening words... Keep Reading
Exercising Your Power of Choice
from R.C. Sproul Oct 18, 2009 Category: ArticlesDoes man have a free will? This question is one of the most frequently asked questions of theology. At times, it is not voiced as a question but as an objection to the whole idea of a sovereign God. Keep Reading
Rediscovering the Law
from R.C. Sproul Oct 17, 2009 Category: ArticlesIsrael's reformation came via a rediscovery of the law, which created a brief awakening to the bankruptcy of a corrupt nation. As a young man, King Josiah began the process of reformation with a spiritual purge, a cleansing of pagan elements from the religious life of the nation. Keep Reading
Semper Reformanda
from Michael Horton Oct 16, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIf you've been in Protestant circles for very long, whether conservative or liberal, you may have heard the phrase "reformed and always reforming" or sometimes just "always reforming." I hear it a lot these days, especially from friends who want our Reformed churches to be more open to moving beyond the faith and practice that is confessed in our doctrinal standards. Even in Reformed circles of late, various movements have arisen that challenge these standards. Keep Reading
Obsolete Media Goes Global
from Marty Banzhaf Oct 14, 2009 Category: ArticlesLigonier media resources have a long history in their global outreach. It is a great joy for the ministry to be able to contribute hundreds of resources from obsolete inventory and find an inexpensive way of distribution. DVDs, CDs, and MP3s are the media formats of the twenty-first century, yet this technology does not extend worldwide. As globalization has provided new media technology, still old media equipment for VHS and audio cassettes exist en masse and are kept operational in both urban and rural areas of underdeveloped countries.

Teenage Rebellion
from Keith Mathison Oct 13, 2009 Category: ArticlesTolle Lege: Take Up and Read
Let's do a quick word association test. What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you see or hear the word teenager? Sadly, for many, the first words that come to mind are entirely negative. The word teenager brings to their mind other words such as lazy, apathetic, irresponsible, rude, know-it-all, and so on. Most people today have very low expectations for teenagers in general, and too many have low expectations for their own teenagers in particular. Teenagers themselves recognize these low expectations, and many live down to them -- sleeping in and sliding by. Not all teenagers, however, are so complacent. Keep Reading
To Whom Be the Glory?
from Robert Barnes Oct 12, 2009 Category: ArticlesPastor's Perspective
I'm a confessional Calvinist, but I have the nagging sense that God slipped up when he allowed me to pastor a church. A number of questions go through my mind as I consider God's decision to allow me to pastor at Dayspring Church (PCA). Is the church in such dire straits that I can actually be a help to her? Are things that bad? Or am I so ineffectual in my administration, my leadership, my influence, that I have not the will or ability to harm a church? Or perhaps, in the best of worlds, the postmillennial folks are right and the church, while gimpy, is steadily limping towards victory such that dragging one more weak pastor along will hardly slow her progress. But even that positive spin doesn't help me -- it still looks like I'm not up for the job. Keep Reading
Entering into Mystical Union
from R.C. Sproul Oct 11, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe Christian life is lived in the context of mystical union with Christ. This union finds its initial origin in eternity. Our salvation is from the foundation of the world, resting in the grace of God's sovereign election. Paul indicates this in Ephesians 1:3-6. Keep Reading
Climbing out of the Mire
from R.C. Sproul Oct 10, 2009 Category: ArticlesOur souls cannot climb out of the mire of sin because they are dead. Salvation comes not to those who cry out, "Show me the way to heaven," but to those who cry, "Take me there for I cannot." Keep Reading
Is the Church Full of Hypocrites?
from R.C. Sproul Oct 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesRight Now Counts Forever
About thirty years ago, my close friend and colleague, Archie Parrish, who at that time led the Evangelism Explosion (EE) program in Fort Lauderdale, came to me with a request. He indicated that on the thousands of evangelistic visits the EE teams made, they kept a record of responses people made to discussions of the gospel. They collated the most frequent questions and objections people raised about the Christian faith and grouped these inquiries or objections into the ten most frequently encountered. Dr. Parrish asked if I would write a book answering those objections for evangelists to use in their outreach. That effort resulted in my book Objections Answered, now called Reason to Believe. Among the top ten objections raised was the objection that the church is filled with hypocrites. At that point in time, Dr. D. James Kennedy responded to this objection by replying, "Well, there's always room for one more." He cautioned people that if they found a perfect church, they ought not to join it, since that would ruin it. Keep Reading
Interview With Dr. Steven Lawson About the Ligonier Academy D.Min. Program
from Keith Mathison Oct 06, 2009 Category: Ligonier AcademyLast July, Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies welcomed its inaugural class of D.Min. students. One of the first courses offered, on the subject of preaching, was taught by Dr. Steve Lawson. Dr. Lawson is the Senior Pastor of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama and the author of fourteen books, including Famine in the Land: A Passionate Call to Expository Preaching, Faith Under Fire, The Expository Genius of John Calvin, Foundations of Grace 1400 BC-AD 100 (volume one of a five-volume series), and three titles in the Holman Old Testament Commentary Series (Job, Psalms Volume I, and Psalms Volume II). Dr. Lawson was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about the Ligonier Academy Doctor of Ministry program. Keep Reading
