Thanks Amy...I think talking about all of our personal fights to Cancer is good for all involved......we can learn from others mistakes. Hindsight is always 20/20..
Thanks again

Don, I'm so glad to hear your Dad came through surgery well. That is a huge step alone. Please keep us up to date on his progress, I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Great News!

Dyno,
I've been reading about your Father's struggles the last few days and you have really been on my mind!!

I lost my Mother to cancer five years ago (this November) at the age of 59. She was my role model! I'd tell her how I would pray that God would allow me to be half the woman and Mother she was! Even though I have a way to go, I know because of her beliefs and trust in God, the values she taught me, and the love she showed me I will eventually become that woman and Mother that mean so much to me! It hurts to know that I can't pick up the phone and call her or go shopping with her!

But, I can live with it because I know WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that she's in a much better place and she's not suffering anymore!

I'm glad that you have that second chance with your Father! Please, don't take it for granted! And, remember to tell your other family members you love them, too! It also wouldn't be a bad idea to take up your friends (like Chris & MitchStellin) on their offers to help out...you'll need it!

Sorry for going on and on! Just remember I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

a quick update...Dads sugery went well got all the tissue they needed for diagnosis and removed his Galbladder that was enlaged this should give him some relief from the intense back pain.They put in a subqutanious shunt yesterday to anminister chemo without having to get a vain all the time.He can come home the first of the week and start chemo as soon as Thursday. Things are moving along now thank God!!Pray for his doctors and for his healing...we're going to need it. Looks like he will have 15-18 weeks of treatment so by spring things should be lookin up!!!
Thanks again for your well wishes and prayers!

Don, I am so glad that you ask us to Hug our fathers today. I do it everytime I see him, and I started 10 years ago, I am now 32.

Dyno, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad and your family. I hadn't hugged my Dad in years, and now I do it every time I see him. Like Lance Armstrong's new book says - Every Second Counts!
