Katie; I remember feeling exactly the same way after my dad passed away. For the longest time, everything I did, everywhere I went, everyone I saw, there was always something there that reminded me of my dad. There were times when I could swear I saw him on the street or in stores but obviously it was always someone that looked like him. I was just numb & dazed for the longest time, it always amazed me how the rest of the world could just keep going on around me after he died, I'm not sure what I expected to happen but it definitly wasn't that. I was in my own world for the longest time....so weird, so different. As impossible as it seems right now, you do get through it, its tough, but you will get through this, just take 1 day at a time and hang in there. My heart goes out to you....Take care Chris

What a beautiful tribute to your daughter. Such devasting news its just so tragic. I am so sorry for your loss Chris

Sounds like a great plan to me!! So happy to hear the good news. Keep up the great work David!! Chris

Wishing you luck!!!!! Although we know it has nothing to do with luck, but strength & determination, & thats something you have alot of!!!Go kick butt, I'll be thinking about you!!!!!!YOU DA MAN DAVID P!!!!!

Actually yes she did have a CT scan, thats what I meant by "he said everything looked good", meaning results, test, reports etc...Thanks for your concern though, it is well taken & appreciated. ********************************************************* AN AFTER THOUGHT: After looking over my original post it almost appears to me like I was "gloating", for lack of a better word. I apologize if that's the way it appears because that was never ever my intent. It's just nice to finally receive some good news after these last few months, especially this month alot of other things happened....I'm sure most of you can relate...Unfortunately life & all its other problems don't bypass you because you've already got this to deal with..Take care & God bless all of you!! Chris

THANK GOD!!!! I just talked to my Mom, she went for a check up with her onc, he said everything looks good, chest sounds clear & she goes back again in a couple of months for a check up.....He did give her something to take for her low energy level thats she's been having lately.....She sounded so good, so relieved on the phone, I just wish I could've been there with her(My other 3 sisters went with her, I leave for holidays Friday so needless to say I'm stuck at work trying to get everything done)...What a big relief, it just felt so good to hear some happiness in her voice again, just like the old days...Thanks so much for all your prayers guys, it sure helped. Well time to go back to work! Chris

Cathy; I am so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your father. Try and take comfort knowing that he is no longer suffering and in pain. Hold your memories of your father close to your heart and he will always be with you. May you and your family find peace and comfort at this difficult time. Chris

Shelly; I am so very very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Like the others, I am also at a loss for words. How I truly HATE this damned disease!!! Please take care Chris

I'm so sorry, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you on the loss of your father...He fought a good long & hard fight...Take care of yourself. Chris

Hi Wenna; I'll be thinking of you & including you in my prayers as well. Hang in there girl, you'll be just fine!!! Take care & most importantly, as hoaky as it sounds, THINK POSITIVE!!! Chris

Maybe try something warm...tea with lemon & honey? Milk might be a little too thick(not quite the word I was looking for but I can't think straight right at this moment), it might aggravate the situation even more.

Thanks guys, one can always use extra prayers...I really do appreciate it very much. Chris

My mom went in today to start her 6th & final round of chemo, thankfully her blood work came back okay & they were able to proceed with day 1 of 3....However, she had never mentioned this to me before, but apparently shes been having some pretty bad pains in her back & down her leg for the last little while. Thankfully she mentioned this to her onc today & he's sending her in for a bone scan on Tuesday the 22nd. I'm just hoping & praying that it hasn't spread & maybe its the fibromialga(sp??) thats causing her pain, the lesser of two evils I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed until then I suppose!!

David P; You don't need a cape to get through anything....You had the cape(and obviously still do) along time ago!!!You are truly an inspiration to everyone...Keep up the hard work & the great fight. You da man David P, you da man!!!! Chris

I was so shocked to wake up this morning & read this post. I am so saddened by the news, my heart just breaks for you Shannon. Please accept my sincerest condolences. I just don't know what to say. Please take care of yourself.
