Don Wood

So sorry about your mom, and especially the way she was treated. She deserved much better. It irks me too that many doctors and staff have the attitude that if you have LC, you're terminal, so let's get on with preparing for the death. When my wife contracted pneumonia last August, there were staff who were ready to put her in hospice care. She showed them! I guess we have to continually educate these people and bring them into the 21st century. My heartfelt sympathies on your loss. Don

RATS! Prayers comin' on the success of the treatment. Don

Ah, perspective!

Prayers comin', Carlton.

I'm with those who say call the doctor. Chronic fatigue could be the medication or something else. I would not wait for 10 days. I would try to find something to interest him to get him out of this spiral. Don

Lulu, so sorry about your brother. I agree with you that the Iressa gave him some time. He is in my prayers. Don

One day at a time! Make the most of each. Don

Peg, you and Bill are so real to us. We feel like we have lost a long, close friend. My heart is breaking. Please stay in touch. My prayers are with you and family. Don

Yippy! Great!

NED! NED! Hooray! Hooray!

Shelly, I am glad you were able to express yourself to us and defuse the feeling. However, I also am concerned that you are in a deep depression. You need to take care of that soonest. We care about you! Don

Thanks for the update. Sounds like things are progressing. Don

Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Prayers for your mom. Don

Hurray for NED and for you!

I love it! Chuckle!

Katie and Rick, you are the best! Feel the love surround you. Don

Hang in there, because you are on the right track, and your dad needs that. Don

I'm too late to help this time, but we are also in the 100.5 club. Any fever that or over is a singal to call the onc right away. Also, if there is persistent pain anywhere, don't second guess, and call the doctor. Don

I don't have to go to Scotland to know that a Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt. Becky, what a sight you would see in those mirrors! Don

Welcome back, Cheryl. You were missed. Don

Words to live by.

Denise, prayers comin'. Don

Gals and guys, thanks so much for the great flow of good wishes. It has meant so much to LUcie, and to me. You're the best! Don

MO, I don't know if this fits for you, but Lucie always seems to have a down day after scans. Part of it is the physical ordeal of the scan taking; part is the anxiety building up to the test; and part is the relief of having the test over but still anxious about the results. We just take it in stride, unless it seems to be more than usual for her. Good luck. Don
