So sorry for your loss, Dee. Glad you could all be together in the end. Don

My prayers are with you and your dad, Berisa. Don

My prayers are with you and your mom, Hope. Thanks for letting us know.

It is a shock that she went so fast. Thanks for letting us know, and my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. Don

Hi, Karen, and welcome! Take your time. Don

Prayers comin' for JudyB.

As I see it, we have a choice -- we can choose to worry about every little thing and ruin whatever time we have or we can choose to enjoy what time we have, no matter what comes up. Also, Lucie and I play the mountain/molehill game. When something comes up, we decide if it is a mountain or a molehill (of course, down the line, with more info, one can change one's mind). If it is a normal every day life occurrence, we call it a molehill and treat it as such. If it is life threatening, then it is a mountain and we take steps to make it a molehill. Easy? No. But it gets easlier with practice. Don

Leslie, so sorry to hear your mom has passed. My sincerest sympathies. Don

What strikes me, Beth, is: What does your husband want to do? He's the patient. Don

I saw the movie today -- W O W !!! Powrful. I did not have dry eyes when coming out of the theater. I was overwhelmed with the very grateful feeling of how much the Lord endured -- for me! Taking holy communion and celebrating Easter are two events that I will now experience at a deeper level from now on. Thanks for the recommendation. Don

Candee, thanks for the wink, the kiss and the good news. Good to hear. Don

Berisa, prayers comin'.

Carolyn, I'm hoping the Iressa works again for Jim. Thanks for the update. Don

I think the news is great!

Bet, so sorry you had a bout in the hospital, but glad you got that behind you and your reports are so great! Take care. Don

Sounds great, Dave. You are quite a trooper. Don

Thanks for the update, Becky. I agree that you have a great pulmonologist. So does Lucie. We are very fortunate that we have a great onc as well as a great pulm. Best to you. Don

Welcome, Billie. Glad you are here and participating. My daughter spent a year in Minneapolis (1992-93) as an intern at the U. of Minn. vet school. We made a trip up there during that Thanksgiving. She is now practicing veterinary in the Houston area. The internship has been invaluable to her. Please let us here know how we may help and support you. Don

Amazing! Congratulations! Celebrate!

I did Meals on Wheels for about 10 years and retired from it about a year and a half ago. My former partner called me and asked if I would take his partner's place on Wednesday as he was not available. I went and had a great time bringing meals to shut-in folks. Lucie and I went out to eat that night. Good day. Yes, we all wore green! Don

Andrea, comments like that have a deeper meaning, like she and her husband are obviously having problems. I know we are all sensitive to cancer, but I also think we should do exactly what you did and share our knowledge. As far as I am concerned, you were right on target with that lady. Too many people whisk through life and don't do the things they really want to do -- always thinking there will be time. We know better -- and I think part of our responsibility is to make people aware. Don

Paddy, so sorry to hear the downturn. Lucie had six rounds of taxotere with carboplatin, and it seemed to work for her. Taxotere is a meany == lots of side effects usually -- but if it works, it is worth it in our book. Don

Thanks, Nell. Great pic!

SUPERB!!!!!

Kel, your dad has been through a lot in a short time. Obviously, he is a fighter. My prayers are with you all. Don
