Okay Tann Girl, Way to go.... that is great news. Time for a trip to Cindi's pub for a round for the house. Take care, Maryanne

Hi Don and Lucie, Your pic is real nice. It's nice to see you guys, and get to know who we are conversing with. One of these days I will post a pic of Joel and me. Maybe we can have a link that we can put pics in for others to view. You know, kids, grandkids, animals etc. Whatever..... Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the pic is nice and I hope Lucie is doing well. Maryanne

Hi tina, That pig joke was so funny, I past it on to my email friends and family. Thanks for that..... funny....30 minutes huh.... hmmmmmm Maryanne

Hi Beth, ' Good to hear from you, you sound up and you are back in your funny mode. Missed that, glad you are back!! I hope your throat feels better soon, so you can get to the kids favorite restaurant and get out of the house. I hope the Chemo is going good and not giving you too many side effects. Take care, I am sure you will keep us posted. Maryanne

Hi Sharyn, What a relief, you can now kick back and go about your business without a worry. It feels so good to get good news. Maryanne

Ginny, So many wonderful postings from all your friends. You certainly made quite an impression here. I have only been here since Januaryand you have been caring, inspiring, whitty along with possessing a great personality. You touched many people's lives in helping heal their fears. There is something special about you and I thank you for that. My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. I had no idea it was only 6 months ago. I can't imagine my life without my man. When you lose your soulmate, you feel like a lost soul. But your mate is still there, they always will be. They just gave up their diseased, sick, painful, and fatigued physical bodies but the soul lives on. It lives on in the memories you shared in your lifetime together, however long or brief. My belief is when a sick soul leaves the physical body that person is flying high and whooping it up because the physical suffering is over, it is over all that pain is gone. They are free as a bird. It is us who are left to grieve. Everybody goes through the initial grieving process time. But, in time, you should let go, so your love one can move on and not worry so much about you. They will always be near if you need them. They will hear you through prayer or meditation. And, most importantly will be there to greet you when its time for you to cross over to help you make the transition. At that time you become soulmates again through-out eternity. You can even make yourselves, see each other through younger eyes, when you were both young and so alive. I know it will be a beautiful experience. All your relatives will be there to greet you, not just your love, but your mom, dad, sister, brother, good friend. Hey you can all get together and go to Cindi's pub, which will probably be owned by her grandchildren by then. ...sorry had to put a little humor in there. Meanwhile, life goes on and you have to deal with all of life's stresses by yourself. You don't have your sounding board, your rock, your mentor, your lover. your best friend Please know even though you are feeling this way now there are many new memories to be made, be it with family, friends or new acquaintinces. You are alive, you are living. Cherish it... we know how fast it could be taken away. Ginny I did not know that you were moving. Missed that somewhere along the line. So many postings sometimes its just so hard to keep up. But I am glad I did not miss this one. I wish you peace of mind and all the best wishes I could give goes out to you and everyone here who has lost a love one Maryanne

Hi Summer, Thanks for coming out and sharing your partners bio with us. Sorry about what your partner and you are going through, but it certainly looks like he is doing fine. Just keep that positive attitude up and it could move mountains. Its been proven here time and time again. Welcome, post here anytime, we are all here to help each other to get through difficult times and to share good news. Maryanne

I hope things get better for you TraciAnn Hang in there, things will turn around for the better. You are invited to go to Fays pitty party, which is posted under General. Maryanne

Welcome Back. of course you are going to tell us how everything went. We need more good news. Maryanne

Okay, since I am a caregiver, can I come and pity all of you just for a night. Monday its back to positive thinking!! I hope I can come, I will bring, let me see, ummmm how about Chocolate Chip cheese cake..... and capachino coffee!!!! I promise I will pity you all.... let me come please!!!! Maryanne xxxxxxxo

Welcome Patti, sorry you had to come here, but it is the best place for information and support. Everyone here is either a victim or a caregiver. I would say a second opinion is always an option. I personally do not know about west Fla. being from the East but there are many people here who can help you. Also, let your mom know that statistics do not mean anything. As you read posts on this website you will see how many people have beaten the statistics. If she is not a candidate for Chemo, then there is always clinical trials. Take care Maryanne

Oh Cathy you are so brave. You are going through so much, that I feel this will all work out for you. Keep us posted as to your progress. Hang in there, your plate is so full. Thinking of you and sending meditation healing. Maryanne

Berisa, Thank you for sharing that. What was a beautiful answer for you. That should give you and your sister peace. Of course you do not have to be a Christian to go to heaven. I am Jewish and I know that is where I will go. I may not belive in Jesus (as a savior) but I definitely believe in G-d in heaven. And he is the one I have to answer too. Take care Barisa and know that he is happy and in a better place. Maryanne

Nell, It is so hard at times like this to find the right words to say. But the important thing is that he is surrounded by all that love and that he is comfortable. My prayers go out to you all. What a wonderful friend you are. Peace be with you. Maryanne

Hi David, So sorry to hear your bad news. But have a good time at the circus. Sending meditation prayers your way. Maryanne

Thanks Ellen for the updat on Len, could not have been better news. This will be such a great weekend for you guys, with your family. Cindi's bar is always open, 24 hours, bring your family and enjoy every minute. Make some great memories. take care, wonderful, wonderful news !!!!! Maryanne

Hey Addie, Hang in there girl! I feel this is going to work for you. Those little cells have no idea what they are in for.... Kick A-- girl. Cindi's Bar is always open, never closes so that sounds good to me. We all deserve to go there at some time to just have a good time, to just forget and feel normal again. And put a good one on at the same time. hic cup... I will save a seat for you as you will be there with good news. I will be the designated driver. Good luck, meditation healing being sent to you. Maryanne

Hi Beth, If that person really did mean to slap bi--- you back to reality, then he or she really should have had more compassion for your feelings. I am so sorry,you did not need that on top of everything else right now. You are fighting we all know that because that is who you are. You are a survivor, most of you are here. Anyone of us including PM (if that person was in your shoes) would initially be as upset or even more upset than you were when they are fighting for their life, going through all those grauling treatments and thinking you are doing well, then boom, here you go again, da-- to put it mildly. Its devestating, and Beth, you handled it so exceptionally well considering the shocking news. I know I could not handle it half as well as you. We are only human. We as human beings all have feelings inside . I don't care who you are those feelings at first, is misbelief, lashing out , remorse along with so many other feelings. But then you pick yourself up, brush yourself off put on those boxing gloves and come out fighting. But that is what you are doing. Please know that this person, (who may have meant to shock you back into fighting), apparantly, did not read all your posts. As you have been in that ring fighting for awhile now. Don't let one person make you lose a nights sleep. There are too many in your life who care and pray for you. That sould make you sleep well at night. Good night my online friend.... rest easy you are not alone. Maryanne

Wow that is really great news!! Just one question, as I am new to this. What is BAC? Maryanne

Wow Kathy, You had this chemo over a year ago and your taste buds are still squashed. What kind of Chemo did you have? Poor girl, I bet you don't have a weight problem. Maryanne

Hi Lisa, My husband had one done and did not feel any pain. They gave him a chest Xray afterward to make sure a lung did not collapse. It didn't and he went home. Was a little sore for a day but that was it. Good luck, And Don good luck with yours too, let us know the results. Maryanne

So sorry about the loss of your sister. I know how close sisters can be and the special bonds they have for each other. Always remember those special times you had together. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Maryanne

Oh Margaret, so sorry to hear about Jim. He will always be watching over you. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Maryanne

Thinking of you Melanie and sending healing vibes your way. Good luck, Maryanne
