Our hopes mirror yours, dear. Thank you for the update. Brian says he identifies closely w/ the 'scrutiny' that accompanies any new twinge. He loves knowing he is not alone..........

We love you and are waiting w/ you.

Thank you, MaryAnn

It is heartwarming to know she has such a loving family and a cacoon of love to rest in for now.

[I'm The One With The Headache]

Crapt, Fay,

Where do these folks come from.................?

My personal gripe is relative to those who wait till Brian is out of earshot and then say things like:

"How is Brian feeling?"

"Poor Brian"

"He looks pretty good"

"What are the doctors saying?"

"When will that rash go away?"

"How is Brian telling his girls?"

and on and on and on

Like he can no longer think, act or speak for himself. I refuse to allow him to be negated.

I can't imagine what it would be like to be Brian and to have the notion (correctly) that folks are whispering behind his back. I refuse to be a part of it. I think his diagnosis is traumatic enough without allowing insensitive people to add to his load.

Sorry this happened Fay..............it is just plain wrong.

We are with you.

Pat and Brian

[Seventeen Years Ago Today...]

Wow, Ry, what an uplifting post.

Life IS wonderful.

Tyler, happy happy happy arrival day.

What a gift you are to all of us.

Sincerely,

P and B

[UPDATED: Plan in place now re I'm a nervous wreck . . .]

I can't stand knowing that you feel this way and not being there to hug you.

I can't stand to think of you having a sleepless night.

I can't stand to know you are scared like I am scared.

What I CAN do is pray and pray and pray and make sure you know how much we care.

Lots of love and support

Pat and Brian

[Having a Day...]

More hugs coming, Val. Ease up on yourself. You are doing great.

Maybe your mom just is so sad that food doesn't look good to her right now, that she is blaming the 'food' instead of the disease...........

I am so sorry for your tears, honey.

Holding you closely in prayer.

Pat and Brian

[I am a newbie here]

Sandie, Welcome. We are so sad to learn of another person facing this journey.

We are all here for you.

Brian is also on Tarceva. Perhaps it is the magic bullet............seems a lot of us are using that med right now.

Glad you found us, sorry you had the need to do so.

Pat and Brian

[Need HELP with my father ...]

Welcome, we have no help to offer, just prayers and support for your father.

Best

Brian and Pat

[Coming off Steroids-Increased Pain]

Hi, A,

we have nothing to offer relative to steroids, but wanted to welcome you warmly.

Pat and Brian

[I am new to this]

Hi, Shar!, welcome.

Brian just started on Tarceva on 6/24. (His rash is a bit unnerving .........rather pronounced and sore looking.) We are pleased to hear of your good response to the med. We are praying for the same.

This is a great place for support and encouragement.

We look forward to getting to know you better.

Pat and Bri

[finished chemo]

YAY, Don, please pass us a piece of your cake.

Take a break and enjoy your cancer free status.

Blessings!

Pat and Bri.

[An update on Cathyr]

Thank you, Ry.

You are a good friend to all of us.

[Its Scan Time. Oh My]
