[Last Nites Chat]

It was a great chat last night. Trust me Kasey, we all make the typing mistakes, but I have learned the

brain can figure out what was typed when others are

reading the text. So chat away. Pati I have never had the "blue dot"

1 and it's Alan's

[Miss Ella Hunting Eggs.....]

Ann,

Ella is just too cute

[Getting to know you - March 24]

As I once worked at a grocery store and Chased down

all those carts, I return. It is frustating though that more return areas are not provided.

[I made it home]

Geri,

I am very very happy you are home. NO is a complete

sentence, and takes a strong person to use that sentence.

I admire your strength.

Happy Easter to you and your family.

[Democrat....Republican....or Redneck???]

I am a Redneck

[Getting to Know You - March 21]

Here in So. Cal we relish the times it is not bumper

to bumper traffic, so when I can I go as fast as I can (without getting caught )

[Getting to Know You - March 20]

I could do alot of good with a million dollars. wouldn't even keep much for myself.

Stuff is just stuff. I can make new memories. So show me the money.

[another update from Suki]

Bunny,

This is great news about Suki.

I love the picture of your little guy all dressed up

in his Irish attire. He is just too cute

[How to Use Your Tax Rebate - LOL - Gotta read this one !!!]

Mine will pay medical expenses.

[Getting to Know You - March 19]

I pay $3.69 for regular unleaded, have done nothing

to conserve, in fact with all Alan's recent appointments driving more than ever.

[Getting to Know You - March 18]

Depends on where you live. No recession where I live

Can't find a parking place at the mall, no seating in

a resturant, and Golf courses are full.

So status quo for where I am at.

[Dancing With The Stars ...Yoo-Hoo...GinnyD]

Is that the same thing as March Maddness.

That's the Big Dance which starts tomorrow. Remember to fill out your brackets.

[Garage Sales - Love 'Em or Hate 'Em ?]

My idea off a garage sale is leaving my junk by the

dumpster, someone will always come by and take the "junk"

Much easier process with the same result. I have rid

myself of the JUNK

[If.....]

(((Ann)))

Thinking of you even more than I normally do.

[Is topotecan working for my step-dad? We'll find out today.]

Prayers that Topotecan is working. Please keep us posted on scan results

[And two years later...]

Jen,

This is a great post. I love reading about those with

SCLC that contiue to live their lives and give hope to those newly diagnosed.

I think we all live with our quiet fears, but that is

the nature of our beast, the best we can do is not

let the fear control how we live our lives.

Continued blessing to you and your family

[I'm getting closer to the door.........]

Geri,

it was good the see you post, and even better news that

you should be going home soon. A perfect

Easter Gift

[Finished Chemo]

Bruce,

I was thinking about you yesterday and wondering how

your last treatment went. Glad to hear it is over, and pray your scans

show excellent response.

[Kasey & Fred is the PUB OPEN??]

I am ready for a cocktail of any kind.

My national holiday is on Monday and us Irish don't really need

a reason to tip a few back

Raising my glass to all who had good news

[Getting to Know You - March 12]

I think I would want to read peoples minds. To know

exactly what they were thinking. Even though you could hear people talking

while being invisable, you still would not know if they were speaking the truth.

wouldn't reading minds be so very helpfull during an Election year

[scan results]

Ernie,

I pray this new treatment will be successful. Hope

having your lung tapped will help with SOB. Alan has

his tapped just yesterday and he tolerated the proceedure well.

Continued prayers for you and your family.

[Alan's Dr. Appointment]

Alan had a long appointment with Dr. this afternoon.

1st as Alan's recurrent cancer is now stable and the

fact he has such a tough time with chemo, chemo has

been stopped for now. Alan's Dr. does not see benefit

in putting Alan through more chemo at this time.

I believe his weight of 134 is also a factor

Alan's Dr. does want his lung tapped for the pleura

effusion asap, by the end of the week if possibe, but

with insurance red tape may be 1st of next week. The

cells will be tested and depending on what is found

will determine the next course of action. At least

Alan should start to feel better with all the fluid

out of his lung.

The "new spot" on is chest wall will be montitored for now.

So exactly as the scans showed, a mixed bag of results.

I will update once Alan has his lung tapped and all

the cytology reports are in.

[Getting to Know You - March 11]

Nope, I have some very interesting conversation with

myself even with other people around. Quinn is

always listening to me ramble, then she just yawns

and heads to her scratching post. And trust me the

players can hear me when I am screaming at them through the T.V.

[Brief update on Geri]

Many positive thoughts and prayers are headed Geri's way.
