Dear Roseann and Family, I am so sorry to hear about our friend Gianni. He was a fighter, a friend, a truly brave man in his battle with this horrible disease. He now is in a better place, with no pain, and he wants you to remember the good times you had together. I will keep him in my prayers always. Please know my prayers are with you. God love you all. Joanie

This sounds like great news to me. Shrinkin' stuff is GOOD NEWS. ICE CREAM is good news, too! Try Edys Expresso Chip - it is yummmmmyyy! So glad for you! Joanie

Even though you tell yourself "it's just statistics" you still know that you doctor told you you have 2-3 years before you're out of the woods. the statistics give me 5 years. what i'm i supposed to do? 5 years isn't much time, is it? especially when you're only 50 and you can remember things when you were about 3 years old. so many things are happening to me now and most of them are bad. i'm very sad tonight. sorry. sometimes i wonder why should i wait aroung waiting for 5 years. if anyone read my post about losing friends - well , they're still LOST. i wish they were different people. i wish i were different people. oh well.......

Dear Rana, Praying for Mom and you. Hugs, kisses, God hears you. Joanie

Dear Sophie, Please tell dad i'm praying for him. He's gonna feel better soon. Smile, ok? Joanie

Dear Sam, Praying for you to feel better soon. Smile requested thank you Joanie

Dear Bengel, Happy for you. Your post made me smile - Question, though, I have small cell limited. I was told by dr. that sclc was diagnosed by limited and extensive, not by numbers, so i'm a bit confused. ?????? Joanie

OK DON AND LUCIE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad! Joanie

Please give a hug to Chris for me. I'm praying for you both. Joanie

Roseanne, Praying hard for you and Gianni and your family. Joanie

Dear Anne, Wonderful news about your mom's results! Celebrate! Joanie

Dear Carleen, You and Keith are going thru so much right now. But it WILL get better. I had chemo and radiation at the beginning, with radiation ending after 32 treatments. I had that esophogitis and i had drops to use before i ate which kind of helped. Steer clear of acid based foods, like tomatoes, tomato sauce, orange juice or orange ices. Try ice cream as that soothes things abit. Also nothing spicy, just plain things. We'll be praying for you both. Don't give up it gets worse and then it gets better. Joanie

Shellimacs, That is very GOOD NEWS for you and Mom. I know how upset you were waiting for results. So glad for you. Joanie

Hooray Marlon, some GOOD NEWS for you and Mom for a change. I don't know about ports, maybe someone else can help you with that. But had to root for your good news! Joanie

Dear Janet, I know it's easy for me to say "don't worry" but really if you worry ahead of time, and it turns out to be nothing, then you've wasted all that time being worried! I tell myself this all the time - sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't But try it anyhow, ok? and let us know how you're doing. Joanie

Dear Marlon, From reading your story it is very apparent that you are a very supportive, loving son who cares tremendously about his family. You have done so, so much for them. Now you should do something for you. You are very young and have your whole life ahead of you. A few years from now, this will not seem so difficult, but i know it is for you right now. Maybe a counselor could help you sort out the difficulties (financial, step problems, mom's illness) so you could work on each piece one at a time. Also, remember, you need to take some time for yourself. I am a Mom and I know i wouldn't want my daughter (23) to be so upset about so much. Parents want their children to form their own lives and, of course, still be there for them, but primarily, to be HAPPY. Please keep us posted and let us know what you decide. We care here, ya know! Joanie

Dear Don and Lucie, I'm so sad to hear of your problems - why, why? You are such strong people and have been through so much together. Please try and rest your bodies and minds and know that my prayers and positive thoughts are on the way. Joanie

Dear Cindy, Wishing your treatments go well this time. Let us know how you're doing - in the GOOD NEWS FORUM, please! Joanie

Dear Kathy&Tim, Sounds like you have a wonderful dr. who's on top of this. That is great. Also, that you have good insurance is positive. I'll keep you in my prayers. Joanie

Dear Dave, What a happy, good post! It's nice to see you're doing so well. A new lab puppy will keep you MUCHO BUSY! What's his name? Give him a pat and hug from me, ok? I Love DOGS. Joanie

Dear Cindy, So glad you and Hugh had a good weekend for a change. You certainly deserve it! Fishin' and Fireworks and bbq's sure sound good to me! I hope your good times continue and continue and continue some more. Joanie

Very Clever! Joanie

Seriously re-think your position. NO ONE should be abused NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON.What do you want from life? You only have one life and you deserve to have a good one. Think and pray. Joanie

TERRIFIC RAY, Keep up the good work! Joanie

Dear Jenny, So glad to here it's behind you. Now you have PLANS - GO FOR IT!!!!! Hope you feel well! ENJOY! Joanie
