Andrea, Such a sweet little story. Amazingly enough my great grandmother's name was Bessie (short for Elizabeth) also. We were also very close although she passed when I was just a little girl. Through mentioning your grandmother, so many beautiful memories of mine came flooding back. Thank you!!! God Bless Bessie's and butterflies!! Jamie

Jennifer, So sorry about your dad.. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. God Bless!! Jamie

The first time I heard Jon play the sax (Polka Dots and Moonbeams) accompanied by the U of M jazz Ensemble, I knew he was the man for me!!!

And the verdict is: NED... Whew!!! For some reason, this scan was especially scary. This month is my 2 year anniversary post treatment and also 2 years of Tarceva. Thank you all for continuing to give me hope!! God Bless and Love ya!! Jamie

So glad you are here!!! Welcome!! Jamie

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage? His dad takes him into the forest - blindfolded - and leaves him. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not take off the blindfold until the ray of sun shines through it. He is all by himself. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience. Each lad must come into his own manhood. The boy was terrified. He could hear all kinds of noise. Beasts were all around him. Maybe even some human would hurt him. The wind blew the grass and and it shook his stump. But he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It was the only way he could be a man. Finally, after a horrific night, the sound of the night disappeared. He could feel the warmth of the sun. He removed his blindfold. It was then that he saw his father - sitting on the stump next to him - on watch the entire night. We are never alone. Even when we do not know it, our Father is protecting us. He is sitting on the stump beside us. All we have to do is take off our blindfolds.

Very interesting!!!

If it is radiation pneumonitus, has the doc prescribed steroids. I took them for about 6 months until all of those effects were gone. If the problem is from regular pneumonia, has he had a shot? I had one last year and it has worked very well. Hope this helps! J-me

I didn't have fatigue either. Wonder if it's still after-effect from chemo? God Bless!! Jme
