Ellen B.

Congratulations, Donna! Thank you for being here. It's a great help. Ellen.

very funny! Ellen.

Karen, this must be so difficult for you. I'm so sorry. Are you sure that this is really your Father's own wish? If so, isn't he able to tell you himself? Praying for you and your Dad, Ellen.

Connie, I don't have answers, but I am praying for you. Ellen.

Prayers for Rich. Ellen.

Prayers for Tony. Ellen.

I don't know exactly how to explain this in English, but I'll try. Henk loves to hunt. Last year, he couldn't hunt b/c of the treatments, but now he feels well enough to hunt. However, when shooting, his gun backfires (presses) against his left shoulder, at the exact place where the tumor is (or was?) located. I'm worried about the effect that the severe pressure will have on the tumor. Any thoughts about this? Ellen.

Tina, We are with you AND Charlie is, in spirit! Ellen.

Excellent! Ellen.

Cindi, this sounds okay but... how is the weather in Ohio? Is it cold in winter and warm in the summer? What is the country like, do you have mountains? Forgive me my ignorance, I haven't the faintest idea about Ohio. But I hope you will make a lot of new friends and be very happy there! Ellen.

Cindi, it's almost Tuesday over here! Where are you? Ellen.

Cindi, it's Monday in seven-and-a-half hour! At least over here.. So tell me then, okay? Ellen.

Paulette, how are you and Peter doing? Praying for both of you, Ellen.

Prayers for you, Mike and the children. Ellen.

Cindi, I hope all is well! Ellen.

Linda, I'm so sorry for your loss! Ellen.

Tammy, if your father really wants to know what is going on, he'll ask your sister. If he doesn't ask it, I think he doesn't want to know. Ellen.

Wow! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Ellen.

Prayers coming. Ellen.

She looks beautiful and healthy. Enjoy! Ellen.

Praying for Joanie. Ellen.

Congratulations Kasey! This is wonderful news. Hope that everything goes well with Fred's surgery. Ellen.

Hello Diane, I hope that you have been able to contact Kasey or MaryAnn for more info on treatments and good 2nd/3rd opinion docs. Like Rochelle said, it's important that your father didn't recieve too much radiation. Henk also has a IIIb pancoast tumor. The tumor had eaten a hole through(!!) 3 vertabrae! He was inoperable, even after chemo/radiation. At least, that's what his docs told him before the treatments. 2nd opinion docs told the same. However, after treatments, the team decided that Henk is operable BUT that surgery is still very risky and maybe even unnessary. They strongly advised against it and advised to 'wait and see'. So now we wait and see. Until now, Henk is doing well. So, don't despair if surgery isn't an option! Ellen.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I agree, he was an inspiration. Ellen.

Oh Don, I'm so very sorry to hear this. I don't know what to say. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Ellen.
