Welcome, Hawkeye. Sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. You'll get lots of support and knowledge here. Trish

My condolences. Trish

I'm adding my prayers for good news. Hang in there, Robin. Trish

So sorry about the job, Liz. I live and work in FL (an at will employment state) and know that in my company, before anyone is terminated for "job performance" reasons, much is done to lessen any chance of a lawsuit. For example, meetings between the employee, manager, and HR are held, everything is documented, signed by all parties, and copies are given to all parties. I would bet that your company is expecting you to take legal action and will have a settlement offer in place. Get a really good lawyer. You are probably in multiple protected classes. And your dirtbag former employers can go suck a duck. Hang in there. Trish

Welcome, Mike. You'll find lots of hope, encouragement and knowledge here. Keep us posted as your wife's treatment progresses. Trish

Happy Anniversary, Jaime, and I KNOW you'll enjoy the reunion. They're not just milestones anymore, are they -- they're actually triumphs that should be celebrated heartily. I'll have a drink in your honor tonight. Trish

What great news, Deanne! Praying the good news continues. Trish

Welcome, Valadi. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this again. We're here for you. Trish

What great news, Carol! Congratulations and here's to many, many more anniversaries to come. Trish

Hang in there, Rich. Sending prayers. Trish

I also had rad treatment to the hilar area. My esophagus took a beating at the end of treatment, and I needed an appetite stimulant and a liquid painkiller to be able to eat. A year and a half later everything is back to normal except that I can't drink carbonated beverages. Feels like a pinball game going on in my esophagus when I do. Oh well, water's better anyway. Good luck treatment. I'll send prayers for good results. Trish

Welcome, Alex. Trish

Great news for your mom, Leo; thanks for sharing. And good luck with your PhD. Trish

Welcome, Lilie. With your great attitude I'm sure you'll stay cancer-free for a long, long time. Look forward to reading more of your posts. Trish

Justice was served up big-time! I'm so happy for you, Aaron, and I know that you'll continue to be a positive influence in the lives of many. Take care of yourself while you're taking care of others. Trish

Excellent, Mike! I LOVE this news. Trish

I don't know anything about lupus (except that the singer Seal had it) but I will say lots of prayers for you and mom. Trish

Prayers for Len and MaryJo and hugs for you, Connie. Take care of yourself. Trish
