(((Carleen & Keith))) Don't know what to say other than I am so very sorry that you are going through this whole horrible ordeal. I really don't understand at all, why. Hopefully, there will be some understanding, peace, comfort, and strength for you very soon. May God have some mercy, please. Patty

Well, I took the test twice, cuz there wasn't a good answer for me for a most of the questions. Anyways, I will either be a RHINO or a GORILLA!! I don't want to be either of them. I think I want to be something that flies. Patty--the flying rhino/gorilla!?

Oh, (((Eppie)))...don't be so hard on yourself. What you did for your neighbor was wonderful. Yes, a speed bump would be good. Take Care, Patty

Please accept my sincere condolences and what a wonderful tribute you were able to give him while he was still here and afterward. Just beautiful. Take Care, Patty

Oh such great great news for you, Kasey! Good thoughts and prayers for Tracy and her family and for Fred. Patty

Wishing & praying for the best, now and always. Patty

Thanks Randy-I replied and also signed their petition. Patty

Hey DonnaG...then next week they will have the results of another study on the news saying that some secrets are better left KEPT!!!!! Patty

Wow, that's been my life!! It has just worsened with age. Guess, I shouldn't feel so bad about it. Thanks for sharing, Patty

I lost my Daddy in 1995 and I am crying right along with you, Patty

Hospice will hopefully be of great help. Don't be afraid to ask any of your MIL's health care people questions. They should be able to give you some better answers, although there is no one that can say exactly how long anyone has left. My dear MIL passed away from lc in 1996. I was so glad that we all had some time to say the things we needed to say to her, before she went. She was also only 61 yrs old. I still miss her very much. She was a very special person to everyone who knew and loved her. I know how very hard of a time this is and I am sending prayers and best wishes to help you all through this. Don't be afraid to talk to her and give her lots of love. It will be of great comfort to her and yourself. Take Care, Patty

You just go ahead and let it all out, because it hurts even worse if you don't. I am sending my best wishes and prayers to help you all through this very very sad and painful time. Leave nothing unspoken to your dear father. He will hear you and it will be of great comfort to him and to you, always. Take Care, Patty

I wish a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you all and I would like a tiny slice of everything...Patty

That is great news, Joanie!!! I wish you many many more, Patty

I want to thank you so much too! Patty

Hey Barb...Huge congratulations from one 52 yr old to another, just hope someday I can celebrate 6 yrs of NED too, and then you will be 11 yrs NED!!!!! Patty

Welcome to the both of you. Wish you the best. Patty

Welcome Rose, There are many of us here that feel exactly or very close to what you are feeling. I, too, started getting more anxious after my surgery & chemo, around the one year mark and before every check-up. That is about when I joined here and everyone has helped me immensely. No one seems to really understand as well as those that "walk" there too. Your feelings and fears are validated here. Yes, every ache & pain makes us worry and some of us can just "feel" the cancer actually spreading inside ourselves. I know that I felt better knowing that I wasn't just feeling sorry for myself or crazy when everyone told me how they felt also. Some people put into actual words, what you are feeling and that helps too. I am also on 2 anti-depressants and Xanax, and those help too. Stick with us, you'll be glad you did. Patty

Such great news! I wanna say well...duh...you politicians...like they are just noticing the sordid facts. Still it's great news. How do we all make more noise? Is there anything quick and easy we could do? Thanks so much Connie for pointing this article out. Patty

So very sorry and very sad. I wish you peace and comfort. Patty

I feel so horrible hearing about this. I know that there is no "sugar coating" this cruel disease and I don't know all your details...but what if her's is different than your father's and her body re-acts differently to treatment? What if they can put "it" into remission and keep her around longer (have you read about a lot of others on this board)? Did all the spots light up on the PET Scan? I was told that I had multiple spots all over at first...you can see on my profile. Maybe I am out of line saying all this, but like I said, I don't know the details, and what the doctors have said. Just know that I and all the rest of the people here, really care and always are hoping for the very best. Patty
