    You are not only on the cancer roller coaster you are on your wedding rollercoaster, I don't see how you are staying sane. Get a goofy hat and SLOW DOWN. I know easier said that done. My prayers are with you and your family.

    Cheri, miracles happen everyday. There are numerous folks here fighting the exact same. If you did a lot of reading then I hope you dide not get caught up in the statistics, they are outdated and do not apply to anyone especially not your father. Be aggressive and please know that we are all here for you and your father.

    PS don't let my hat scare you off!!

    chemo Questions

    Mo is right, everyone reacts differently to chemo. I did not start feeling the effects until after my 2nd round and then the side effects really kicked in after the 3rd round. Mainly severe fatigue was my problem. Radiation at the same time as chemo only adds to the fatigue. I never had any problems with my throat but the doc gave me some stuff in case I did. I would ask your doc to give you some medication. Tell your mom we are all rooting for her.

    Hi, Shannon,

    I'm glad to see you again. I think Mike's death was one of the first ones on this board after we joined, and as a spouse, it hit me hard. I'm so happy to see how well you are doing, and I know Mike is proud of the way you are carrying on with life and enjoying your family so much.

    Welcome back, and stay in touch!

    God Bless,

    Karen C.

    OK, Dave - what up with the new crazy photo? Now I KNOW you're getting too bored at home! :oops::twisted:

    All my Love,

    Karen C.

    (p.s. this is Dave wearing a hat that a good friend of ours made for him. She had lost her big brother to lung cancer the year before Dave was diagnosed. It's a fishing hat adorned with flowers (so he can wear it to church) and lots of orange yarn hair, for when he lost his hair).

    Hey, I figure you women should not be the only ones that get to wear wigs!!! This hat was given to me from a good friend who had lost her brother to cancer recently, She has been great support to me throughout my ordeal and makes an awesome Rum Cake in addition to silly hats.

    Good news indeed!! Gotta love Wal-Mart. I spent many days there during my treatments just wondering around, mainly to get out and get a little exercise. Bethany is a beautiful girl, aren't they all Daqddies Girl? I know mine is.

    PS.-I lived in Vernon TX until I was 8 years old and remember going to the big city of Wichita Falls a few times. Small world.
