Jackie, I love today's quote.
Mark Twain, (aka Samuel Clemmon's), is my G-G-G+ cousin somewhere in my ancestory, so he's always been a favorite of mine.
Today I'm grateful for a couple of very special ladies that I met here on the Board. They've shown me that they are true friends.

I spoke with Liz13 about a week and a half ago. She was still in the hospital, and didn't have her Laptop with her.
Prays for you , Liz.
Harry isn't feeling very well at the moment. His Mom passed away, so he flew to Louisiana for her service.
The trip wore him out.
He has one more CPT-11 to do this Tuesday, then will have a CT scan on the 18th. Hoping for better results then last time.
Take care, Everyone.

Thank you Jackie.
I appreciate you.

Thank you all for posting your thoughts and beliefs.
I guess I'm just going over a speed bump right now.
It's an old habit with me, that when I see anything beautiful, (beautiful to me anyway), that I automatically say; "Thank you for sharing that with me, Lord"!
Like Laurie, the things that sometimes take my breath away, are the wild birds at the feeder, the big cranes that come to steal fish out of my pond, a mushroom in the yard that makes me think that Fairies absolutely have to live under it,
, an unexpected hug from one of my grandbabie's, etc.There are so many GOOD things. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
Thank you, everyone.

I find myself saying little prayers all day long. Sometimes just "one liners", or when a person pops into my head, I ask the Lord to watch over them, things like that.
When Harry first got dx'd, I prayed he would be cured. When that didn't happen, I prayed for more time. Then I prayed he wouldn't be so sick from the chemo, then I prayed that whatever chemo he was on at the time, would at least "contain" the cancer to one area, etc., etc.
Then I started getting frustrated, and started praying for more of my prayers to be answered!
I've often wondered what the best prayer is?.... I hate to say "Lord, Your Will be Done", because if it's his will to take Harry away from me for some unknown reason,I'll be darned if I'm going to pray that! Nope, nope, and absolutely not.
Just wondered what you guys think about it?
Ever find yourself outright begging for things? (I do!) I wasn't raised that way though. I was taught that the Lord is a loving God, not someone you have to beg and plead things to, over and over.
Just curious about your thoughts.
Take care All,
Nova

I've been thinking about you today. Made my heart ache.
Sounds as if Bill managed to get a good long distance company in Heaven, to let you know how much he loves you .
You guys were a very special couple.
Thanks for sharing with us.

I wonder how long it will take for them to get going with that?
I wish they would hurry.....
It almost sounds like the same treatment that the Burzinsky (sp?) clinic, in Texas offers. If so, there aren't as many bad side effects, because it's made with your own DNA/Cells. (You can tell I'm not a doctor).
Thanks for the article.

Hoping you feel better soon. Wish I could make you some home made chicken soup.

I'm very worried about her.
The last time she emailed me, she was in the hospital with too much fluid around her heart and lungs.... I haven't heard from her since, even though I've emailed.
I've lost/misplaced her cell phone number.
If anyone has any news, I'd appreciate hearing it.
Thanks.

Thank you for the quote, Jackie. It's another good one that I'll copy.
I'm thankful today for Harry's Birthday, and that he feels well enough to have a little party tonight, with the family. It's a blessing!
-
Debbie,
I'll be keeping you and Alan in my prayers, for sure.
He and Harry seem to be going thru such similar situations, with the reactions to the chemo drugs, etc.
Hoping that Alan has a quick "bounce back", as Harry calls the episode's when he starts feeling better, after feeling so lousy.
-
Thank you for asking about me too.
Things have been in a whirlwind here also.
First Hospice was coming, now they aren't....
Harry wants to keep getting chemo, and in the County that the cancer center is in, you are allowed to receive chemo and Hospice at the same time. In our County, (right next door), you aren't, so Harry opted to keep trying to at least "control" the cancer, as opposed to giving up hope. (That's my hubby, and I applaud him!).
My "head" has been in a bit of a mess though...When that many things happen at once, it's hard to stay "calm".
Thank you for thinking about us.
Hope you're all doing okay.

I have a soft spot for "Jacob's", since I have one myself.
My cousin's little grandson was going thru this. He managed to stay on the height chart "barely", but his weight was way under. They did all sorts of tests, and he was fine. His official diagnosis, was that he was "Built like a String Bean"!
He's over a year old now, and has caught up so much, that he's off the charts on the height~ but still a little thin!
Saying prayers for little Jacob. Sounds as if he's very active, which is an excellent thing for a little boy to be!
-
That's a hard one!
I guess I'd pick sweets though.
Big Car/Suv or small gas-saver?
-
I would cheat, and delete little bits of each year, here and there.
-
If you count "Take-Out", then I'm going out to dinner.
I predict the next person dyes their hair ~~ at least the roots.
-
Add my prayers to the other's, and please let us know how things go.

Doggone it....
Three months of waiting is about 2-3/4's months too long.
Maybe you can wait a few weeks, then call them back and ask if you can go ahead and have the next CT scan...(Unless they think it will take that long for it to dissolve and go away)?
I'm sorry you're having to go thru this. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff...teetering...
I'll keep you in my prayers, and think only of the excellent results you'll get in April.

For some "stinkin'" reason, it says I'm from the South....
Dadgummit... it's probably because of the time I admitted to eatin' possum ~(without the "o" in front), and gator meat....
That was fun, thanks.
(I still like to hear Harry and Nyka say "sneakers", instead of tennis shoes!
) -
Grateful for our "back to normal 80 degree weather". I don't like being cold!
Grateful that Harry is trying his first dose of Cpt11 today. Praying it works without making him sick.
Jackie, where do you find all of the little "wise words of wisdom" that you post? I absolutely LOVE the one you have with your post today.
"Of all the things God created,
I am often most grateful He created
laughter."
(Charles Swindoll)
I keep copying them and adding them to my email signatures.

It's so unfair for anyone to get cancer, but I almost can't stand reading about it in a child.
Bless that little boy and his family.
-
Hoping the tumor will start shrinking rapidly, and also that your dad's "belly issues" are something they can clear up quickly.
Nice that your parents got to meet Fred and Kasey.

Don,
You've been "my main man", since I first came to this board, so I'm hoping and praying that the Tarceva works miracles for you.
I don't know anything at all about the drugs you mentioned, but I hope it all comes together perfectly, to get you back on the right, healthy track to remission.

, an unexpected hug from one of my grandbabie's, etc.
Liz13 is now in heaven too.

She was my friend.
From the minute I first spoke with her on the phone, we were friends.
God Bless her family.
I miss you Liz.
