Tammy - sending many prayers for your dad and for your entire family during test time. Will be awaiting update and thinking of you until then.

Bucky - what excellent news! I hope you enjoy the 3 month "parole" and I expect that will be extended for good behavior! I am so very, very happy for you.
Blessings,
Linda

Mary - late to the party (as usual) but wanted to say ... WONDERFUL NEWS!
If the dance is a conga I've just joined the end of the line (watch out I don't kick someone!) Hope you enjoyed the big party and the wine! Glad you had such good things to celebrate!

Adding my prayers for your mom.

Becky - congratulations on 5 years! I know the journey has been difficult and I am so happy for you.
I can certainly relate to the diagnosis that sends your world spinning and I too, still have those nasty thoughts invade my head from time to time. Thanks for sharing and letting me know the fear is normal and will perhaps lessen with time. I believe I will have to get a flashlight and baseball bat (following you just like Kasey did) for the times those thoughts invade my head.
Cheers to many, many, many more happy years Becky! In one month you will have the official verdict and we will be right there to celebrate the good news with you!!!

Grateful for a good book to read when time allows. Just finished reading "Tuesday's With Morrie" to my kids for family story and they said it was ... the best book ever. Even beat out Harry Potter!
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Oh ((((Randy)))) ... there are tears streaming down my face as I read both your posts (past and recent). You both shared a love so sweet and it is so darn unfair that it was cut short by stupid cancer. She is definitely smiling on you and still loving you deeply. I am so very, very sorry for your loss.
I thank you for all the support you give to everyone taking this unfortunate journey.
Blessings,
Linda

So glad you got some answers and now know how to proceed. I am sorry it is so hard - there is nothing fair about cancer, that is for sure.
I will keep you and your husband in my prayers.

Andy...you sound like my husband when I first met him as he too had difficulty sharing emotions; however, in the last 20 years (he is 41 now) he suffered the loss of his dad at that time, his 26 year old brother 8 months after that, and his 56 year old sister two years ago. In his case, it was necessary to find a way to release those feelings or it would cripple him. Writing this down for you is a release of sorts and that is a good thing. You are right - you are unknown to anyone personally here and thus, it is safe to share your feelings. You may find as time goes by that you'll be sharing these feelings with your wife (like my hubby) and you may not - either way, you are releasing those emotions and I think that is good.
It is nice that the priest knew your dad and could make it more personal.
Glad to hear you managed to sneak in a nap. I know the upcoming days will be difficult and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Cat - I am so sorry to hear this news. I know how difficult this decision was for her and I am sorry that the surgery couldn't proceed.
She is so very lucky to have you on her side - you are optimistic and yet balanced in your approach.
The prayers will continue that Plan B is the magic bullet!

Great news about your dad - he fought hard to get those lovely words!
I am sorry the good news was tarnished with the bad news about your MIL. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My deepest condolences again on the loss of your sister. To be dealing with so much at once is so unfair.
Anyhow, I don't have any answers regarding the growth rate as to fast or slow; however, Dr. West may be able to guide you more in that area (www.onctalk.com). Hope that helps.
Hope you get some answers soon.

I'm sorry I have no advice to give regarding living wills; however, I am keeping you in my thoughts and saying prayers for you, your grandpa, and your entire family.

Welcome Colleen from a fellow lurker! The people are great (as you can see) and they have so much to offer. Glad to hear that the Tarceva side effects are manageable.
Your son is adorable!
Nice to "meet you".

Kelly - wonderful news on DH's job - I never under estimate the power of prayer. Looking forward to hearing the "official" word in 5 days time!!
Linda

Geri, I have no advice whatsoever on the procedure - sorry. Just wanted to let you know I think this just sucks that you keep getting hit with everything and hopeful that once this procedure is out of the way you will have a better time of it.
Linda

Dar, what wonderful news! I can hear the excitement in your post, and I am excited right along with you and your mom. Prayers for every success with this treatment.

Ahh Jen - just the great news I was looking forward to hearing from you. Blessings to you and your "Miracle Man!" Enjoy the celebration - you all deserve it.

Grateful the minus 27 has been replaced with a much more tolerable minus 5! Snow is on the way, so you and I can watch it fall together Jackie, at opposite ends of the country.
Hope you all enjoyed MLK day yesterday - we don't officially celebrate that wonderful man in Canada but I did take a moment to reflect on the amazing things he accomplished.
Have a good day everyone.

Steph - oh my heart aches for you and your family. I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your beautiful and courageous mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Hi, I'm sorry I can't help you with the question about the bone biopsy, but I am sending prayers.

Oh Andy - I am so sad for you, your mom, your entire family! Your dad sounds like an amazing man and loved by so very many - what a legacy of love he left behind.
There seem to be so many internal struggles and decisions to be made now and I would just say to be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions you need to. It sounds as though you are open in discussing your feelings and that is a good thing. My husband struggled over the same thing when his dad passed about what to call the family home - for quite sometime it was still mom and dad's; over the years the home is now referred to as mom's. Whatever feels right for you and your family is the right answer for you.
Whatever decision you make about the bowling ball (what a sweet idea from the team) will be made from your heart and will therefore be the right decision.
Again, I am sorry about your loss and I pray the days will be filled with good memories of him.
Linda

Grateful the kids and I are able to stay in our warm, cozy house today while the wind chill is a blustery minus 48 out. Grateful for a furnace that continues to work!
