HI Joe, As Ry would say I'm her partner in crime. I'm so sorry you had reason to find this site, but I'm glad you did, it has helped me tremendously. I am having a recurrance of cancer discoverd in may 2002, had my first chemo a week from yesterday and second one yesterday and like you it sure wasn't fun. This second go around with this disease hasn't been as emotionally draining as the 1st time , a lot of the credit for that comes from the great friends I've met here, lots of great folks here. Take care friend. David A

You got it David, I've been thinking and praying for you alot, we got to stick together us Davids that is! Take care friend. DavidA

Norman and his blonde wife live in Calgary. One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again. The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must par .........." then the electricity goes out. Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplow can get through?" With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, Norman says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

I'm so glad your up and running also. You are such an ispiration to a lot of us.

Hi All my friends, Yesterday I had a rigid bronch and had a stent put in my right bronchus, I am breathing miraculosy better , everyone who knew how i was breathing is amazed at the way I'm breathing now and no whistling when I talk, I'm taking iot a little easy for the next few days as I understand it is not a pretty picture to have the stent dislodge, I'm good at taking it easy. I had a head ct this last wednesday and the results came back,NO mets to the brain!!!!!! I was a little concerned as I've been having lots of headaches, that eases my mind. Started chemo today(gemzar) and feeling okay right now, a little tired but then again it was along day . I thank everyone of you for your prayers, kind words, inspiration aand friendship, This diagnosis is a lot easier to handle this time due to all my great friends here. Love ya all, David A

Thanks Debi.

Cheryl, Please accept my condolences.

A priest, a Pentecostal preacher and a rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another, and they decided to do a seven-day experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience. Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation." Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he proclaimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle...WE DUNK! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to him from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestle down down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a crick. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the week in fellowship, feasting on God's Holy Word,and praising Jesus." They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Oy, you fellows don't know what trouble is until you try to circumcise one of those hairy buggers

Yup cancer is back , have tumor in my rt lung, lymph nodes and in my back. Holding up well for now. starting chemo carboplatin, gemzar next week, another surgery doesn't sound doable right now But I 'll be okay. Thanks everyone.

Gina it is so good to see you posting again! Glad your animals and home were spared.

Karen I didn't know that they could check lymph nodes either during a bronch, I'm assuming thats what the doctor meant? who knows I was a little sedated, The stent is something I believe I'm getting put in in the near future as I have had problems breathing since 9/02 and that was after my lobectomy. All this puts a new spin on things for me.

Had a bronch today and my lymph nodes came back positive for cancer, the blockage in my bronchus they aren't sure of sent it off for further biopsy. I'm see my oncologist on Friday oct 7th. Thank you all so much for your prayers aand consideration.

JUST FOR THE RECORD!!!!!!!! I ALLOW MY WIFE TO HOLD THE REMOTE ALSO, AS WE HAVE TWO REMOTES, HERS JUST DOESN'T HAVE BATTERIES IN IT!

Subject: Why Men Are Happier People WHY MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be president. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress - $5000; tux rental - $100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood, ALL the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Everything on your face stays its original color. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades You don't have to shave below your neck. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet, one color, all seasons. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24, in 45 minutes.

FEMALE COMEBACKS. Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before? Woman: Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore. Man: Is this seat empty? Woman: Yes, and this one will be if you sit down. Man: Your place or mine? Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine. Man: So, what do you do for a living? Woman: I'm a female impersonator. Man: Hey baby, what's your sign? Woman: Do not enter. Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning? Woman: Unfertilized Man: Your body is like a temple. Woman: Sorry, there are no services today. Man: I would go to the end of the world for you. Woman: But would you stay there? Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy. Woman: If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing.

HI , Tuesday 10/28/03 I had a pet scan this was after having a ct in mid sept, and a different kind of ct scan in mid october, My pulmonary doctor called today and said that the pet scan suggested a recurrance in my bronch area as well as an area behind my lung around the surgical site(which may just be scar tissue , but is an area where I have started to have pain lately), this may explain my continuing deteriating(sic) breathing situation, having a bronchcoscopy and biopsy this coming monday to determine more. Could really use some prayers from all my friends here. David

Wow Debi, I think trouble follow you! Glad to see you back and alive and kicking. I missed you in chat also. Take care
