Hi Jane, Hope you really enjoy this time with your family! Love, Nell

So sorry you got this scarey news, Tann, but glad they are small, and like Becky said glad you had early symptoms. I will be praying for you to breeze through this like some of the others have, and to kick those mets out!! Love, Nell

Thanks for the reminder, and I am sending prayers for good tests!

DANCING!

Well that was quite the roller coaster! Praying for good results tomorrow, and glad you have a good note to sleep on tonight!

So sorry for this loss Charlotte. I know you will miss Rich terribly, but I am glad with you that he is not sick any longer. Hope you can find comfort and rest in that and I know you are a wonderful support for your brother. Glad to hear you are staying here with us. Love, Nell

DeanCarl, You are always an attitude adjuster for me! Thank you so very much for sharing your outlook on life here. We are blessed by your presence, and you help me to see my "full to the brim" cup too. So glad you are enjoying eating and football, and that you have your wonderful Gay by your side! Love, Nell

Rich, I am so sorry you have had such "bumps"! Praying for you that all will go well now, and that your onc visit will be a positive one.

OhMan, this is so miserable for all of you Florida friends! Praying for you! Love, Nell

Oh Sharyn, What an onslaught of blows all at once! Keeping you and your mom and dad in my prayers.

Dear Cat, I just want to say you are a person who has given lots of people here support and courage. I agree with Elaine, be safe and let us know when you get home. Love, Nell

camping with grandsons. Was supposed to be only over the weekend which is why I did not ask for a hall pass.. However.. Had a car accident right past the Pinconning exit on I-75. Was pullling the camper with my trailblazer and hit some debri in the road with the camper wheel. Was in the left lane. Jackknifed both ways and shot across the right lane and into a big ditch thing like is on the side of expressways. I was in heavy traffic too, as it was around 5 in the afternoon, and was alone in the car since the kids and their moms were joining me later on in the evenning. I was on my way to Tawas Point State Park and hubby was following me to help me set up and then going back home to work. Well anyways, I sure prayed when that camper started throwing itself around! All is well, except nasty sprain of my left wrist.. thought it was broken at first, but nope. The car needs to be fixed but it runs fine and we will take it in probably tomorrow. I hit a mile marker on the way into the ditch. Boy are we thankful for no more problem than that! The camper was fine and the miracle is that no one hit me or I hit no one else when I flew across the traffic, and that my trailblazer did not roll going down into that deep ditch!!! Several cars stopped and people were very shook up because it really looked like the car next to me would not be able to stop and keep from hitting me, and also they all thought my suv would roll. My poor hubby was sooo upset, and here he was right behind me. I scared him to death! Anyways, I just got home today, and It hurts to type, so I will not post a lot for a few days. Glad to be home, thats for sure, and glad for my guardian angels!! Love to all Nell

Renee , So sorry for your loss, but so blessed by your story of Scott's passing. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

You must be a wonderful stepdad, Bruce! Waiting to see that picture!

Well, he got a biopsy of his prostate on Wed. and yesterday the urologist who performed the biopsy called and said it showed aggressive cancer, but that it seemed localized still. He took 3 snips. He thinks the bone mets are from the lung. I dont think he has ever had any imaging of his brain, isn't that unusual? Anyhow, now his GP who read the results says he will still be the "Captain" of this situation, and will now send him back to the oncologist, who will probably biopsy the 4rth lumbar and maybe the aortic lymph. Bob is running from one doc to another, and his GP insists he return to him between every visit. The urologist is 100 miles away in Rochester, the surgeon who did his segmentectomy is 50 miles away in Ann Arbor, and the GP and the onc. are in Flint. At first the Rochester Dr. said he wanted to send Bob to his assoc. in the same building for some sort of hormone treatment to try to slow down the prostate cancer, but the GP said no he could administer the shots. I know I am rambling .. just frustrated. The primary doc is a personal friend and Bob and Jo are loyal to him which INFURIATES me. Ah well, we love them and will be there for them no matter what. Please pray for them that they get a good oncologist finally and his treatment gets coordinated.. I WANT TO MOVE BOB TO MN., Dr. Joe.

Hi Bruce, Praying for a very boring visit . love Nell

Hi Elaine, I sure have know knowledge that is helpful about all that, but I wanted to say you are sure in my prayers that you will get answers somehow. I keep missing chat, and remembering at around 11 pm..sheesh. Thinking of you and praying for you. Love, Nell

Adding my thanks, David and Karen, and if you see Beth, please give her a hug from all of us. Beth, I am so very sorry you are going through all of this. You are in my prayers as well, and have been. As Bruce says, prayer does change things, and we are sure praying it will change this! Love, Nell

Hi Joe, We are sooo blessed that you take time to come here. You will find this is a wonderful sight, full of insights to all kinds of things and I think you will enjoy our company and we sure are happy for yours. The idea of the team concept you mentioned would be such a relief for our friend who is a pt. He is indeed being treated by a group of indivuals. One is in Rochester,MI, 2 are in Flint and another at UofM in Ann Arbor,Mi. I don't believe they have ever sat down together and his diagnosis was in Feb. He now has a second primary that they are calling "aggressive prostate cancer", and bone mets, and an aortic lymph met, whatever that is. You sound very dedicated. Thanks for coming here.

Oh Angie, This sounds soo hard. I am praying for strength for you and your family, and for some good days again.

Dear Charlotte, This is sad news, and my heart aches for you and your sons. I am praying you will have comfort and strength, and Rich also. Love, Nell

So sorry to hear this .Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

So very glad to hear from you and glad you are home now. Take care of you and rest up. Love, Nell

Oh Ellen.. How wonderful!!!!! You and Len have a great celebration. Thanking God for your news! Love, Nell

My Mom and sisters are in Wetumpka, near Montgomery, and they are getting very nervous too. Am already praying for all of you from this area. Love, Nell
