      Praise God!  You are an amazing person who deserves only the best in life.  Congrats to you, Jim.  Meeting you last May was such a huge blessing to me.  Your smile is contagious and your spirit is amazing.  So thrilled for you!  Take good care, until we meet again……

      Jim – Buddy!!!!

      How about an osteo-bone supplement?  It couldn't hurt, right?

      Gosh, I miss your laugh!  So fortunate to have crossed your path, Jim!   Your humor and personality are the best! 

      God Bless Abundantly!

      Mark:

      It's so great to hear from you and know that you are doing so well.  You've got about 6 months on me, and I always found you a great inspiration.  You are proof that it can be done.  Not sure how you kept your strength and attitude with multiple craniotomy's, Mark, but you DID!  Thanks for popping on to share your story…it's an amazing one.

      Hugs,

      Rebecca:

      I think of you and Bob and am sooo thrilled that he remains NED!  Yes, it is definitely hard with small children.  If it were just me, it would be easier to accept.  I hate them seeing me sick.

      I do have some active lung mets as well, so I'm worried that if I go into surgery, they may continue to grow while I'm recouperating.  We'll see what Dr. Kirkwood in Pitts has to say tomorrow.  I will keep you all posted and continue to pray for ALL!

      Hugs,

      Sandy

      Hi Sue:

      I think of you often too!  I'm so glad you are in the best of care at MD Anderson!  Roswell here in Buffalo is trying to talk me into Temador (alone), and I'm just not sold.  I've heard ipi + Temodar brings great results.  I know you're on the right track, I can feel it.

      Hugs!

      Kathie:

      Yes, I had Ron go get them at the hospital.  I wish it was .5 cm x 6 mm….no, it's 5 cm x 6 cm, and that is BIG!  And, I'm scared!  The good news (I'm really digging here) is that the pain seems to be sibsiding.  I just want to be able to enjoy the weekend with my family and then full speed ahead on Monday in Pitts.  Damn this disease. 

      Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day to speak to me today, Kathie!  I appreciate it, and it was wonderful to hear your voice too. 🙂  YOU take care of you, good luck on the house and continue enjoying that precious grand-baby of yours.  "Hi" to Tim, ok?
