Just wondering how your Dad is doing? Any decisions about radiation? How is he feeling? Hope he is feeling well. God Bless,
Jamie

Kris,
I am sending good vibes and lots of prayers your way. I really believe you will get your surgery! I was told I was unresectable and had an open and close surgery that she said confirmed it. Well, 8 months later I had a different surgeon that did the resection. So it is possible. I think that with your attitude and youth you will beat this beast. Good thoughts and prayers your way! God Bless,
Jamie

Paula,
I think Lainy put it perfectly. I know what you mean about being the one that usually takes care of others. I was a Registered Nurse for years and then took care of my Mother after my Dad passed. Taking care of others is what I do and want to do. I feel guilty having to have others help me…But… beating this awful cancer is more important so I feel we need to accept help when needed so we have the strength we need to fight this. God Bless,
Jamie

Jim,
Sorry I am a day late but my prayers are with you today that you have a sucessful surgery and fast recovery. God Bless,
Jamie

Ljg,
Boy did you get my tears flowing. What a lovely post. I sit here remembering my Mom and missing her. It’s been almost 10 years since she passed and I still miss her. I still have some of her things that I cling to at times. As I travel this journey I am on, there are so many days that I wish my Mom and Dad were here to reassure me as they used to. My Dad telling me, “Susie (his nickname for me) it’ll all be OK” As a Mom myself, I worry about how my own children will deal with their loss. It breaks my heart sometimes to read posts from family survivors. I’ve talked to both of them and tried to let then know I will always be with them and how much I love them and what they have brought into my life. We’ve talked about “things”, I’ve given them some of my things already and discussed who wants what. I’ve asked them not to grieve or be angry but to smile and celebrate my life when I am gone. I fight to be here for them for as long as possible. I want to see them get married, have their own kids, graduate from college. Of course, if I listen to the Drs, that will be impossible. They didn’t know if I would be able to see my daughter graduate from High School last May. But I was there! It just makes me more determined to fight harder. Your Mom must have been a very special woman and Mother. I believe her love and spirit is with you always. You Mom was blessed to have such a wonderful and caring daughter. God Bless,
Jamie

Amy;
I agree with Sue also. My husband is on cholesterol meds and his liver enzymes where elevated awhile back. I got really worried too. His Dr said not to worry since cholesterol meds can be cause. We asked my oncologist when I had an appoinment and he totally blew it off because they weren’t that elevated. Also, last Christmas my 18 yr old daughter had liver enzymes 4X normal. I was really freaking out since they looked like mine when I was diagnosed. Turns out she had mono and that also can raise enzymes. Repeated them a couple of months later and were fine. I’d call his Dr and ask him to repeat the liver enzymes in July when he has his cholesterol checked. Then you can see if there is a change and discuss it at his appointment. God Bless,
Jamie
