    Dear Colleen and girls,

    So very sorry on the passing of Fred. I offer my prayers and hope each day the pain subsides just a tiny, tiny bit. It is so unfair that this cruel disease has taken a man that was so young and needed by his family. Let the Lord wrap his arms around you in blessing.

    Charlene,
    Prayers for John and you. I know this has been a very hard choice and like Lainy, fear when we will have to make that same choice. Wishes of strength and courage go along with the prayers. Bless you.

    Dear Belle,
    My deep sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your sister. Knowing she is no longer suffering is probably the only relief you can feel as you grieve for your loss. May the Lord lighten your heavy heart. Prayers…

    Dear Kathy,
    So sorry for the terrible shock you and your brother received. I wanted to share with you what our first oncologist said in relation to “how much time is left”. I was very upset at how she put it at the time, but now feel differently. She said your husband has months…months meaning weeks or months meaning years. Only time will tell. We are almost one year out from that conversation and I do try to enjoy every bit of the extended time with my husband. Prayers coming your way for your Mom.

    mnauss,
    Praise the Lord! I am so happy for you to be 2-1/2 years past your transplant. When I first starting reading the top of the page I was afraid I would come across that you had passed since the listing date was so far back. You are truly an inspiration and encouragement for people suffering CC that can have a transplant. Thank you for sharing.

    Lainy,
    So sorry your friend has passed. This disease is so cruel. Just when life is supposed to slow down and be enjoyable…WHAM. Prayers for him and his family and also to you and Teddy.

    Swarty,
    So sorry you had to come looking for this site, but welcome…you have found a good place to hash out questions. My husband’s CC has been kept at bay with Cyberknife treatments. This is palliative treatment, not a cure, but at least it is letting him have a somewhat normal life. I know the emotional rollercoaster you are on and feel your pain. Prayers for your Dad, you and the rest of your family.

    Jeff,
    Best of luck at zapping those cancer critters. I am a big advocate of radiation to “cook” them little fellows….the Cyberknife kind of radiation. So far it seems to be keeping my husband’s CC at bay. You are smart to head these pains off at the pass. Thoughts and prayers to you.

    Darla,
    My heart and prayers go out to you. How very fast and devastating. I wanted to let you know in my research and readings that I had come across an article on how the river fluke in Asia can lay dormant in your system for up to 40 years before it causes CC problems. I had also read the rare instance where it could be contracted from Watercress that was infested with the same kind of parasite. I wish you every sucess in trying to get the VA into action. One of my husband’s doctors had asked if he was a Vietnam Vet in his trying to determine how the CC came about. Bless you and may the Lord lighten your heavy load.

    Peter,
    Good to hear from your again. Sorry there are new problems on the horizon. Just some input….my husband has had a couple rounds of Cyberknife to help keep the beast at bay. Every time a scan is due it is a breath holding event. Hope the results to your tests turn out to be better than you are anticipating. Keep the faith.

    Dear Charlene,
    So sorry the news couldn’t be better for John and you. Hopefully he will get relief for the pain in his pancreas. I too pray that when the time comes for my husband to pass the Lord takes him quickly and without pain. I will pray for John and you also.
