Great news, Deb! I can just feel your joy. Get a visual on this. I just did a front cartwheel with a flip around doing a backflip landing on my two feet raising a leg and spinning speedily with a leg in the air. From there I did the splits and cheered one of the old Storm Lake Tornado cheers. Actually all of this friskiness is in my mind, but it means I’m so so happy for you.

Thanks Lainy, your heart is as big as the whole outdoors. I try to get on when I can. I’m always wondering how the Miracle Man is doing. I feel a happiness when I read all the posts of those of you with terrific attitudes and enjoying each day.
Faith in all of you,
SophieThat’s right, girlfriend. I’m glad you’re retiring and feeling mostly normal. I found that that darn chemo gave me hair under my chin. Talk about feeling “just a tat masculine.” I think about you every single day, Lisa, and pray for you at night.

Hello Barbara, I had (I think about 6) another paracentesis (drainage) today. They took 8.2 liters which totaled 20 pounds. When I came home from the hospital I was 20 pounds lighter. It comes back very fast. I am getting drained now about every 2 weeks. It started out at 3 liters, then 3-1/2, then 5-1/2, then 6-1/2 and now 8.2. It offers relief, but the others are right about it coming back fast and more. I also have tried some drugs like lasix and spiralactone (sp.) They made me really nauseous. I feel really bad for your dad because I know what he’s going through. With an ultrasound guided paracentesis, surely the radiologist can find a little fluid to drain to help your dad. You might check again, but like Joyce says every individual is different.
All the best to your dad and family,
SophieDear Kris and Lisa, you are both such sweethearts and I’ve always tried to watch your postings. You touch my heart. I’m praying for you. We all are.

Dear Valerie,
There is nothing more I can add that hasn’t been said. Jeff has been a special strength to me since I first joined this board. Both you and he are role models for all of us. Please hold his hand for me once. My prayers are with your family.Sophie
Dear Heather and Emilee,
My sincere condolences that another fine person who graced this world has moved on. I continually followed your posts, Heather, admired your Lee greatly. I hope that your hearts will be lifted as time goes on.
My prayers and love for you and your family,
Sophie
Well, my dear dear Jeff, this isn’t the report card we were all hoping for you, but you certainly don’t need any tutoring. All the doctors know you’re smarter than they are about cholangio. If I didn’t follow your advice, I never would have gone to the mountains the 3 or 4 times I did among another snippets of sound advice that has helped me cross a bump. I don’t even know what to say except you’re living your life to the fullest each day, and it takes strength to do that. I’m not doing that, and I’m ashamed of myself when I think of you. Every night the name Jeff is in my prayers, and it will continue to be. You have so much faith, attitude, and love to sustain you, Jeff, that I am humbled to be one of your web girls.
Faith in you, Jeff
SophieDear Carol and Charlie,
Charlie sounds like he has a great sense of humor, and what incredible strength to be able to use it now for you and the children. Please know that your family is in my prayers, and I pray for no bumps in the road ahead..peaceful with a glorious light. I think about Charlie alot because he has had some of the same worries I have dwelled on. I hope my courage matches his.

Dear Amylea,
Heartfelt prayers for your mom are being sent your way. I am also praying for you Amylea. I think all of us pray each night for “our people” on this site. Looking forward to hearing good news.

Dear Krysta,
I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your grandfather. Grandparents are so special to us. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, and may God Bless your family and ease your pain.
Prayers for you,
SophieDear Maryanne and family, my heartfelt condolences to you. I have been reading your posts since I was first diagnosed and keeping up with Joe’s experiences. It always comforted me when you said Joe was without pain. God bless you and your family and may you find some peace and comfort in the time to come.
My prayers for you,
SophieDear Iris, the posts I read from Peter and about Peter truly commended him as a wonderful, courageous and sensitive man. I am so sorry for your loss. His last email was inspiring, and I am so glad he suffered no pain. I hope that you and your family are able to find peace and comfort in the time to come. My heart goes out to you.
You are in my prayers,
Sophie
