Hi there;) How are you doing? How did things go for your dad on Monday? I hope it's looking good. I hope i didn't miss your post, i've been looking for an update.Just wanted to let you know i'm thinking of you, and THANK YOU sooo much for your kind words in the post to me the other day, you always make me smile;)
Take care now!
Yeah, LD, I've been thinking of you & wondering how dad is doing also. Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Good Morning Jayde and CB! Thanks so much for your concern. Well.. Dad has Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, Diffuse Large B cell Stage 3. Which means in a nutshell that it is an aggressive type, which hasn't spread to any of his organs or his bone marrow- good news! this is one of the most common types of this cancer and is the most curable and treatable! THANK GOD! he has had 2 cycles of chemotherapy which he seemed to react to well, the lymph nodes have already gone down! and his cough is gone. In another 3 weeks he will have to go back for another cycle and this will probably carry on for about 6 months! the chemo can be pretty bad, so I just pray he does well. My brother has been quite the support - which surprised me, he is a great guy but the last time Dad was sick he was no where to be found, so it makes it that much easier to know he is there. Soooo I'm feeling alot better, it was just not knowing that was freaking me out, I still feel sad for him that he has to go threw this, which is only normal.
I'm away housesitting right now, so I'll be on the board most likely in the mornings, no computer access where I am-can you believe it!!!! I've been thinking about you both and everyone else on the board, and I miss ya all and love ya to bits! :) Thank-you again for being here, it means so much to me, to know you are here!
BIg Big Hugs and Lots Of Love

HEY LD!! Great news that your Dad is responding to the chemo.
How are YOU doing my friend?
How are YOU doing my friend?
Love-Dove, Thanks for sharing the update about your Father, I hope he has a full recovery...isn't it nice to be able to be there for him? Friends of mine (when I was married) have a 20 year old daughter who I think was recently diagnosed with the same form of cancer as your Dad...I'm glad to hear it is completely treatable and highly curable.
Hey there all!! Feels soooo good to be back!!!! My dad is feeling good, so hopefully this means he will respond well to the chemo.
Everything with me is going okay, yep jayde the man thing can drive you nutty, I just try to keep myself in check and try not to get too freaked out about what he does, I've learned that lesson the hard way!! although at times it is really trying... it seems the more stress around me, the more he acts like an a**!! go figure that one! maybe because I'm not giving him my full attention!! god knows!!
I did have a strawberry dacquari at the beach yesterday, but just one, and I managed to stop and drink water afterwards, the H was with me and seemed pretty nervous about it, but to be honest it just didn't seem to taste as good as they used to! and honestly I couldn't even taste the alcohol, you know those bar drinks, for all I know it could have been a virgin one! I'm not letting my guard down and fooling myself into thinking I can do that all the time because I know in my heart of hearts I can't, it's really kinda depressing when you see others having their drinks, and knowing in your heart, you just can't go there.. summer is always a hard one isn't it!! be strong and carry on!!
Thanks so much as always for your support and caring words during this time with my Dad, you guys are so very special to me!! Love ya all!!
