Linda, I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you. John meant a lot to me - his posts were always so thoughtful, kind and full of humor, as you described. I hope your heart heals with time.

You sound great, Fletch! So glad you aren't in much pain. I remember how much Nick hated his NG tube - he actually pulled it out in the middle of the night once!

I hope you fart soon:)

Fletch -- you are Superman! Seriously...you deserve some major R&R. Hope all goes well with your surgery and that you can enjoy a peaceful, stress-free and LAZY recovery in that beautifully rennovated home.

All my best to you, friend!

Ah, yuck, Fletch! Pus is gross. (But in a sick, twisted way, do you think it's kind of fun to squeeze it out - I know, gross, right? But it's like popping a huge zit or something ) So sorry you have to deal with that though and I hope they get you all healed up.

Joey - fantastique! Joie de vive! (sorry, practicing my French.)

This is so awesome and I am so happy for you. I hope you get your license soon so you can fully enjoy it...

I'm so sorry, Linda. I am thinking of you both and sending you strength.

Sally

BB -

I don't know which is worse...limbo or insurance agencies! Sounds like you're dealing with both remarkably well and I hope it all gets sorted out for you:)

Thanks, everyone. It's feels so good to hear from all of you! SBL - such great advice. BB - your bike route looks COLD! I hope that picture wasn't taken recently. If it was, you need a vacation in a warm place! Fletch - I saw that you finished chemo - woop woop! Congrats! And Joey - they are talking...

Ooops - somehow I put a smiley face with sunglasses where an "8" was supposed to be. Hmmmmm.

Hi guys, I haven't posted much lately but I am keeping tabs on all of you:) I also just thought I'd check-in...Nick got his latest CT results last night. Just the quick background - he did 9 rounds of folfox +avastin, starting last fall. Then he had a liver resection and ileo reversal in February. H...

I'm so sorry, John. I'm thinking of you.

Whoop whoop! Awesome news, Belle!

And you ladies, with your Stumptown coffee talk, are making me really miss Seattle right now!

Thinking of you, Terry!

Hi Belle, I just wanted to wish you good luck. I have my fingers crossed for good results for you! And, while I am the caregiver and not the one with cancer, I often feel alone with my husband's cancer. It's a hard thing to talk about and I know I have fears and emotions I don't want to burden him w...
