((((((DB))))))) this is the first time I've seen this thread of yours. I really need a :spank: for not paying closer attention to what is going on around here. You are the most awesome person and I just know you are going to beat this horrible cancer and have the best Thanksgiving ever!! :kisser:

Something to really give thanks for!!!!

You bet! I'm very greatful and very content. No worries. The chemo is going great and the love and support are truly overwhelming. Means a lot. Most of my attention is focused now on others who are facing real struggles in their lives and so I spend part of each day devoted to prayer for them. I pray God will be as good and generous to them as He has been for me. That includes several Pixies; several friends; and folks I know in our area. Prayer list is long making it especially important to keep up the hopes. :thumbs:

Well, have some more support from me, then.

this is Lizz. Much love to you and Mrs.DB! :loveshowe:

Eleven down and one to go ... 11/25th the day before Thanksgiving, I'll have my last chemo treatment. Other than maybe a bit more fatigue than earlier, still very few side effects. Told the doc I was probably just reverting to normal. :)

DB, Normal is just a few miles down the road. :nod:

Hoping the last treatment goes as good as the rest.

Hi DB!
What a great thread started Lilith! I'm so glad to read that you're doing well. I was just going thru some "get well" cards I had on a shelf from this summer and found one from you and your Mrs. and I started crying reading it. Wonderful prayers sent to me and here you are with your own things going on! You're an amazing person and it's so great to hear you're doing well.
Needless to say, I put your card back up on my shelf and smiled knowing your prayers for me worked! Thank you!

Hello there mon ami
I've been mostly away for some time now...
I'll try to be around more
Glad to hear things are going well
sounds like you are faring well
Best of luck with the Last one

Take care of you

Thank you Scarecrow, IWM and Green Chef. Your good wishes and prayers mean the world to me. Scarecrow, you and the Mrs. have been good friends, and we truly value that friendship. Green Chef, it's so good to see you back. A family like Pixies is always waiting with open arms for it's people to come home. And, praise God that your treatments went well, too, IWM! You, your husband and that beautiful little girl are always in our thoughts!

DB

You're definatley one of a kind. Thank you for thinking of us, it was definately a very rough ~and scary~few months and like I said, your prayers worked so know that all of ours, for you, will work too! I still have the blanket Mrs. DB made for my daughter when she was born and all the cards you send.

Thank you for being such a wonderfully, caring friend!

I'd like to echo those sentiments, IWM. My last treatment was September 23rd, but the after-effects continued to worsen for 2-3 weeks subsequent to that. The good wishes, cards and St. Peregrine medallion DB and Mrs DB sent me all helped me stay strong, and I'm sure the prayers were at least equally effective!

Now I'm almost back to (what passes for!!) normal, though I still tire fairly easily. e.g., I went into work yesterday to arrange a "phased return" early next year..... slept through to after 11 this morning, and can't talk now either!! (Relief to Herself, I'm sure!!)

DB - congrats on reaching treatment's end.. and enjoy Thanksgiving when it comes!!

Define "normal".

(((((((((((DB))))))))))) hugs to you just because Dicksbro.

GG: Normal is when the left and right feet get placed in the left and right shoes respectively, and when you wake up, the green is at your feet and the blue is up above. :)

SD: Thanks! Hugs back 'atcha! It's going to be a great holiday season, I can feel it in my bones. :)
