Mary, that is great news. Keep us updated.
Hi everybody, I'm dropping by at this hour to let everyone know how things are with my dad. We (meaning me, mom, dad, brother who drove down from Maine, and recently relocated sister) took dad to the VA today and met with Oncology. His main Dr. in this group is taking his case to the Oncology Board to present and discuss and possibly come up with a plan of action. My dad's case is an oddity. Most people who contract this kind of cancer (Billiary Duct System Cancer) normally die from it before the age of 65. My dad is 82 and just was diagnosed last week. Most are extremely unhealthy and my dad is one of the most healthy people I know. Once most are diagnosed with this disease they are already in failing health, dad went back to the gym today. So, the original prognosis of less than 6 months was a bit premature they told us today. They are now thinking it may be up to 2 years!!!!! I am so excited. But they of course have given us the symptoms to look for. They are talking about a type of radiation treatment that may even slow down the growth rate of his tumor, dad is willing to try anything as long as it doesn't make him sick, so chemo was not an option for him, but it is rarely used for this type of cancer. Thank you all for your prayers, please just continue to pray if you think of me!!! I love my dad and it will by quite the loss for me to lose him, I know it will happen, but I don't want my dad to be in pain.
Again, thank you all!!!! I felt your prayers.
you guys... 

Too bad I don't have any plans, other than my sonogram. The older girls have tried inviting friends to spend the night, but no one can! So I get snaps for saying yes, without having to endure all the craziness! 

) He is cranky/moody/sporty/Alex P. Keaton-like with his money!!! FAB hubby material there!!!
). His height finally caught up with his weight...so he's all lean now too!!! Blonde hair, blue/green eyes. Wants to be a PILOT!!! Just think of all the WDW FAMILY vacations we could take together, Bonnie!!! Oh ya...he is VERY sweet natured/smart (can even woo your girl with 'broken' French



I called the sonogram place and they said they could not see me without. The appt was for 7:30am and my regular doctor's office does not open until 9:00 on Fridays so they weren't able to call and have the doc send over a new one. So now I have to go get a new one and make a new sonogram appt.
Oh well, such is life.
I'm so sorry about your funk. I completely understand, it happens to me sometimes. Well, just know we miss you and we'll be here when you're ready to return! I'm glad your DD is coming home, that will be sure to lift your spirits.
Hope to catch you ladies later on today!
