Comments: I don't want to spoil the moment, but I do want to borrow some of that powerful prayer & direct it toward my brother, Doug. He recently completed almost 2 yrs of treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma & was receiving glowing reports of progress using a single IV drug, Rituxan (Rituximab). Several weeks ago, he began having lower GI problems & wound up having surgery to remove a section of his small intestine. Lab tests revealed the presence of Mantle Cell Lymphoma, another form of Non-Hodgkins. So now, he's been ramped up to a full-blown chemo treatment known as R-CHOP - each letter stands for 1 of 5 drugs in the 'cocktail', with R being his original med. He's having 3 initial chemo sessions, at 2-3 week intervals, followed by tests to determine the effects. He's had 2 treatments so far & they've both kicked his butt for several days - very little strength or energy & sleeping a lot. But, he's been able to bounce back afterward & carry on somewhat normally til the next visit. I expect we'll have some results by the end of this month & an idea of next steps. Til then, you know what to do - what we do best as a group. Many thanks in advance.
Comments: Great news, Ada! I think of you and pray for you often! You are definitely a KA SOCite 66er!
Comments: KA Ada, what great news! As Happy Jack said....just keep on keeping on! Also, what fantastic news about Dane! Just proves that the power of prayer continues to work!
Comments: Ada Ann -- Glad to hear you are having minimal side effects and on the downhill slope of the chemo. I know you'll be glad when you are finished. Good news about Dane. God is good.
Comments: Good to hear from you, KA Ada. You keep on keeping on. You are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. IF this heat wave hangs around all of us maybe coming to spend a few days with you. Gotta be cooler there. It was a cooler and wetter July than I can remember in a long time. Fugate must have left the gate open in NM. The high pressure bubble is moving back in from the west.
Comments: I love hearing the good news about Dane and Kick "A" Ada Ann. You guys just can't fail with your great attitudes and determination to beat it. We continue to support you both and lift you up in prayer for complete recovery. We love you guys.  I had a treat spending the day with my 9 year-old grandson yesterday. We played baseball at the park, watched "Wall-E" and went to Hawaiian Falls Swim Park. It was definitely a full and fun day.
Comments: Glad to see you post Ada Ann! Hope you can feel the prayers ea nite as you are always in there.
Comments: I had my 4th chemo treatment yesterday....tolerating everything pretty well....few side effects....keep on prayin!

Comments: Jack: Sounds like some of our ladies in our class...or am I viewing the future with incorrect colored lenses? Or is this reality today? In any event, nice message from our seniors!
Comments: Is this our future?? Just when you have lost faith in human kindness, someone who teaches at Pine Street Elementary in The letter was sent to the Principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say "thank you". This story is a credit to all humankind. Forward to anyone you know who might need a lift today. Dear God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Rosecrest Retirement Home. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping. The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. Her distress over the broken radio touched me and I knew this was God's way of answering my prayers. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my ass. Thank you for that opportunity. Sincerely,
Comments: Sandy, next time Cousin Sheryl's in town, could you fix me up with her? I don't think Lance would mind. [Note to Self - just in case, go out and buy some Spandex britches like the bikers wear]
Comments: Sandy Mc, Just be glad it's not "OLD CROW"
Comments: He does, doesn't he  I was just at Tom Thumb and for the forth time this week I was ask if I am related to Cheryl Crow. Forty years ago, it was Trammell Crow. |
Also hope side affects will remain at a minimum as you continue your treatments. You're President of a tough "KickA** Club & we will continue to pray for all our SOC members.| < Previous 15 | Next 15 > |
