" Good luck, and you have my prayers--just keep in mind that God has known our death dates from the day we were born--and since it is alrady picked out, does it really matter how we die on it? My Dad and God won the battle over this awful disease when God called my father home on October 14th, 2006. Once again, my prayers are with you.---Lisa D "

" I would really like to thank everyone for your thought and prayers. Prayers...you can never get enough of them. I am terrified. I have never been sicjk a day in my life. I guess it is the unknown. Maybe someone can tell me what to expect. I know there are alternative treatments. I am looking into them, I go for a pet scan this week,that really scares me. I have no family here. I haven'e even told anyone about this. Just my husband. But I am also the caretaker for my 88 year old mother, She has dementia and I do her dialysis at home. So many things to worry about. Thank you all so very much. It is good to be able to talk about this to someone. God Bless. Fern "
