He is now cancer free and healthy. I suggest that you look into the Hutchinson cancer hospital in seattle- one of the best in the country and a big part of why my stepfather is alive today.

As soon as I heard I put my finger to the keyboard and started contacting my friends on prayer chains. The Lutherans, Baptist, Methodist and a few Catholics have your name, Adrian & Allister and are lifting them in prayer. I have asked for any one who has been down the road to let me know. Yes, there are people who have been down the road and can talk about it as a past experience. After reading your blog I can tell that you look at things as "1/2 full and not 1/2 empty". It sounds like your medical team is on the ball and looking out for you daily. Keep your spirits up and know that there are many people in your corner.<BR/>I contacted Kurt Jegermanis who went to HS with you, he'll pass the word.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Deborah HubbsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10598917.post-52948599600438252912008-04-11T18:29:00.000-04:002008-04-11T18:29:00.000-04:00I'm glad you have you family to support you during...I'm glad you have you family to support you during this scary and difficult time. :| Hugs.Bianca Reaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367735763877953363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10598917.post-37469981227931939752008-04-11T16:06:00.000-04:002008-04-11T16:06:00.000-04:00I join the legions in saying that I've always enjo...I join the legions in saying that I've always enjoyed reading your work on Pajiba.<BR/>After years of knowing that I <EM>should</EM> do it, you have finally inspired me to actually join the bone marrow registry up here in Ontario.

Of course my prayers are with you and your family. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a cancer survivor, but my mom is. The first round of surgeries and chemo were very difficult for us, but I promise you - after the first week or two, it does get easier. Definately have a head-shaving party (we did! it was hilarious!) and always do something silly every day. She's been seven years in remission and you will be soon too. <BR/><BR/>Stay strong. God will pull you through. <BR/><BR/>-KristenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10598917.post-209674998135419752008-04-11T11:57:00.000-04:002008-04-11T11:57:00.000-04:00Cancer runs on both sides of my family, so I've ha...Cancer runs on both sides of my family, so I've had more experiences with this than I'd care to, or anyone ever should...even once is too much, Godtopus dammit!<BR/><BR/>My aunt, when diagnosed with a brain tumor, was told her hair may or may not fall out, but she decided to shave it all off herself and handed it to my mom in a paper bag with "Are we having fun yet?" written on it. <BR/><BR/>My mother and grandmother also used to egg her on when she was goofy from the pain meds and write down all the funny things she said to repeat back to her whenever she may have been feeling a bit depressed later on. <BR/><BR/>I know we're an invisible support group, but we're here for whatever you need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10598917.post-46104325452414705942008-04-11T05:03:00.000-04:002008-04-11T05:03:00.000-04:00Happy juice is always a good thing my dear!
