You guys are too much. I have been so busy taking care of the big guy and myself. We went to OncoMan today to get our helping of hope distributed. Ed is feeling enough strength to do testing instead of getting hospitalized for them. Another busy week for us.

Tumor markers cut more than half. This does not mean jack to me until I see the brain MRI. It is good in the sense that it is less cancer to travel to the brain. I just want to get them to go to sleep. Still tossing the ideas around but Temodar, Zometa, Faslodex are all in the mix.

I have been still having severe boughts of anxiety and sometimes moments of great sadness. I find myself crying in the other room, something I have not done in some time.

Been reading for about 15 minutes per day. Not responding to too many posts but praying for all whom need them and rejoicing with those that should be celebrating.

I love you all to pieces. You are such a big part in the balance I have achieved in my life. Thanks for the hugs and special thoughts. Although a little distant, you remain deeply etched in my heart. Remember, I do not stray far!!

Steph, believe it or not, Ed and I just had a peach. Wow, it was like they ripened perfectly to be eaten today. Had to hear the slurping we did, I can be very feminine ya know but tonight was not that night...LOL!>>Believe51

PS> OncoMan and his wife are hooked on cruising now.....hahaha, I love him even more. He is off for a Canada cruise right now.
