Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Don't Let This Happen to You! (or Someone you Love)

Steve,
I am just catching up on this post.
My prayers go out to your father and your family.
My mother had breast cancer back in the early 80's.
She went ten years after surgery and then had treatment(s) due to new developments (cancer).
Here we are 20+ years later and she is still kicking a$$ on the golf course in her 80's!
My Father had prostate cancer 1 1/2 years ago. He has a clean bill of health now.
A word of advice for you guy's: get those 'psa' tests done if you are in your forties. It could save your life down the road.

You got it, Steve;
Prayers shifting to the bioposy mode-glad to hear of the good news thus far and will be pushing for even better results.

Rich and Family.

Steve,

Glad to hear your father is doing well. Hope the news is good regarding the lymph node biopsy. My wife Lorie had no lymph node involvement and I hope the same can be said for your father.

Lorie had her reconstructive surgery Friday morning. I know what you mean by a long day. Left home at 0545 and returned home at 5pm. She is at home and is very sore. We are now done with surgeries. She is scheduled to have her battery of tests here soon, one year after initial diagnoses. I hope everything continues to go well.

I hope your dad's results are good and wish him a speedy recovery.

Steve,

Just found this thread, like most of the others, I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Great to hear your dad has a positive attitude, that helps a lot.

Randy

Steve and Scott - so glad to see that things are moving
in the right direction for both of you!!

You are both in our prayers.

Steve,
great to hear that your Dad is in good spirits - that will serve him quite well. Here's hoping the tests confirm things are ok.
Scott,
Good luck and hopefully things continue to work out well. I have full appreciation for what a long year that can be - my girlfriend's grandmother just finished her chemo this week about 6 months after being diagnosed with cancer. It was pretty scary as her son had died just 3 years earlier.

Scott and Ray,

Thank you for your thoughts. Support from friends and family has been a blessing the last year. During Chemo we had food provided from friends. The hundreds of cards received boosted my wife's spirits as well as the flowers we received. I believe that my wife knowing she has a lot of people that care about her has made the last year easier to bear.

I certainly hope that no one here has to experience anything like this.

Scott

All,

Our prayers have been answered!

I apologize for not getting back to you all sooner, but the biopsy came back for my Dad's suspect lymph node and the Doctor gave him a CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH!

He has been released to go back to work (he already has ) and has been told that he can go back to using his arm again (with stretching and some weight lifting).

My Dad turned 76 on Tuesday and he was given this great news on Wednesday!

We all cried a great deal knowing that (for now) cancer is one thing we do not have to worry about with him...

I want to thank all of you for the prayers and positive thoughts on behalf of my entire family.

May God Bless each one of you.

Thanks again for being family.

Steve

Steve,

OH THANK HEAVEN! A little GOOD NEWS goes a long way, and is always welcome.

All the best to your Dad and family. It's suddenly a lovely spring isn't it?
