Hello Walter, how are you? If you are feeling well enough, please post and let us know how you are doing. I hope you had a nice Xmas with your children. Is your mother in law still there looking after you? I think about you often and pray that you are okay. God bless you all, Ann.

Hello, Anne.

Other than being extremely tired I've been feeling all right. My MIL is still looking after me as is my niece. So far so good on the cancer front. The WBR reduced the brain lesions significantly and there is no additional spread. I'm still receiving treatment and have no yet given up hope of beating this. Thank you for your support, concern, and prayers. They are appreciated.

Walt

Hello Walter, I'm so pleased to hear you are doing well. I'm also glad to hear that your MIL and your niece are still with you to help out with the children. You are an exceptional man for trying to beat this disease and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I think your courage and determination is brilliant, I don't know how you do it, but you must be an inspiration to so many others on this site. I wish you all the best and please keep us posted on your progress. God bless, Ann.

Hi Anne and Walter. Something made me check in today. I'm glad to see familiar "faces". I can hardly believe it will be a year tomorrow that I lost Danny. It feels like it happened yesterday. I imagine you're not having it easy Walter. You just keep fighting and know there are people who are praying for you. Cheryl

Cheryl,

I have not been on the board in a month, but I decided to check in today. Things have been hectic around the house, with Karen growing up and moving faster, she's hard to keep up with. As to the cancer, it seems I've beaten most of them, I'll have the a lobectomy in April to remove the upper lobe of the left lung, which is still causing trouble.

All is well here, at least as good as it can be. And it will continue to sting Cheryl, but eventually, we'll both realize, life goes on whether we're ready or not. And we may pretend for a while, act like we're doing better and we have it together, then hopefully one day, as the Missionaries have told me, we'll discover we are not faking it, we are better, for real. You're all in my prayers.

Love Walter
