Jim, you are going in to get your results on my birthday. I'll give my OJ an extra shot of something that morning and raise
my glass to you, wishing you the coldest and chilliest news...
That chemo makes you tired, no way around it, but you'll get your old dance back in your step.

Jim, we are wishing you well. Hope the news is good.

My cousin just went through chemo for mouth cancer. Since I have known him {about 40 years} he has had a big red beard and long red hair. These last few years the beard and hair was more gray than red, and he was looking old. With all his hair and beard gone, he looks like a young man again. I don't talk to him much, as he is a private person like I am, but I did see him go by on the tractor the other day towing a trailer load of firewood. The BIL and I had offered to cut wood for him a few weeks ago. He had said he had enough at the time, and he was looking forward to getting some for himself. I'm sure his son ran the saw, but it's good that he is out of the house. I trust you will be out and about soon yourself.

Yep, Jim, I've known a number of people who have gone through chemo and/or radiation and never even heard of anyone who liked it, but sometimes the results are worth it. So we'll hope and pray that's true for you, too.

Jim, Thanks for keeping us informed. Fingers crossed for you.

These pics from today will warm your neck. :thumbsup:

Looking out the garage door. The usual wall of snow by this time of winter, and last night's snow on the Civic.

Sunflowers still standing in the garden. Should grow that mammoth variety for firewood. :) The blue jays picked them clean a long time ago.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and prayers. I'm looking forward to getting through this and moving on. At times, it seems overwhelming, but I always remember that I'm not the first nor last to have to deal with these struggles. I won't give up and I won't give in. That's not what I'm about and not what all my TBN support network is about. Thank you all for keeping me grounded and on course.:)

Look forward Jim,

Went to a welcome home gathering yesterday for a neighbor who recently completed chemo and radiation. I motioned toward my wife and remarked she has been Cancer free since 2006, he will do it too.

So will you.
