here we go again

I have found that in life sometimes one of the hardest things to do is smile. I am so grateful for my family and friends being there and being such a good support system. I guess it takes something like cancer to open your eyes and realize that they have always been there for me.
Cancer  is back and so I am back in SD. Tomorrow is thanks giving.  It is good to see my SD family. I wish It were under better circumstances.
I do not know alot about my health at the moment. My doctor is out of town until Monday. I have seen my Oncologist/OBGYN and he said my cancer is back but he does not know to what extent. They did a physical exam and took about a gallon of blood. Now it is just hurry up and wait. I definitly am going to have chemo again.
My sister in law, Yolanda, passed away last Monday. She has been battling ovarian cancer for around 3 years. She is no longer in pain which is a good thing. I am very proud of my brother and how strong he is. I think it is much harder on your loved ones when this damned desease hits. I love you Dennis.

I will let you all know about my condition as I find out.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL

Hey Valerie,

Be brave. We are all so much more powerful than we can even imagine. Family is such great comfort and I am very glad and proud that we belong together.

Hey Valerie! Well, I hope you had an OK Thanksgiving in spite of the news and your sister-in-law's passing. Sometimes it seems like life really sucks! We miss you here at 4409 and send lots of hugs!
