I'm disappointed my parents just left for Jordan, because it sounds like you can use all of the help you can get right now.<BR/>I really enjoyed this entry, because people, especially those in close proximity, need to know that it isn't easy to ask for help and sometimes people need to just do things for you (i.e. my heating pad purchase and nazi nurse carol). ;)<BR/>I was also very happy to see you revisit your initial symptoms, knowing you are touching/educating/helping so many others. It is easy to forget that doctors don't know everything (sorry Dr. B) and that sometimes you have to continue to question and even push for answers. I'm glad you kept pushing. Keep up the fight.<BR/>Unless Andrea scares me again, I'll see you on either the 28th or 29th.<BR/>I love you with all of my heart.

Who would ever know all that you are going through! I want you to know my friend "the pain doc" Dan Kloster called me Mon concerned re: you. He said so many people in your situation put off a consult and suffer with whatever the pain is. That is the last thing that should be keeping you down! No matter what it is from- nobody wants you to be in pain! So whenever you are ready, if you want to see him let me know and he is happy to get you in even just to talk. I didn't want to bug you with this if you are feeling better- <BR/>You are in my thoughts and prayers day and night. I hope you can feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you and angels by your side.<BR/>Love you-<BR/>AdrianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897182093722876878.post-13156348184384763432007-04-03T16:48:00.000-05:002007-04-03T16:48:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear that you are in pain and I will be k...Sorry to hear that you are in pain and I will be keeping you in my thoughts. My Dad is a colon cancer survivor, his was caught completely by chance, and I know that I am now at 100% genetic risk for the disease which scares the hell out of me, but I am educated to watch for symptoms and will be monitored every three years as a precaution. I look forward to watching your journey and hearing your story. Sending lots of **positive** vibes your way.<BR/><BR/>Laura<BR/>Oxfordshire, U.K.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644092246028113377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897182093722876878.post-49830817657702070242007-04-03T13:24:00.000-05:002007-04-03T13:24:00.000-05:00Shawndra,I hope your PET scan went well and will s...Shawndra,<BR/>I hope your PET scan went well and will show some improvement! Hopefully, the pain is better by now and was just temporary. <BR/>I pray for every person affected by this awful disease, as well as any others, every everning. As odd as it sounds, I have also found it helpful to write our prayers in a letter to God and put it in the Bible. To me, I am physcially giving Him my prayers and getting a different sense of trust from it. (Writing, as you probably have found out by now, is very theraputic too!)<BR/>I am looking forward to meeting you at the CFC.<BR/>AlainaAlainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965876817488457573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897182093722876878.post-51433540894352857772007-04-02T18:27:00.000-05:002007-04-02T18:27:00.000-05:00Shawndra,Kendall/Shelby send a HUGE smile to you! ...Shawndra,<BR/>Kendall/Shelby send a HUGE smile to you!
