Thanks so much for all your words of encouragement and prayers...they ALL work!

Don is getting weaker and weaker, and more and more depressed just sitting waiting for the insurance to approve the bone marrow transplant. He is also worried that the tonsil cancer that moved to his lungs is getting worse (though the xrays & CT scans of his chest show it is not growing). I try to encourage him but I know these are normal feelings when the cancer is still there and all you are doing is sitting at home waiting...it is always much easier to be "fighting" with the chemo, etc.

Please continue the prayers and please let anyone you know who may have had a similar experience to contact me via this website.

Hope 2006 is a great year for all of you. Lorie
