Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 77 | I have a letter in the works that I plan to send out to everyone I have ever met, give or take. I also have all the the checks that I received from other members of the OCF. I really believe that I can raise a nice amout of money for the OCF. I intend on getting this letter out by the end of this week so it goes hand in hand with the article. And by mid-July, I hope to be able to send Brian some money.
And Jerry, if you don't know what tater tot hotdish is, you are missing out. Personally, I would take a steak over most any meal, every night of the week. Unfortunately, we are living on more of a hamburger budget over here. But tater tot hotdish is yummy. If you want the recipe, just say the word.
God Bless,
Amy

I just thought that I would share a neat thing to come out of this article. I got an email from a woman that live about 10 minutes from me. She is my age and has 4 small children. She was diagnosed tongue cancer last August, and received treatment at Mayo, just as I did. They believe that her cancer went undiagnosed for six years and by the time it was finally discovered was stage 4 and had spread to her lymph nodes. She has given me her phone number and I plan to call her very soon. She also knows another woman, in nearly the same situation that is located about 20 minutes from us.
The part that kind of gives me chills is that she hadn't received this paper for the last 9-10 months. She had just been telling her neighbor that she missed receiving it. And then the first paper she finally received was the one with this story. She believes that she was meant to see this, and so do I.
God Bless,
Amy
