Well, for all of you who followed Packer`s progress, last cat scan showed 16mm lesion near shenoid sinus......of course ENT is on vacation and I have tried for 3 days to have an associate look at it.......LOL.......no one wants to bother.......Franks wound has really started to bleed more...........so, unless I can get him in sooner, we have a consult with Dana Farber next Thursday..................so all please include Packer in your prayers.............5 years of this shit, really takes it`s toll.........Dee

Dee,
I'm not sure if I'm overstepping here but A friend of mine sent this to me and I think it is particularly comforting. I thought of both of youa nd wanted to share it:

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

My prayers are with you both.

Amy, that is beautiful. Thank you so much for posting it.

Dear Dee,
I can feel your exhaustion and relate....by 1/5 at least. We are a year out and things aren't good. You have had so much strength through this, that I worry for your health. Please try to rest (yeah, right, I know). And try to remember, that for WHATEVER reason, we were chosen to follow this path. If nothing more, to find courage from people like you, and hopefully share it with others.
Please email me, if you need someone to talk to.
Love,
Mandi

Dear Dee,

I am so sorry to hear that Frank is having problems again. I have followed his progress from the time I found this board a little over a year agao and the two of your are the bravest, most inspiring people on this board. His courage alone has to have helped many get through their own trials. We are all praying for the both of you. Keep us posted on his progress.

frank and I both thank everyone for their kind words. We went to dana farber yesterday, and now the word is paliative........tumor is inoperable, looks like chemo, unless they can pinpoint more rad. we wait til sept 10th for pet, cat, etc......unfortunately, it`s the only way to know it`s ca, to deep to biopsy, so we have to check to see if it`s still growing. So, I guess it`s one precious day at a time now.......please keep us in your prayers..........Dee

Dee,

You and Frank are not far from my thoughts daily. Please know that there is a whole group of people out here that care and wish only the very best for you both.

God bless you.
Dinah

Dee and Frank, count me as one of Dinah's whole group of people. I have just read about all kinds of new chemo drugs, so I think that is a viable option. Never, never abandon hope!
Joanna

Dee and Frank you both are in my thoughts every day. Each morning the first thing I do is check the website for any updates. I for one am saying a prayer every day for Frank. I will continue to pray for you every day. God Bless you both.

Dee and Frank..........My thoughts are with you during this next go-round. When the going gets tough, the tough get going -- you've proved this more than one time. Never give up hope! We're all here rooting for you both. SIncerely, Donna
