Joined: May 2009 Posts: 114 | Really glad to see you Jim and Merry Christmas. I got a little frustrated and dropped from the board around the time you were missing in action  Jim. I really want to thank you for the conversation and help you provide on the board. I eagerly look to hear what's on your mind and how you provide help by example and experience. Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Jim and the rest of the great communicators here on the OCF discussion board. I've missed you, and realise my foolishness in thinking I had to "do Cancer" by myself.

Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 179 | Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! This past year has been challenging... it was right before last Christmas Dad was diagnosed. I am happy to say after seeing him yesterday, that he is still Cancer free. He is doing well. His voice is still not back to what it was, and probably never will be. He is still having trouble swallowing, eating and drinking, but he takes it slow and knows his limitations. Thank you everyone for always being supportive! It means the world to me and my family! 2010 will be a great year!
Blessings!
