Hang in there, old dude, we want you to have enough strength so that after the winter thaw you will be ready to split a few fairways with your driver. It is just now getting to be great golf weather down here in Texas.
My wife and I just returned from a Mediteranean cruise and I have been completely out of touch and I wanted you other live ones to know that I am alive and well, as well!
Stay well Danny Boy,
Danny G.

Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 189 | Dear Danny, You've floored me once again with your loving soul!!!!! Just so everyone else is on the same page, a couple of weeks ago, I made a comment to Danny about the cheese curds, or "turds", (as Danny and my boys so like to refer to them), that he sent us while Dennis was in treatment. My family loved them, and I was wondering where I might order more from Maryland. Yesterday I came home to a UPS package.....straight from Danny, filled with the most aromatic, tasty cheeses you've ever experienced. Straight from the cow! Boy, I love you so much. If you ever need me for anything.....please just pick up the phone or email me. I'll be there for you anyway I can. You are the lesson I was sent here to learn. Being your friend has enriched my life in ways you will never understand. One day we WILL break that bread...........it may be with the angels.........but they will rejoice the meeting of two kindred souls along with us! You are one of a kind Danny Boy, I love you, Mandi

The PEG was the least troublesome part of my treatment, I hope it's the same for you. I'm sorry you had to have it re-inserted but glad that it's available and will help you with the weight issues.
I think of you daily.
Love,
Minnie

Thank you so much for helping me out when I first posted. My husband is almost done with the chemo and radiation (another week or so). When I first joined this forum you were one of the first people to respond and reassure. I know that my husband and myself wouldn't have been able to get this far if it wasn't for you and your encouragement. Keep on fighting and please know that we're cheering for you. You've been an inspiration to alot of people, like me that often just read and don't post alot. I'll be thinking of you trying to fatten up as I try to fatten my husband too. Thanks again for everything, Denise
husb dx 6/05 SCC base of tongue, neck dissection 8/05, 38 rads, 6 cisplatin chemo, completed 11/18/05 yeah!

You have inspired me with your courage & grace. You are an inspiration on how to live life in the face of adversity. I don't have cancer but there are days when I need inspiration and you are a terrific source! You have been very helpful & sharing. I read your posts and am inspired, you are very open and optimistic! Thanks you and keep fighting - Candace
