Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 1,163 | Hello to all my friends at the OCF foundation. I had my first post-treatment combo PET/CAT scan last Wednesday and I will get the results this Wednesday the 18th. For some reason I am ready to accept what ever they show. I feel fine but with this type of cancer you never know!!!!
I have a request to make which is from my HEART to all the wonderful people who have helped me travel this journey. Mandi, Gary, KCDC. Judy, Donna, Karen, Packer & Dee, Debbie, Minniea, Mark,
Danny, JetAgeHobo, Rosie and Brian. My request is for each of you to say a prayer or think positive thoughts for me on Wednesday. I am truly sorry if I missed some posters as I'm sure I have.
Take Care and as always, Your Friend Danny Boy!!!!

Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,627 | I said my first prayer for you today Daniel and will keep saying them until you post and let us know all is well. I envy the incredible rush you are going to have when the doc tells you all is clean!! If only we could bottle and sell that feeling. Do the appropriate amount of worrying about the results over the next few days, but don't go overboard. I'm just so sure that you will get good news.
Love, Minnie

You are in my prayers most everyday, but definitely over the next days as you await results. I always say God must be teaching me more patience, what a hard way to get it!!
Psalms 56:3 says, "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You!" I sure have been afraid a lot lately, so I continue to try and trust God as He comforts me when I can't handle it anymore myself.
So glad to hear you are eating again and ready to get rid of the PEG!! Way to go!
Take care,
Debb

Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 189 | Dear Danny Boy, I hope you realize that you've helped me, much more, than I have you. You have always had faith in the doctors, in yourself and in the Almighty. That, with a huge love of family, and their support along the way, has assured your recovery. All I did was be your most persistant cheerleader!!!!!  These are the things that will sustain you no matter what. I love you babe, Mandi

Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 207 | Hi Daniel, I'm rather new around here, but I've definitely learned the power of prayer the past few months... Consider me part of your "prayer team" as well...
Know that God is with you no matter what happens Wednesday and that He doesn't give us more than we can handle (as I've been told a million times the past few months)... I love the part where he promises to "never leave us or forsake us..." Even knuckleheads like me... Many blessings to you...

Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 1,163 | I want to Thank all my friends at the OCF Foundation for the replies and emails I received from my posting about my scan. I can feel the good vibes and prayers coming my way. Thanks again. I wish I could meet each and every one of you some day. Wouldn't that be a great party!!!
Brian, Is there any way something like that could happen. If you were to pick a date and location far enough out I'm sure you would get a great turnout. Just a wish of mine.
Your Friend, Danny Boy
