Oh dear, Linda, I'm so sorry to hear about Chrissy. AS Jude said, cancer doesn't play favorites. Lots of hugs to you and prayers and wishes to Chrissy's family and friends, I'm sending all the strong thoughts I can for everyone, especially her children. And you, of course. Annie

(((Colleen and family))) I am glad you got to see him and that it sounds like he didn't suffer too awfully much, with it being so quick. I'm sorry to hear about this whole thing, but glad you have each other.

It's so very sad to loose a child, in any situation. I pray for her but I really don't know how one deals with this. I was thinking yesterday that I wish I had asked my mother about how she dealt with the death of my sister (16 years old). Of course I was there, but at the time I wasn't focused on my mom, it was about me dealing with it.

Just got back from the Cancer Center. The Oncologist said that "this is worrisome." He said that the mass on his kidney is not really large but he wants Jim to see a urologist.He thinks that he will have surgery rather than a biopsy.He is afraid that the biopsy will spread the cancer. They might be able to take just part of the kidney but they could take the entire kidney. Please keep the prayers going.
