The "Thank you" thread

GirlieGirl74 said:
FG, the last time that I was there was in October. When my friends and I pulled up to the hotel, we saw people with big, heavy winter coats on. I looked at my girlfriends and told them that I knew I didn't bring anything heavy enough to wear, and they didn't either. I also couldn't get over how strong the wind was. It was like no wind that I had ever felt before. :) Definitely keep me posted on when you will be there. It would be great to get something worked out.

Thanks for the love, FG and Bookie. Dad is supposed to get his port in to do chemo next week, but right now his blood is too thin. The doctors are talking about giving him plasma to help balance it out. Apparently, the tumor is pressing on his heart, and if they try to do surgery to the lung, it will tear the pericardial lining of the heart so they are trying to shrink it with chemo. He has a rare type of lung cancer, and the chances of it shrinking with chemo is 1 in 3. The hope is that we can do chemo for 3 to 4 1/2 months, and then surgery to remove the remaining mass. We are all staying positive. My father has beaten the medical odds before, and we know that he can do it again. Thanks again for all of your concern and well wishes. It means a lot to me. :D

GG, I pray for him... May I suggest you go to clinicaltrials.gov and look at clinical trials that are up and running in your area. Just stay one step ahead and never ever falter in your conviction..... Most important of all is that for both your family and your dad. I save all my prayers!

You guys are absolutely amazing, but short of winning the lotto, I can't go.

I have $17 to my name until Friday. It wasn't until I moved back in with my parents that the reality of my financial situation truly hit me.

I truly appreciate all that you guys are trying to do to get me there, but I just can't...you can call me on the phone and you can skype me. I know, it's not the same, but I can't do anything more than that right now.

Okay, Tarshi, I'll look into it. When will you be back in LA?

GG, thanks for the update and as I told you in my rep, you and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers. And as FG said, keep one step ahead. It doesn't hurt to keep up on the latest treatments.

Bookie it hurts me to hear that you have the ticket and cannot go- . For me it's not possible, but I know, what it means to you.
Let's help you:D

Thanks for the info, FG. I checked it out and most trials are several hours from here, and I don't think that my dad is strong enough right now to do it. I took him to church yesterday, and it's 10 minutes from my parents' house. We were gone a little over an hour, and I had to help him get in bed when we got home because he was so weak. I'm definitely going to keep checking it though to see if any trials become available closer. Thank you for the rep, too. You know that I appreciate it, and the feeling is definitely mutual. ;)

Thank you for your sweet rep as well. We all have our struggles, and even though they may be different, it doesn't mean that one is any more important than another. I consider you a friend, and I'm glad that I was available to send some comforting thoughts your way. :)

Thanks for the info, Espy. i'm gonna look into some of that, cause i certainly don't want to stop running. lol :axe:

You're welcome. I've done a lot of research on natural alternatives, vitamins, herbs, etc. since I'm allergic to most medications, so if you ever want to know about something just ask. For magnesium I'd recommend you go with a Calcium + Magnesium + Vitamin D, ideally one that's got no more than 500 - 600 mg Calcium in it. The body cannot metabolize calcium efficiently without vitamin D, and it cannot metabolize more than 500-600 mg at one time, so if you take more it's just wasted. Taking 500 - 600 mg two or three times per day works best. Adding hyaluronic acid (HLA) helps with muscle stiffness and cramps too, and it's amazing for joint pain, at least it worked miracles for me. I've tested out a bunch of stuff, some works and some I found to be useless, but what I've found that works really works. If you ever want more specific info feel free to email me.
