My son has cancer too(Ewing's Sa...Hi, Shannon:<br /><br />My son has cancer too(Ewing's Sarcoma and has completed 9 of 14 rounds of chemo), and I happened across your blog in early December. I hope you don't mind, but this stranger has been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I was happy to see an update from you - but sorry to hear the road has been so bumpy.<br /><br />Sometimes cancer patients and families are worried about being negative - almost as if by doing so we will invite a bad outcome - and because we don't want others to worry about us. But I think (for what it's worth) that it's healthier to let it out than to hold it in!<br /><br />Hope you get to enjoy that change in scenery, and continue to keep your hair!<br /><br />God bless,<br />Marilyn Fahlman<br />Regina, SK. Canada<br /><br />P.S. As he got deeper into treatment, my son has needed several platelet transfusions and done well with them. They do need to premedicate him beforehand, or else he gets hives though! Usually the sign that tips us off that his platelets are dangerously low is he will get a nosebleed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180996639514420613.post-65196391959311555212010-01-08T14:56:55.052-05:002010-01-08T14:56:55.052-05:00If u go to La, let me know, depending on the dates...If u go to La, let me know, depending on the dates and work...I might be able to fly down and see you.Katie Jozwickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180996639514420613.post-45957449089135021942010-01-08T12:16:56.558-05:002010-01-08T12:16:56.558-05:00Hi Shannon:

Dre and I have been thinking about you a lot.<br /><br /> Thank you for the wonderful organic changing pads and covers for Lucas! He will certainly try to pee on them but that's the only trick he knows so far. <br /><br />We'll be out at the end of March, so we'll have to get together then. In the meantime, a trip to LA sounds like a perfect remedy.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />David and AdrienneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180996639514420613.post-33346425892165242362010-01-08T11:38:24.126-05:002010-01-08T11:38:24.126-05:00Shannon: My heart is sad to hear of your trials.

(Seasonal Affective Disorder) light bulbs. They mimic the sun and make you feel better. You need about 16 hours of light for your body to think it is summer. That's what we do with the horse to trick them into not growing a winter coat and so we can breed them in Feb. :) I really like your blog no matter; happy or sad, funny or mad. There are a lot of people praying for you.Ericanoreply@blogger.com
