Hi guys!

Where do I start.... Life has been really hectic these past few weeks. We found out my stepmom(Maureen) has cancer in her throat. My dad and I are the only ones who know in the family for now. I was sworn not to tell a soul. I just had to tell Jim. There are days where I just cry for her. Then there are days I'm don't believe she has cancer. I want to tell a few people, but I don't out of respect for my stepmom. It feels alittle better just being able to get things off my chest here. I do know that she will be going thru chemo(sp). Zachary keeps asking how Grandmas visit to the Dr. went. I tell him I don't know for sure. My dad is the type that keeps things bottled up inside. So I don't ike talk about it to him much. I see my stepmom everyday. We talk about it somedays. Alot of tears are shed. The biggest thing with my stepmom is she will lose her hair and the money part of this. It's not really that she has cancer it the hair and money part. I will keep you guys updated as time goes. Please keep up in your thoughts and prayers.

Susie, so sorry to hear about your stepmom. I will be praying for her and your father and the rest of your family in the days ahead.
But WOW am I glad to see you again. I was almost at the point of calling you. Will do that some day soon and we can visit. We get worried when you disappear and it is good to know that you are ok.
Keep in touch. We love you!

OH SUSIE!!!! Please know that I am praying for your stepmom, and PLEASE tell her........"HAIR GROWS BACK!" Been there, done that, twice! As far as the money situation, there are places that help financially with cancer patients. I didn't know about them at the time I went through mine, but check the internet for these services.....

Thank you guys so much. It really means alot to me. I never thought about that Rhonda. I'll have to do some research. Thank you. You right about the hair growing back. But for some odd reason that concerns her alot. I do know the her hair dresser of 15 years said that she would help her out in any way. Free of charge.

I would love to talk to you again Marilyn. :woohooo: I'll pm you my new number.

there's a place in chicago called cancer center of america

Sorry to hear about your stepmother. I'll pray for her.

Thank you so much guys. It really means alot to me. I believe in the power of prayer. Thank you for the link Charles.

your welcome susie

Where are you now Susie???

First you disappeared, then you returned and I disappeared, then I returned and now you're gone again. Please come back soon before people start to think we're one person!!!

Susie, so sorry to hear the news about your step mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Here in Britain, sometimes we don't appreciate our National Health Service but when I hear stories about you guys having to pay for life-saving treatment I for one certainly value it because we don't have to pay a penny for treatment for cancer or any other such diseases.

Just know that your friends here are on the prairie are with you and when you feel things are getting too much, we're here to share the hard times as well as the good times with you.

Take care.
