didn't even know the date, and it doesn't matter cause ANY day is a great day when you get fantastic news like that.

How long you two guys been together drf???? Looks like whatever the answer is, it's gonna be a bit longer now which is just dandy!

Dr F,

Sorry I am very late to this thread. I am glad to read the news from today. Your wife and you will be in my prayers.

**rcarlton** · **07-14-07, 12:52 PM**

Terrific news!

**drf** · **07-16-07, 05:17 AM**

We have been together for over 10 years now. Thank you everyone, It puts a smile on her face when I tell her there are home theatre nuts all over the world prying for her.

**terry j** · **07-16-07, 07:11 AM**

nah, we don't pry, after all you invited us into your life ha ha!

good news tho.

**Tiddler** · **07-16-07, 11:30 PM**

I'm so glad to hear things are going well!

drf,

I know I am late But I have to tell you how much I am glad to hear that everything is going better for you. Not one here knows what you and your Mrs has gone through over the past month or so because everyone goes through things differently, But I can tell, after reading through this thread that you and your Mrs are very strong people and you can bet that everyone here at Home Theater Shack are with you in this delema you find yourselves in. Anything you need, any time you need to talk to someone,we are here for you.

Thanks Don, It has been a little while since I last updated this thread, but I am glad to know people are still reading it and care. Today was the last day of chemo treatment, we don't know if there will be a need for more or not so from here on in it is just one day at a time. She needs to have surgery to remove the primary tumer, then after that it is all upto God.

Once again thankyou everyone, I will keep updating this thread as it happens, however for the next few monthes we are hoping it will happen very slowely.

**Tiddler** · **08-03-07, 11:05 AM**

drf,

Just thought I would tell you something you may not realize.

By sharing your situation with us, and the many good folks here expressing their interest and support, this thread has become a real source of inspiration and a reaffirmation that there are a lot of good hearted and admirable people in every corner of this world. At least for me it has anyway.

You and your wife are often in my thoughts. I look forward to hearing more good news. I second Don's sentiment that we are here and if there is anything you need or just need to vent, please do so knowing there are many here just waiting to help you shoulder this load in whatever small way that we can.

In the meantime make sure you do these things several times every day.

Keep us posted!

**drf** · **08-03-07, 04:44 PM**

I will, The final round of Chemo has finally finished so now its justhe waiting game until thew doc says its time to do something else.

Thank you all.

**Tiddler** · **09-10-07, 07:54 PM**

How about an update!

**drf** · **09-12-07, 05:23 AM**

Sorry, a few things have happened which is why I haven't been around much recently. I was going to update this thread a little later but now is as good a time as any.

a couple of weeks ago She felt dizzy and kept loosing here balance. The doc rushed into hospital for a brain CT scan and blood tests fearing that it might be a tumor. After 12 hours being forgoten then remembered then moved then tested then forgoten again (all in the hospital waiting room), it turned out she is cancer free (TOTALLY)

. However she did have an inner ear infection that was causing the balance issues so they gave her a shot to boost her immune system, unfortunately they gave her an injection that was high in sulphers (which she is allergic to) which knocked her around quite serverely for a week and a half. Oh well you can't win them all!!

big cheeryO to all who read this

**terry j** · **09-12-07, 05:50 AM**

excellent news, are they worried that it might return or is it now under control?

**Sonnie** · **09-12-07, 11:37 AM**

Wonderful and most excellent news doc...

**JCD** · **09-12-07, 05:42 PM**

yes, they believe it is terminal and will return. We, however don't believe this, I believe we will both see retirement. Just a gut feeling. Also the treatement only took half the time to kill all the cancer with only 10%of the expected side effects. Also the oncologist ( a hardened, poker faced specialist) couldn't hide his confusion at how fast the healing was.

All props to the big man upstairs and his legion of warriors on HTS!!

**Tiddler** · **09-14-07, 02:57 PM**

Great to hear such good news!

I like your attitude! Never Surrender!

As always don't forget . . .

**drf** · **11-14-07, 12:43 AM**

Well things have had a turn, (more of an altercation) for the worse (maybe). Although we are told she is still in remmision, her health has gone downhill very fast, she has no energy and is very tired and dizzy. Her doctor keeps prescribing anti-biotics saying it is an infection but there seems to be no let up.

Any prayers or thoughts would be appreciated, thank you.

**Sonnie** · **11-14-07, 12:57 AM**

You got it...

**Scuba Diver** · **11-14-07, 01:22 AM**

I lost my mom a couple years ago to cancer. I know how hard it is to see someone you care about sick and feeling so helpless. At times it can drain everything out of you. I want you and your wife to know that both of you are in my thoughs and prayers.

Thankyou, this certainly explains my unusual lack of energy over the last week.

**terry j** · **11-14-07, 02:56 AM**

of course you would be affected.

However, if the doctors say it's something other than the cancer returning (is that what you meant) then until you know otherwise accept that and try not to imagine things as worse. Hard I know (well I think I do) but you need to be as strong as you can for both your sakes, so fruitless worrying and thinking things are worse than they are is no good for anyone.

I most certainly do hope it's just an infection.

Will do, I hope and pray that everything goes well.

**Prof.** · **11-14-07, 06:24 PM**

Drf...At times like this, you need help...and the only real help you can get is from God..
If you really believe that God can help you and cure your wife of this terrible disease, then I employ you to cry out to God with FERVENT prayer, and do this on a daily basis..
If it is His Will, He will hear you and completely heal your wife..
I will also pray for you both..
