Hi Everyone!

Well Christmas and New Years came and went, not the usual way, but we had Family near. :)
Thank you to all those who phoned to check up on us, means a lot!
I really want to thank everyone who helped us out with the Auction Funds and even Money just showing up in Paypal !
Sometimes not even knowing who deposited it. This place sometimes really amazes me!
There are a tremendous amount of very concerned and generous people on here! 8)
I went through a rough patch making sure Tracey had what she needed, more important to me than my health and pain.
And you people turn around and make sure I'm taken care of! Just amazing!!! :oops: :)
Tracey is going to be going for her last Chemo treatment on Friday!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Then she has to wait 3 weeks, then she has 25 rounds of Radiation!
She is so happy to be finishing her Chemo!!!
It has really done a number on her, weight, hair, stress, energy, etc.... That Crap is "BAD"!!!! I would have gave anything to go through it for her. Anything!!! She is all I live for, and has kept me in line, and took care of me during my bad times. She never did or had anything all her life, THEN WHAM!
She gets hit with this! Not Fair!
Tracey I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF!
Anyway, I wanted everyone here to know how its going here right now. We are alive, fighting, hopefully winning, and will check back again soon.

Thank you All!!

Big John

Big John, I've never had the pleasure of meeting you sir, or even reading any of your posts but from the forum I can see why you are so well talked about and your famous arrow making skills. I hope sir all works out for you and your wife, I 'd be lost without mine. Best wishes to you sir......

John it is great to see Tracy and you are keeping your spirits up during this fight. Yes chemo is one nasty drug. I have seen what it can do to family members, but without it, it will be worse.

Please tell Tracy and the girls that myself and everyone here are thinking of her and the family and keeping her in our prayers.

John,
There appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. As encouragement, my wife is now 11 years with good check ups. 8 chemo treatments and 40 radiation : seemed like forever. Your "forever" will soon be over! From here on out, every day will will be brighter, will be more cherished, you'll be drawn closer.....
Good to see you posting again.
