Jack........My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 yrs ago.........they were going to surgically remove part of her left lung when the surgeon opened her up he found cancer in her lymph nodes so he called off the surgery right then and there. She proceeded to go thru chemo and radiation twice after that. She was weak for a while but has been doing well since and so far the cancer has not reappeared. One thing I have learned thru this whole ordeal is that no one really knows for sure whats going to happen.......not doctors.........so dont lose faith no matter what the news is. I will pray for your father and the card will be sent. God Bless

Jack,

I'm terribly sorry to hear this news. Will keep you, your father and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Both of my grandparents passed from cancer, so I know what you must be going through. Keep your head up, young man.

card in the mail tomorrow

card in the mail tomorrow

tho not large of stature, your dad sure has a quiet but notable presence at the Superbowl Parties; I expect more will experience this in the future.

on those "35% and 25%" cancer survival statistics, this is one of the best and most humane pieces ever written to explain it all..................http://cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html

our prayers and condolences go out....

Jack,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Stay strong and positive.... I will send a card to your Dad.

Hope things are improving

and he is receiving what we've sent

 

[MadJack]

cards are coming in but since i had to drive back yesterday and i wont be there for awhile to see who they're from and since i dont want to miss anybody that sent one i'll just thank you all as a group.

THANK YOU ALL!

i will say the first 2 that made it there were from ndnfan and scott-atlanta. he got 15 yesterday but i wasnt there to see who they were from.

still not too late to send one either.

tomorrow he goes for the brain scan to see if it has reached the brain. it'll be horrible news if it reached the brain but i'm hoping and praying it hasn't gotten that far.

THEN, we find out what the treatment plans are. it looks like surgery is out and they'll do chemo and radiation.

he's really down but the phone calls, visitors, and cards really do cheer him up and temporarily keep his mind away from the depressing thoughts he has going on in his mind.

thanks a ton for all the support.

i'll answer all the email i have received but i havent spent much time online since tuesday and i am swamped.

MJ and MJ SR: Just come across this post. It is not a good topic of mine as I lost my dad to this chit almost 10 years ago. My card will be mailed out tomorrow. You guys are in my prayers and will be getting a hold of you 2 asap. Be strong.

Whatever Jack Sr. is up against, my money's on "The Man." Jack is tough as mails and can beat anything he's up against. One more card is coming -- they may need to hire a new postman on Jack's mail route.

Regards,

Nolan Dalla

update:

cancer is NOT to the brain! whew!

he'll be going for radiation and chemo soon. chemo 2 days a week and radiation 5 days a week. this will continue for about 6 weeks. the dr says the treatments WILL WORK to, at least, stop the cancer from growing. there is a possibility the treatments will cure him of this nasty bug. time will tell but dad was feeling good after his visit with the dr today.

AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE CARDS!!

i'll let you know more when i know more.
