Hey you guys, thanks one and all for all your good wishes and sharing in my happiness about Bert and my good colonoscopy outcome. Kanga, your hugs will be given to Bert and my mom as soon as she gets back from Europe (gosh, if someone would have told me two years ago that my lung cancer mom would be trooping around Europe in two years, I would have never believed it...just goes to show you what a little hope and faith and fierce fighting can do). Bert ain't out of the woods yet, but he's walking the right path and mom, I pray, won't go any deeper into the woods.

Anyways, you are all super!!!! Sue, about Bob. I am so sorry that he's down, depressed, and quiet but you know, he probably has many things going through his mind right now and is finding it perhaps a little difficult to deal with. Men don't always want to talk about it like we "women folk" do (not all men, but many). Give him some time...he'll come round. I withdrew completely when Bert was diagnosed...except for poking my nose into everything dealing with lung and colon cancer, I was non-existent. It was my son who pulled me out...he flat out told me through tears that he needs me for if something were to happen to me too, he'd be all alone. That, coming from a 27 year old (yes, he's single and he's my only one) kind of shook me. Bob will pull out of this too, and when he does, he'll come out fighting like a tiger. If not, perhaps counseling wouldn't be a bad idea.

Hugs to you all,
Monika who visits frequently but doesn't always post...forgive her for that :)

    Hi Monika,

    It was so good to hear Bert's good news and your own colonoscopy results. I remembered that Bert was having his tests done the week before my husband Mike. Mine had a CEA done last week and it is fine, so now he has another CT scan in January. So, another couple of months to relax again before the next stress test!! Your mother is doing well too...must be the positive instincts that run through the family!

    Good luck to you....and all of us! I hope our posts give hope to those who wonder if their loved ones will ever get out of this nighmare. We all went through the bad dream and have recurring flashbacks but we have come a long way, as I am sure you will agree.
