Hi All,
Before I go to bed tonight (it's 10:00pm in Hawaii) I just wanted to share with you that it was 1 year ago today that after a routine colonoscopy we found out Dick had a 10cm tumor in his colon. Our world fell apart. You were there to help us put it back together. You were there answering all our questions. You were there when he was in surgery and when he came out. You were there when he started chemo.
I want to thank you for everything you have given to us during this year. You are very special people and you have made a big difference in our lives.

Mahalo and Aloha,
Kathleen and Dick

I know what you mean, we are cardinal fans and this time last year the cards were going to the super bowl in a few days , last year angel was in the hospital with that blockage and thats when they told us the end was coming, cardinals have to win the super bowl this year. I just miss angel so much, take care

I've been thinking about Dick a lot and praying that chemo kills off the wayward cells in the lymph node and that he is NED soon and forever!

Congrats on 1 year. Dick was dx'd just days after me.

Well, I've come to know you in 7 months and some change :)

Kathleen, you are so positive - I don't think I've ever heard anything negative coming from you at all - you see the world the way we should all see it.

I jumped on board about mid-way but am so proud to know you both and thanks so much for taking me along for the ride...I just know things are going to get better for Dick this year.

Thank you for being you and for all of your warmth and love that you have personally shown to everybody here - this great big wonderful family. I know - gooshy, but I can't help myself tonight...I'm having a good day.

Mahalo and Aloha,
-Craig

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Yes, the people on this board are pretty special. You have also been there for me and for many others. Thank you to you, too.

Hope you have a good night and praying for Dick, you, and the kids.
