Re: Keeper of the Stars has a funny sense of humor....

[Guest guest]

You didn't sign your post, so I don't know who you are. But I want to ask

you why you have resigned yourself to not living beyond 3 months. An enlarged

liver? I too had that with a 4 cm. tumor. But it is gone now. Where are

you in your treatment? Did you have surgery or chemo? No ones really knows

when we are going to leave this earth until we are really in the throes of

dying. It sounds like you aren't there yet. Have you had a second opinion?

Don't give up so fast.

[Guest guest]

I don't post often either but read all the posts and yours really got my

attention. Did they tell you why your liver was enlarged? Please don't give up

and get a second opinion ASAP. I had a enlarged liver and it had nothing to do

with cancer fortunately. A change in my diet and I no longer have a enlarged

liver just a few strings of fat show up now.

Re: Keeper of the Stars has a funny sense of

humor....

Happy Thanksgiving group. I wanted to share this with you, I don't get on line

often but it's a sweet feeling when I do . I love all the e-mails from the group

talking about thier fight and about the loves of thier life, and family . Who

would have thought that cancer patients could find so much love and

understanding from people in this world that may be thousands of miles away and

never have the chance to met them. This group is what everyone needs that is

going thoug this and anyother kind of cancer.

Like I said earlyer , I don't get on much and I " m not one to e-mail back

often. I do need to share with someone the update that the doctors gave me a

month ago. It seems that my liver is enlarge... yes we all know what that means.

I feel ok ..other then getting sad from time to time with the thoughts of losing

my family..or let me refrase that leaving my family behinde. I too have found

the love that I was looking for ...he's understanding , caring , loving and

knows what to say on my days that I just can't seem to go on. He's truely a

great dear friend ..and we both know that nothing can come of this but we deal

with the part of friendship that we can have.

Now that it's getting closer to Christmas I know deep in my heart that I may

not be here. With the liver failing I only have a few months , 3 as a matter of

fact from the doctors. I just want to let you all know that my prays and

thoughts are with each of you , even thoug I haven't talk to all of you

....remember my family Please. And never give up HOPE and Love.

Wishing you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING and A MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO .

understand how you have felt for Glenn. God Bless both of YOU!!!!

Anyone ever heard the song " Keeper of the Stars " by Byrd, a country

with

THE KEEPER OF THE STARS ( Byrd)

It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

Now I just can't believe you're in my life

Heaven's smilin' down on me

As I look at you tonight

CHORUS:

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars

He sure knew what he was doin'

When he joined these two hearts

I hold everything

When I hold you in my arms

I've got all I'll ever need

Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine

It takes my breath away

Just to look into your eyes

I know I don't deserve a treasure like you

There really are no words

To show my gratitude

REPEAT CHORUS

It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn
