Please send all dedications, and pictures here!
Here is a touching email I received that I had to share...
There is a guy that works across the hall from me, Mr Eric Niles he has
a back, went to all the dr's & they said they could not find anything wrong with him, they did a MRI and found a
mass on his spine, as well as one on his lung. He is under going all treatments, chemo, radiation...and unfortunately I think
it is all wearing him down. He's the jokester of the office and is having trouble joking these days. Please add him,
as well as a former co-worker who lost her battle to colon cancer, Judy Mouillet, she lost her heroic battle after 12 years
of fighting it, going into reimmission, just to have to have it redevelope so quickly, she was like my mom at work, she taught
me the ropes, Both these individuals work with Superior Energy Services in Harvey, La. Maybe One day they will find a cure....
Well this toughed my heart enough to post this on my site....I do hope some day
we can lick this cancer thing....with a prayer!
Hi Becky
Thank you so much for listening to me last night. After I pulled myself
together about 1:30 A.M.
doing
biopsy(spelled wrong) next week and send it to the cancer DR and we will know more then. Her name is Brenda Darling Anderson.
She lives in Midland but I don't know her address but can take you to her I have never been good with address but know where
to go. I know what you mean about watching your sister in law die I did also I think Brenda's mother died in March 21,97 and
it was sooooooo hard. My brother and her married she was 14 so she just grew up with us as a sister. She would tell me Diane
it isn't hard to die it is just hard to get there. and of course all I could think of was How she laid dying she put her arms
cross and told us she loved us. I remember taking her for treatment and her begin so sick that all the way home she would
throw up and that was a long way home. anyway thanks for
adding Brenda to your list. ITake care and remember that God loves
you and I know he loves the work that
you are doing for BC your SP Diane
I came across your website and saw where you wanted people to send in their info
if they have or have had Cancer. I am 32 and found out in 2002 I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma - I was in the advanced stages
when it was discovered and underwent 72 Chemo therapy treatments and a Stem Cell transplant and I have been in remission 11
months!!! I was told my chances we slim, I decided that I was going to beat this and I did. I will celebrate my
5 year anniversary with my husband on Jan. 3, 2005 and we have a Beautiful little girl that turned 4 not long ago. Thank
you for all you are doing - Cancer does not discriminate - It affects all of us!
I am sending you a few pictures of when I was going through treatment, one with
my family, Jerome, Kendall and myself & one from a trip we took to Cancun! One thing Cancer has done for me
and that is to show me how Precious Life is and that we need to Cherish every minute - Kiss our kids every chance we get,
tell our loved ones "I LOVE YOU", go on vacation, spend time with grandparents, parents, friends, mend relationships
that have had trouble and Be Strong!
Thank you,
Jenney Karasek

These are my grandparents on my mothers side, they raised my sister and I. I can't remember a time when they were not
around to see us. They were married almost 60 years when he passed away from a heart attack before the cancer had spread to
far.. You don't hear to often that a man gets breast cancer but he did, and was to ashamed to tell someone till it was almost
to late. If he taught me anything it was that you love unconditionally, because they don't make people like this, he never
said anything negative, nor did he hurt anyone, if there was something he could do for someone he was there...I loved him
dearly! He was the only one in his family way back then to complete high school, he graduated back in 1919. I was given his
high school ring which i cherish dearly, he would tell me stories of when he was young/, we would talk for hours. I can't
remember a time when I didn't want to hear what he said. My favorite memory was watch Waltons with him no thursday nights,
because this reminded him of home. He father was one of the first people in Lafayette to own a television. I know that
kids today don't like to hear all that but i can tell you I always listen to him because he was just so special....I love
you popo!
She was one would call the family peace keeper, she held us together. She fought colon cancer for years, she finally
passed away in her sleep back in Feb, 2004, I can tell you I loved him but I miss her in my soul. When life got to be bad
I would go and visit her, get regrounded. She just knew the right things to say, When he passed away , we thought that she
would bounce back but with that kind of love you don't just bounce back, she never was the same again. She loved him with
all her heart..Seems like i spent more time with her and him than anyone else. You know I used to say that as long as I was
with them there was nothing bad in this world could hurt me, I hope that I am half the grandmother she was...These are big
shoes to fill...I miss her with all my soul...
Well I am sure that someone has a grandmother or person like this...
send them to us and we can post them here....times like this is when we get close and share the memories....

| Recently Lost his battle with Cancer! |
His name was Julian Clegg. He was born 11/29/30 and died 12/03/04
of Lung Cancer. He and my grandmother would have been married 55 years on Christmas Eve. He had been sick for
the past 10 years with strokes and circulation problems in his legs. In recent years, he began to show signs of Alzheimer's.
He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer the week before Thanksgiving this year and was given a life expectancy of 6-12 months.
Within 2 1/2 weeks, he was gone. He never suffered and never needed any pain medication or oxygen. I was with
him 2 hours before he died and he was unresponsive and very shaky. I went home and received a call at midnight that
he had passed. My grandfather was a very special person to me. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and
great-grandfather to my children. My son, Alex, called him "Paw Paw Ju".
