Hi: Glad to hear from you again. This is Lynn (Robbie's Mom). I often think about the people that I have read about and pray that somehow, someway, there will be a cure for this beast. Just keep hanging in there and doing what you can - you will never regret it believe me. It is very hard to watch your loved one so ill and to know that you cannot help them. I heard someone say that it was like watching a serial killer attack your loved one and that there was nothing you could do. The only thing we can do is to continue to pray, and to live each and every day to the fullest. My son always told me - one day at a time, just one day at a time. I must say that we never had films go missing but here in Canada unless something terrible (like a pulmonary embolism) shows up on the CT scan you don't get the results until your next visit with the oncologist do sometimes we had to wait for 3 weeks for news and after we heard I guess I wished it had been longer but the waiting is the worst.
Hope all goes well with your dad. Will continue to pray and to check the boards for info.
Hugs
Lynn
