Dear Randy: I love reading your posts/blog. You are such an eloquent writer (and there are some humorous tidbits too). You are in our thoughts and prayers. Remember through this whole journey to take special moments to have some fun if you can – movie nights, date nights – even pizza nights with the kids. Now that the weather is getting warmer – get out and enjoy nature – its good for the body and soul. Hug your pets too! I look forward to your next post! Sending you positive thoughts and prayers!

Randy: I have read 2 of your cancer blogs now and thank you for being so forthright and clear about the stages you have walked through so far. All of us appreciate and most of us have experienced in our families the way cancer can take over lives. I have a specific in mind: a friend who 2 years ago endured a 22 hour operation to deal with a severe form of intestinal cancer centered near his stomach. A guy who hadn’t been in the hospital a day in his life and was an athelete in university. Greatest news ever this week is that he is in remission and cured. So miracles are still alive and well and people have the tenacity and perseverance and enough positives in their lives to surround themselves with the will to win and kick it in the ass.
Thank you again for your powerful words: they mean a lot to many and give hope to many who may have little. Our prayers, thoughts and very best wishes to you and your family!

Randy…thank you so much for sharing! The Big C has affected many of us and I see your blog as a reality check on this subject. I admire your courage to write it out. I feel for u and family..in my thots and prayers. Yes, I have sadness too but I, like you, prefer to be positive for anyone going through this life changing experience. Time to reexamine your life and goals and express love for those close to you. Hugs, Randy, from me 🙂
