I lost a beloved sisterinlaw to breast cancer a few years ago. You and Susan and the boys are in our prayers.

I am praying for you and your family. I am in the same situation as you are but I am the daughter taking care of her mother. My mom had breast cancer in 1976 and lived a wonderful life till 18 months ago when after 33 yrs a single breast cancer cell found it”s way to her brain. Today she is laying only 10 feet from me sleeping which she does about 20-22 hours a day. She has fever blisters on her lips and tounge and is only in pain if we touch her. I found reading your blog helpful in that I didn’t feel like our family was alone in this battle. We have been blessed to have had our mom for 33 yrs after the diagnosis of breast cancer. I too have a 14 yr old who stays with me when it’s my turn to be with my mom and his summer break has been taken away by this dreadful thing called cancer, but he says “mom don’t worry about it everything will be fine”. He talks and tells his MeMe he loves her when he’s here. Your children are blessed to have a father like you, loving and caring ever so gently for their mom. God Bless You

I just started cycling so I can participate in next year’s Livestrong Challenges, as well as other cancer-fighting events. I’m tired of seeing good people suffer and I’m tired of losing loved ones to this disease. If I can support cancer research by pedalling 100 miles or waddling through a 5K, I’ll do it. In the meantime, I ordered a couple boxes of the yellow wristbands (www.livestrong.com). Let’s get these on our friends and family. Maybe even convince a few to join the Challenge. For Susan, for those we love, maybe for ourselves, let’s do whatever it takes to cure this miserable disease. Much love to you, Fatty, to your family, and to all those affected by cancer.

You are amazing and are doing a great job. What you’re sharing with all of us is very personal and I appreciate the generosity behind it. I’m sure it does you good to vent, and to know there are people out there supporting you and praying for you and your family, but you should also know it is a gift to us. I am grateful for the chance I have to read it and be reminded daily of what is truly important in this life. Thank you.

Eldon, you are a very strong and caring man. Caring for Susan and your children during this difficult time is such a wonderful gift that you are giving your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Eldon, you rock. Your sons are can’t help but be compassionate and wonderful since they have you as a role model.

Sounds like the good vibes made it– I’m sending more out to Susan as I type this. And to you and your kids.

Stay strong, Fearless Leader. We’re with you in this fight.

Hi, Fatty, miss your blogging. Even though difficult to read, it’s even more difficult realizing why you cannot blog. Positive thoughts going Susan’s way.
