	Lainey	Oh the fear of the unknown is enormous... This poem hints of the path that lays ahead,  and the shadows that surround. Very moving poem Don... I am so sorry for this news for you. I wish for you some good news in the dawn. xoox Elaine   Posted by Lainey on October 13, 2009 - Tuesday - 5:41 AM [Reply to this]

	Don MacIver...Poetry; One Vision Don MacIver	Bless your heart Elaine. At least we are seeing things detected early and that is usually a good start. I can only hope the odds are in Andrea's favour. Her family has seen their way through this several times before. My hopes are high and positive. Hugs.   Posted by Don MacIver...Poetry; One Vision on October 13, 2009 - Tuesday - 5:47 AM [Reply to this]

	Marilyn M Marilyn M Milner	Don, I'm so sorry to hear the news about your wife.  As you said though, since it was caught early, her chances of a quick & complete recovery are excellent.  I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.   Posted by Marilyn M on October 13, 2009 - Tuesday - 12:22 PM [Reply to this]

	Don MacIver...Poetry; One Vision Don MacIver	Jan, bless your heart for such kindness.

	James Jim O	Good one my friend. Since I was diagnosed with chronic lymphoma three years ago I have spent a lot of time denying, being angry, regretting, and most of all hoping. So far so good.   Posted by James on October 14, 2009 - Wednesday - 11:02 AM [Reply to this]

	Don MacIver...Poetry; One Vision Don MacIver	Thank you Jim. And you keep hanging on to those good, positive thoughts. Hope is a powerful value, a belief that you need to embrace with all that you possess within you.
