*double-sigh*
What can I say....? They say bad news never come alone.
First) I talked to the doctor in Norway today and my dad's biopsy came back with probably the worst cancer (small cell) you can get. (In my line of work, we talk about good and bad cancers, but obviously cancer is never good news.) Second) We got the news today that also my brother (age 50) has esophageal cancer. So. Time has REALLY stopped for our family. This is the moment when you stop. And then take a deep breath and continue doing what you need to do. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.

I am so very sorry that you and your family must face this news. I understand what you are going through. One year ago this month we faced similar circumstances. It is not easy. You are so right in your thinking. You stop and pause and rest and then move forword one thought and decision at a time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you gain much strength from the love and support of your friends and family.

Thank you all.
I don't think you all quite understand the tremendous warmth and joy I get from reading your friendly comments. It is, not easy, to be this far away from my family in such times, and for the next month at least, I won't have the possibility to travel there. Here in Israel I don't have close friends, due to lack of time frankly - family and work take up too much time - and therefore - as I have mentioned before - I find so much joy in the virtual friendships I have made here at DD. It is the only place I "hang out" on the net - and it feels safe and warm here. Thank you all so much. Peace be with you all.

I'm so sad for you Alno. Living so far from family is tough in normal times, but when there's illness, it's so much more difficult.
So sorry you can't be with yours. My prayers and lots of hugs go out to you.

You mean so much to our community here at DD, Aino. We're all hurting when you hurt. I'm glad the virtual hugs help because you need support at a time like this. There are definite peaks and valleys on life's journey and you've been dealt a double blow at this time. I'm so sorry. Please, keep us posted and let us know how you're doing.
