Biggest Blow to the K-Line, yet
Posted by bnsfkline on Wednesday, August 24, 2005 4:07 PM
As you all now , Sara had cancer. However.......It was to late. The autopsy came back on her amputated arm........

.....bad news, the cancer is in her blood......

.....She is now terminally ill.....

Doctors say she has about 5-6 years to live.....


This is the biggest blow to me........

My grandfather had lymphatic cancer so I am very sympathetic to your emotion pain. My only hope is that the saying alot can happen in a few years comes true and researchers finally come up with a cure.

My prayers to you and for God to give her some divine intervention.

Jim,

My dad had a rare form of cancer. The docs gave him less than 3 months to live, and he ended up making it 2.5 years, so don't always listen to doctors. I wish you and Sara all the best in her fight. You will be in my prayers.

Well,
Then thats 5 to 6 years you and Sara have to to live large...
Get after it.
Don't waste a minute of the time you have left.

Find out everything she ever wanted to do...and then make it so!

You would be surprised how much "living" we let pass us by...

My best friend's dad had a form of bone cancer and had a 4% chance of beating it, and he did. the doctors said it would never happen, but they were wrong. I hope you and sara are planning on living life to the fullest, and dont let a minute pass you by.

Live and live well.

I'm so sorry. I pray and hope that between now and then, the medical field advances to the point where a better treatment can be given to her.

MIT has just developed a new drug that if extended enough may be a cure. Go to the website www.mit.edu and possibly you can find the information that can give you and Sara some hope. This really looks like the real thing. Even in the bloodstream

Either his mom or his sis or his wife is my guess. My super guess is it his mom since she gave him her car so he can continue to railfan[:o)][:p][:)]
