Tom,

I'm sure you have heard this before but at times like these, the following is a comfort to me:

The will of God will not take you where the grace of God cannot keep you.

My prayers will be with you both.

John
 
Tom, our best thoughts are with you both also, and I hope it is a case,that it was found early and can be treated and not be a problem in the future. Dave
 
Hi all little update, we are still waiting for a referral to a specialist. The doctor here is trying to get us into one in Seattle due to the Cancer being on her tongue. The fact is starting to settle in, yet at least my emotions are still one way or another, she is doing a better job of hiding them I guess.

We are going to attend a wedding this weekend, as I am the best man and we are not telling the bride and groom until after. We don't want to cast a cloud over their day.


Thank you all for the responses, emails, calls and Dario thanks for what you are sending her. I told her about it and she said she would have it with her everyday. Its funny I always thought it would be me with some major health problem, with having asthma and taking steroids for it, being "slightly" high strung (she might say more then slightly), the type of work I do or just my age.
 
Hello, this is Mrs. Airrat. I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, well-wishes, calls, emails, gift (thank you, Dario), and everything else. I have truly been touched by the outpouring of support for both Airrat and myself. I do appreciate it immensely.

My spirits are high, and my outlook is as positive as always. The only part that is bothering me at the moment is the waiting game until we hear from my doctor about the specialist(s) he is recommending.. Then, we move forward with a game plan!

Thank you all again so much!

~Kelly (Mrs. Airrat)
 
Hi Kelly,

God bless you for your spirit and attitude. I had cancer twice, 20 years ago, attitude and enjoying every day was a key for me. My wife is a dental hygeinist, she has read this series of posts and has seen a few people in her 20 year career go thought this. She said you are going about it in the right way, You are doing the right things and keeping your head up will help as you are doing.

We are praying for you both, you will be in our thoughts!
 
We are back from the wedding in Seattle, we tried to not let anyone know until after the wedding. Kelly finally broke down toward the latter part of the evening and I had to break it to my friend the groom. He told his wife later that night so she would understand. We then spent the next day with them in Seattle taking our minds off the situation and trying to figure out how people in Washington took all the blue out of the sky and where they hid the sun. :D

I am letting her decide what center she wants to go to. My company is signed up with a Cancer Resource Center at United Health Care and they told her which ones we have coverage at. The top two were Sloan Kettering in NY and MD Anderson in TX. She is considering MD Anderson, she likes the location and has heard me talk about Houston, we have been researching the center too. It will be easier for us to travel there then to NY since my work (Southwest Airlines) is going to guarantee us seats for all travel. We would normally fly free but, it would be space available and I just do not want to chance that. I was going to pay for the travel until my station manager called me into his office and told me that was unacceptable. SWA is picking that up for you, just give notice of when you have to fly and where.

So now we just need to see what the next step is with the Cancer Resource Center and go from there.

Dario we got the St. Peregrine Relic today when we got back. She had the envelope opened before we pulled into the drive. I cannot explain what I saw in her face but my eyes water thinking about it. Cav (William) Kelly calls you by your living name, she askes me everyday if I have received any new emails from you. Thank you my friends one day I hope we can thank you in person.

Thank you again for all the support, emails and phone calls we have received from everyone. I will update once we go in and find out where everything stands. We still do not know how far the cancer is and are praying for the best.

Tom, Kelly and Sean

I would like to send our love and best wishes to you both and also to your parents and families! It can be beaten in this modern day. We sadly lost our 38yr old daughter 5 years ago but she gave up her place for a wonderful Grand Daughter who is now 6yrs old. Our prayers are with you.

Hey Tom,

A friend of mine went through Anderson in Tx a few years ago with his cancer. He could not say enough positive things about them and how he was treated, from his surgeries to his recovery, it was top notch. Let me know if you want to hook up with him.

Prayers are with you all the time...
 
Tom, as I mentioned in my email this morning I believe MD Anderson is a great place to go. I will also keep you up on my old roommate who is having the same surgery.

I took the liberty of adding Kelly to the prayer list at my assistant's church.

Hang in there and keep us posted.
