Texas Yellow Fever said:Guys, I'm sorry for not posting up on this sooner. Everytime I've tried I tear up and just can't do it. The compassion that the members of this site have toward each other as well as total strangers, never ceases to amaze me and when it directly affects you it's overwhelming as many of you know. I appreciate everyone's positive energy, thoughts, prayers, and PMs etc. they have helped my family more than words can express. I am humbled and I will shut up now while I'm still (kinda) dry eyed.
Thanks to all of you.
Steve

This thread will be the first one I look at tomorrow when I get home, and I want to see an update.
Texas Yellow Fever said:Well, I was dreading this moment knowing that it would be hard to provide an update on Dad, however, I had no idea how hard it would be or why. This morning turned out to be an emotional roller coaster and I simply can't believe the miracle you guys pulled off. Contrary to every Dr's opinion/assumption Dad does NOT have colon cancer, or any other form of cancer they have been able to find so far. They continue to look, but they are running out of places to look, which by any measure is good news. They still cannot figure out why a 6' 3" man now weighs less than 130 pounds (from well over 200), but now that their cancer assumptions are falling through they're gonna have to go back and rethink their diagnosis...
Anyway, the reason that this update is still hard is knowing that all of you somehow had a huge roll in the news we got this morning and trying to find a way to express how I feel. I am so humbled and grateful I just have no words...
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. You guys have moved yet another mountain...much love and thanks to all of you.
you got it my friend, we are there for you broTexas Yellow Fever said:If you guys can find a spare moment in the next couple of days please say a prayer for my Dad, Jason. He's going in for some biopsies on Thursday morning, and of course everyone fears the worst. He's gone from about 220 lbs or so to about 130 lbs at the Dr's office today. Believe me when I say, I've hit my knees more than a few times in the last couple of days and if you guys could pitch in a little on this one I sure would appreciate it...
Texas Yellow Fever said:Thank you guys. It's been a tough week, every test known to man, still no answers, but hopefully soon and hopefully it's something that can be dealt with. He's feeling better today, he even has a cold beer in his hand and is out in the garden working, so there's still hope...

Silverback said:Over what period of time has he lost this weight Steve?
And there is nothing like a cold beer to make you feel better.
