The First is always the hardest...

First post. Where do I begin? I'll start off with a little background, I guess. I have started this blog as a way to follow my recent diagnosis with cancer. I hope to maintain this site to provide a record of my symptoms for myself, as well as a way to keep friends and family updated on my progress. I would like for this to be detailed enough so that others going through the same process may benefit from my writing, and maybe get some advice from others who may stumble across it.

Bradley and Marissa,

I work with at Nissan, and sometimes have contact with Bill Dycus. I just want you to know that you both will be in my prayers, and I will add you to our prayer list at church. God is awesome, and he's still in the miracle working business. Stay strong, and keep the faith.

hey guys i was glad to hear you got started. rome wasnt built in a day, but ol romulus took his plow out to the field cut a circle in the grass and said "here is where ill build my city". so, on one day he got started. we all miss you guys and believe in your recovery and return.
as always just let us know what it is you need and we will make it happen.

Hey guys, after reading fridays blog I cant believe that your heart is as big as it is. I think any body who would willingly take from cancer patients should choke on rats. But you still have it in your heart to feel for their despeation, you are a good man Bradley. Well it has been a couple of days of therapy and I hope you are feeling the relief the doctors promsed you. I hope the HVAC guys came through for you, I know its hot down there. Take care and know we miss you two, and cant wait for you to get home

Nathan said...

Bradley you sound great, its great to hear ya man. Im glad you had a good day, hang in there, we all miss you here. Get better, and get home.

Hey man nothing new, I hung out with Squackers and worked on a term paper tday. Its still feels hotter than blazes, but no real humidity. I cant get by the house till friday, butMrs Babette watches the place like a hawk. And she looks after the fish. I meant to tell you when I showed up last week @ about seven thirty am. she appeared in the drive way before I had the truck in park. If it happens @ your house she sees it. No kidding. Well I hope you have a good day, I know its easy for me to say, but every day is a step closer to getting back home. Hang in there man, we all miss you, the hole in our lives wont be filled until you guys get back. .......call if you need any thing, we'll be here with the light on for ya

Nathan said...

Good morning I hope you had a few more messages in the box ths morning. Ther is nothing new goin on here. Im headed out to the house when the Meags gets home (about 1pm), so Ill call when I get there. I sure hope you are getting some relief in your legs. Make sure you are doing what they tell you to do at home, hug Marissa, and know we are all missing you guys. Nothing will be normal until you guys get home. So keep fighting the fight, for all of us.
Love, positive vibes, and prayers-n8

P.S. Jack says "laler laler laler laler!"

Nathan said...

Well its the start of another week. This is one more week closer to getting home! Maison and I went up to Rabun County for Jessie's bachlor party. The lake and surrounding country is absolutly beautiful. Thats where we are taking you fishing when you get home. I couldnt help thinking how much you would have loved those mountians, the air is sweet and hundred year old hemlocks and rododendrums (sp?) every where you look. You will love it up there.
Im glad you got to see your friends over the weekend, I know its a long trip from TN. I'm sure you guys had a good time. Well its back to the grind for all of us. Just keep up that fighting attitude, we all miss you and are always eager for news. So hang in there and know you guys are constant in our thoughts and prayers. Let me know what you need and I'll handle it!

Nathan said...

Hey man, sorry it took me so long to get another message to ya. School is keeping me busy, but I sure was glad to talk to you last night. You sound better than ever! I went to sleep feeling good for the first time scince you two left town. I am spending every spare thought and bit of brain power on thinking about Thursday. I know it will be good news, I just know it. I know its hard, waiting, on both of you, but just keep up with the positive. Pretty soon you will be at home and watching your grass grow. I just know it. Well you arent missing much, but we sure miss you guys. Hang in there keep fighting, and we will see you both home soon. We all miss you two, and believe in you. Dont forget to hug Marissa for me.
love, positive vibes, and prayers-n8

Hello, I don't know you but I wanted to send thoughts and prayers to you and your wife. My step daughter, Ryan, attends GSU with one of your relatives and told me of you and how you have entered into the trial of your life. I've seen my family and friends suffer from Cancer and my heart always goes out to new people that are diagnosed and are fighting. You have a wonderful attitude and I know you will win this battle. You both are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you every peace and comfort you may find.
God Bless!
