It's Only Just Begun...

Kathy and Dave and Ray had a very long day at Dana Farber on Wednesday. This is the beginning of the process for him. There are many tests that have to be taken before he starts on the 24th with the high dose of Chemotherapy. He managed, somehow, to emerge from the poking and proding, the 'man among men' that he is, I am told by his Mother. He remains very optimistic and in excellent spirits.
I would like to encourage you to go to the Guest Book and write a little something for Dave so that he has messages to read to give him some comfort during this procedure. Jim Doyle (who is becoming the 'Grand Master' of happy thoughts) has a little something to say about how we can help in other ways.
Also, I hope that you have all had a chance to read the latest Lion's Pride edition. If you don't get one, someone you know probably does. I will try to put it on the blog, Wendy Marshall-Hudzik, who is the 'Queen' of happy thoughts, wrote a lovely article (Class of 1970) about Dave's party and Barbara Maynard Scollan also wrote a nice article (Class of 1971). Dave was mentioned in the Hall of Fame section by his coach, Randy Whitehead, as well.
It truly is your love and friendship that keeps Dave optimistic. Let's not forget that we are on an important mission to see that he gets through this.
Thanks everyone!
Keep a Happy Thought!
Marilyn
