Q&A

I've been told by people, that people, have questions.

About cancer.

This journey.

About our journey with cancer.

Still.

There is a list started on Facebook in "Team Kyle"
that I am going to dedicate a blog post or two to answering.

If anyone else that reads HERE has a question, or two,
please ask it in the comments.

(People have said you can't leave comments, you can.
You just have to have a "google" or other account to do
so...if you don't you can simply MAKE a google account
and then you can always comment.  It simply involves making
a "user name" and a adding an email and password.

If you try and add a comment and it won't let you, simply
follow the steps to create a google account...if you wish!)

Or you can email me directly and I will add your question
to the list:

dorienn@excite.com  (THERE ARE TWO "n" 's in the address.)

Or follow on Facebook at "Team Kyle", we will add you to
the page to ask ask a question.

---------------------------------------------------

Kyle said he had SUCH a refreshing night last night.
His cousin and wife were in town and they had a long
visit.  He was SO happy with their honesty and willingness
to talk about the elephant in the room (cancer, terminal)
and ask any questions they wanted.

I feel like I've said this over and over and over and you
all are sick of me.

But I will say it again:

We are very very very open and honest with everything
about our journey along the way.

We are NOT afraid to have the hard questions asked.

In fact, we would rather YOU ASK,
then assume, or guess, or gossip behind our backs.

It's a new place that NONE of us has traveled, and it's
a new place that ISN'T always easy to be...but if you 
know anything--know THIS...

We are NOT afraid of questions, or information, or sharing.

It's WORSE for us when people pretend, and ignore and
don't say a word.

Now does this mean we want to be the center topic of 
every gathering, and discussion, and social event?

HECK NO!

But we don't want you to be afraid to speak out or
ask at any given time.

------------------------------------------------------

10:45 today with Dr Sharma, who will give us the 
details of our PET scan.

My little sister said it best when she texted me about this
the other day.

She said, "It's kind of like getting RE diagnosed every
9 weeks."

Ya, and that's always super fun, isn't it?

Anyway--send your questions.  We are already looking 
forward to answering some of the FABULOUS thoughtful ones
asked on Facebook!

Peace Out.
Kyle & Dorien
