How many years are there between you and your wife? I just met someone way too young for me but I think we might date anyway.

The whip I got was a rubber, fringy one, lol. The hostess wound up with it. My brother was like, "Oh no, my sister did NOT bring that."

I sent my sis $500.00 to help her get on her feet out West.

Deb is 43, I'm 36...So that's 7 years (We've been together since the summer of 1991).

People who know Deb doesnt think she is 43, most think she is in her mid 30's (Weird, she had grey hair before she did the radiation treatments for her Hodgkin's Lymphoma...But afterwards all her grey disappearred, and even more appearred in my hair.)

Hmm, he's 12 years younger (23). Probably not going to lead to marriage I'm thinking.

That is weird that her grey disappeared. At least she got something out of that treatment though. I'd love for my grey to disappear, although no thanks on the cancer. Cancer scares the hell out of me.

Yes. She works for Southwest Airlines.

Tell her to get Southwest's asses here to Minnesota so we can have some competition amongst the airlines and cheaper flights!

her hair grew back thicker than it was before the cancer. She was one of the very few whose hair did not fall out during chemo treatments (I remember Deb asking me if she should shave her head and avoid the rush of losing her hair, I told her to wait and see if it does fallout first), but wouldnt ya know it when she did the radiation all the hair on the back of her neck/head died...She had a 'Priar Tuck' hairdo for about 3 months afterwards (But when her hair started to grow back it grew extra thick, so no complaints-Oddly Deb never got ill during chemo as she did with the radiation.)

Cancer still scares the hell out of us...

I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 36- but I guess that's a different situation, not to mention a perfectly normal cliche!

The stuff that happens to your hair after chemo and radiation can be so weird- my bf had non-Hodgkins lymphoma eight years ago. He shaved his head before he started, but when it all grew back he lost all his old curls, and his hair darkened from lightish blond to much darker reddish brown.

Deb is cancer-free I am happy (Her lastest PET scan was again free and clear of any tumors-So all is well with her health).

I know my health is slowly going down hill due to this annoying arachnoid cyst, but soon (Deb talked to "Doogie" last night and he will be faxing the referral to the Cherokee Nation, I can afford seeing the Dr., but I dont have the $$$$ for another brain MRI) I should have the followup MRI performed and decide which option of treatment will be next.

I dont mean to be nosy, but are you aprt Native-american? The reason I ask is that sometimes you can get cheaper health care by being part of the tribe I think.
