Hi, everyone.

I know I haven't been around... at all, for the past month, and I realized that you should probably know what's going on.

My dad's been diagnosed with cancer and is due to start chemo and radiation therapy this week. With the way things look, I don't expect to be back before the US's Thanksgiving.

This affects [livejournal.com profile] burbonmilkshake, [livejournal.com profile] frustrated_asst, [livejournal.com profile] churchofthefsm, and [livejournal.com profile] boomerangqueen.

Everything's okay, but I'm just really tired a lot of the time, so I don't want to start tagging and disappear after an hour.

Take care, all.

You take care too, and worry about your dad. We will be here when you return *hug*.

All the best for your family!

Charlie will no doubt be waiting for Natalie whenever you return.

Oh, sweetie. I wish neither of us could relate on this front, but as things stand, I wish you and yours all health and a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. One of my family members has recently been diagnosed, as well. I hope he's feeling better soon. Take care of yourself, and we'll welcome you back when you are able to play again.

Good luck and God bless. My mother has had cancer of the lungs since 2000 (non-smoker to boot), and was given six months to live in 2006. Hang in there and remember to take time for yourself, even if it's just a cup of tea in a library with your cellphone off.

Was wondering where you'd gotten off too. *snugs* Like everyone else says, take care of yourself and good thoughts to you and your dad and your family. The game'll be here when you get back.

Sorry to hear that, I wish you and your family all the best.

*snuuuuugs* Just take it easy. And had too many family members affected by cancer myself.

All the best, and support to your dad and your family through this time.

My family is crazy obsessed about cancer and its prevention/treatment with how often it/the symptoms crop up. We're right there fighting the good fight with you.

*lots of hugs*

I'm so sorry. Thinking of you and yours. Hang in there as best you can, okay?

Belatedly, I'm thinking good thoughts and hoping for the best for you and your dad. Take care of yourself in the meantime, too.
