When I was being interviewed for our local paper, the reporter asked me how many people actually read my blog. I was not able to tell him as there could be lots out there that just browse without leaving me a message. You don't have to give your full name, one person I know just signs the comment as JK. I would like to be able to tell the reporter next week the answer to his question. And if you leave a comment, why not explain what this blog means to you. For me, it's an inspiration, a form of therapy when life is not the way you thought it would be.
So please, leave a comment. It's so easy to do..... PS Even my dad knows how to...

I loved the part, even my dad knows how. Your dad, like you is no slouch! I love you Doug, Kay, Jane, Maureen, Eileen and Dougie! Thanks for making my life so much fun. Love, Mary Lou P.S. I read your blog every day and I continue to be inspired by my hero, my best and yes, oldest friend, Jane. Love, Mary Lou
Well that is a hard task to explain what this blog means to me. I guess what the blog does is let me know how you are when you may not be up to telling everyone on the phone. More importantly I would like you to know what you mean to me. It is not the blog that inspires me but you. In the last three years I have thought about you usually within the first few minutes of waking up. When I am tired I think how can I complain when you rarely ever complain. I think about how you get up and put a smile on your face when you don't really feel like tackling the day. I think about when I call you are always upbeat and fun to talk to. I think about how you ask about what is going on with me when all that matter at the moment is what is going on with you. I think about how you worry about others battling cancer. I know that first hand when my own husband had his cancer surgery last year. You were right there for me when I was crying on the phone to you. I think about how lucky you are to have such a great family who adores you. I think how lucky I am to call you my friend. I think my life has been changed by you. So my friend that is what I think. As always I love ya. Becky

Dear Jane,
The blog keeps me in touch with someone I care very much for, but living faraway, there is very little I can do.
Hope you get feeling better. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for restless legs.
Love you

Hi Jane!
I'm so glad the News is doing that article about you guys! Your story will impact so many MORE lives now.
I don't always comment, but I read your blog daily as it's on my morning bookmark list.
Your friend Becky's comment is beautiful. What a wonderful friend she is to you! You are blessed!

Jane,
I find your blog so informative. I did not know a lot about cancer until I started reading it. I have had family members that have gone through chemo and radiation and I really had no idea what that really meant...until you posted your pictures and explained it all. I know that this blog means the world to you and in turn, means the world to me. Each morning I click on the favorites key I have for it and hope that you have posted something. And then about 3 times a day I check again (so I'm a little compulsive!!). Enjoy Saturday! You two deserved it above all measure. May God Bless You and Keep You.

I check your blog every few days. I marvel at your ability to remain positive in the face of so many difficulties.

Well Jane,
Your blog is part of my daily morning START. I get my tea in the early quiet time in my house before going to work and I turn my computer on and make my first few clicks to your blog. As I wait to read my daily news from you and sip my tea, in those momemts, I think often about the fragility of life - a healthy life- and how precious that gift is to all of us who don't share your daily struggles and give my thanks for all that I am grateful for in my own life. I then pray for you and your family and your brave battle on the frontline. You are teaching so many about how to truly LIVE with this disease and that my friend you are doing an amazing job at. You are a gift to all who call you a friend and one of the bravest women I know.
hugs to you, jane.

Jane, I read your blog several times a week just to check to see how you are doing. You have taken us through all the steps of your treatment and feelings and what an education we have received. You have done a wonderful service to all who read your blog. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am a friend of Nancy M of medford and also had breast cancer. I look to your blog at least twice a week and you and your family are in my prayers.
Count me in your blog count.
love
Linda
We check on your blog all the time to see how you and Barry are doing.. and yes your dad knows it all..

HI Luv
One has only to read your blog, and comments, to really know that you have gone thru MORE THAN ONE
TYPE of cancer, and are again getting ready for another session of kemo. One has to wonder, whats going on in their body, and feel lucky they are, at the present at least, cancer free.
Our BEST NEWS for the day - your coming HOME for a few days shortly. Long time no see, BOY, IS THIS GOING TO BE A BIG (fresh local fish eating?) visit.
Dad and Kay
Hi Jane...I check your blog almost daily. Although you may not hear from me often, I'm a very good lurker. :)
I feel connected even though we're separated by such distance.

Hi Jane!
You don't know me very well, but I work in the admissions office at Westminster and was recently given the link to your blog. My husband went through testicular cancer early on in our marriage (he was 26 years old) and just the WORD is enough to bring someone to his knees. He beat it. Believe in yourself that YOU can too! I am thinking of you...you are such a strong spirit. God bless you and keep you. You are gonna do this!!!
