I post all over the net, but most of real net friends reside right here and this is the only place I am posting this plea. Guys if you would be so thoughtful please keep my big sister Denise in your thoughts. She has always been my big/little (smaller) sister and she needs all the good thoughts she can get.

Denise is a mother of three, not to mention a single mother of three. She has the biggest heart in the world and loves people and life as much as any person I have ever seen. She has also had more health issues in the past than any person at here age (mid thirties) should have.

Well guys, as of last Thursday the bad news continued for her. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, thankfully it was found earlier, but this form she has spreads very quickly. The doctors think that they have it confined but will know more after surgery next week. After that it looks like chemotherapy and hopefully a speedy recovery.

My sister and I have always been thick as thieves as she was the one that I have always gone to for advice. She told me she was more scared to tell me, than of the surgery. I am pretty numb right now, but if you could please just keep her in your thoughts Andie and myself would really be thankful. Thanks for reading this guys you really are a bunch of good friends.

My thoughts are with her and the rest of your family. Many ppl in my family have had bad health issues over the last decade and know how you feel.

Just make sure you KNOW this, technology and medical advancement over the last decade or so has advanced quite rapidly. I am sure that your sister will beat this, especially since it was detected early. I have plenty of faith in todays doctors!

dman · 30 June 2005, 02:01 PM

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind thoughts and words Roger!!

dfn8tly · 30 June 2005, 02:07 PM

When good vibes go out from all over the world --- only good things happen.

Tell her we've got both of you covered.

dman · 30 June 2005, 02:09 PM

Gunther · 30 June 2005, 02:26 PM

Uncle-AJ · 30 June 2005, 03:47 PM

That's bad news Daren but at least they have caught it early. My thoughts are with Denise and your family and I hope she gets through it alright.

padi56 · 30 June 2005, 05:37 PM

Darren my thoughts are with you,and your sister, be strong for her mate to get though this difficult time.I know from past experience, I was about 2 years ago diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma.Well with a lot of treatment and chemo,help from a few friends world wide,my last 2 scans have shown to be in full remission.Like you I post on several sites,but only a
few on the other Rolex forum new anything about it.But this forum is a lot
more homely,and friendy,so Darren be strong it can and will be beaten.

Gedanken · 1 July 2005, 12:56 AM

My thoughts are with her, Daren! It's a good thing they caught it at an early stage.

Rockrolex · 1 July 2005, 01:00 AM

I'm so sorry to hear this news, Daren. You and your sister are in my thoughts. I wish for her and you a full and speedy recovery from this thing and all the best to both of you. Chin up, pal. We are all here pulling for you.

dman · 1 July 2005, 01:51 PM

Thanks to all of you guys, I really mean it!! I just spoke to Denise and she had some great news at the Dr. today. Some biopsies from the general area came back negative, so that is encouraging.

She is pretty scared as is the whole family. But we are trying to keep a positve atitude and hope for the best. I may not be posting as much and in my usual way for a bit, but I will be on here everyday.

Thanks again guys your support really means alot to me and makes me feel much better.

Cheers

Daren

JJ Irani · 1 July 2005, 05:38 PM

No worries, Daren, we can understand if you don't post as often; but your family needs you right now and that is very important at this stage.

Just be with your sister and give her your full big-hearted support, my friend. Everything will come right in the end.

Regards - JJ

Manatee · 3 July 2005, 12:45 PM

I'm so sorry to hear that, Daren. It's hard to fathom what your sister, you, and your family are feeling. It has to be the scariest thing in the world. :-(

Fortunately, things can now be treated that we could hardly imagine a few years ago. She's very fortunate that it was caught early.

I'll certainly keep her in my thoughts and hope for the best possible outcome for her.

dman · 4 July 2005, 11:13 AM

Thank you Peter, always great to hear from you my friend.

Mark · 4 July 2005, 12:37 PM

Thoughts and prayers going out to your sister. Things always work out according to the Master's plan. Be strong !!

baseballduck · 4 July 2005, 12:41 PM

Sorry to hear about that Daren. I have had some people in my family with cancer. It's a hard time to get through. Luckily they cought it in the early stages. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Daren.
