Dave,
To say you have been on a roller coaster ride seems like an understatement. Not a wordsmith here, so I'll just echo the sentiments from so many others using your pal from the "old neighborhood" as inspiration when it comes to the F-ing, F$%^&*(, F#$%^&, F #$%^&* Intruder ~ KICK ITS F!@#$%^&ing Butt! Continuing to send LOTS & Lots of positive, joyous, healthy vibes your way !
Love you my friend!! HUGS, Karen C

Hi David - thank you for sharing your courageous, uplifting, JOYFUL outlook on life! Also, through your story you are helping to educate others about signs and symptoms and really about how to face adversity with dignity and JOY. (It’s gotta be that darn-liberal-tree-hugger spirit inside of you!!!😁) And as for standing up to this big bully, C, well I think your friend from the old neighborhood said it best: “F#$% YOU, you F#$%ing F#$%!!” You’ve got this, Dave!! We all love and support you!! ❤️

Dave, I've read your latest entry several times now, absorbing and processing what you shared, which you must do in spades every single time you have a procedure, test, and bloodwork. So I only have a slight taste of what you're going through each day you're managing this insidious intruder. My main takeaway is that your mode of fighting hard and with *joy* are what's keeping you in this game you did not choose to play. I'm sending you all the healing vibes possible and wishing your whole family continuous support and strength, as well as more opportunities to savor your time together. Thanks for your updates whenever you feel you want to send them. Your friends appreciate them every time and we think of you even without them. ❤️

Hi Dave, quite the journey. You are a a very great writer! Sorry to hear about your latest setbacks but we’re confident you can overcome. You are so strong and determined and you have all the love of your families and friends behind you. Go get ‘em Dave!! We love you!!

Dave, I’m visiting Williamstown this weekend and thus able to channel to you some extra special healing energy from the purple hills. Sending you and Kathy lots of love. Looking forward to a pic of cat-dog snuggling. 🐈🐶

Dave! I’m joining you (from my *living* room) in a rambunctious yet fierce outcry of the Healing Battalion, in beautiful two-part harmony, of course, and with 100% heat-seeking laser style effectiveness!!! BE GONE, !@#$%&*! intruders!!! And where those intruders used to be, I offer continued healing salves of prayer. 🙏🏽 💜🫶🏽🌺🤣✌🏽✨

Dave, I'm so sorry to hear about the latest kick in the pants of negative news...but my own journey through cancer diagnosis, surgery and chemo taught me one thing for sure...the power of a well placed, F*$k YOU to cancer!! You are a warrior and a setback in battle is not a lost war. I believe in your strength, the strength of your family around you, and the strength of your furry family giving love and peace...to paraphrase the great philosopher, Captain America, you can do this all f*king day, Dave! You got this sh$t!!!

Dave,
I support your new energy to fight the intruder. Your nieces, Tom and I pray daily for a full recovery. We love you. Fight-fight-fight knock the F’n out of the intruder!!!!!

Dave--You have got this--you are so strong and have proven such time and time again and will continue to do so! The ying-yang balance of the cat-dog energy is an excellent complement to you! It brings the perfect mix of badassness that is the essence of cats and the loyalty and confidence that is the essence of dogs. It is the right karma to add to the positivity and resilience that surrounds you and which will see you through this to full health!! xoxox Mandy
PS Hey yo, intruder cells-- F#$% YOU, you F#$%ing F#$%!!

Dave, thanks so much for the update - entertaining, poignant, and inspirational. You're got Team Williams and Team TJ behind you as you tell the intruder to F off!!!!
