Dear Friends

I am writing to ask for your support with a unique opportunity to help us raise research funds for brain cancer.

Cancers that arise or spread to the brain are amongst the most challenging of all malignancies and outcome for our patients remains unacceptably poor.  Today, promising therapeutic opportunities are emerging, but funding to support these research efforts, especially for brain cancer patients, is at an all time low. Without funding support, many of these promising efforts are at significant risk of failing to advance.

We critically need to do more for our patients and we need to do it faster. 

The Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) is a remarkable event to raise awareness and support for cancer research at the Dana-Farber. Brain cancer has never had a major supporter at the PMC until this year. Rick Kaitz and his team Erica’s Entourage have raised significant DFCI research funding for several years through the PMC. This year, Rick and Erica’s Entourage have agreed to direct a portion of the money they raise to the Center for Neuro-Oncology at the Dana-Farber. Specifically, research dollars generated this year will fund critical lab and clinic studies evaluating immunotherapy and precision medicine approaches for brain cancer. To do my part on behalf of this noteworthy effort, I will be riding the PMC (192 miles on August 1-2, 2015) as a member of Erica’s Entourage. My personal goal is to raise $100,000 for brain cancer research and with your help, I hope to raise much more.

In addition to helping our current and future patients, my ride also honors and serves tribute to the many patients who have passed away from these devastating tumors.

In order to help us move closer to finding a cure for primary and metastatic brain cancers, please visit my PMC webpage. Simply google “David Reardon and PMC” or go to http://www2.pmc.org/profile/DR0211. Any and all contributions are gratefully appreciated. Just as importantly please spread the word to your friends, families and colleagues to urge them to help us as well.

On behalf of our patients and their families, we are most grateful.

David A. Reardon, MD

What Fills Our Lives can usher us into eternity. Amen.

This posting began this way…

I went to bed a few nights ago after prayer I put my kindle on and was going off to sleep and a song came on and I felt my heart open up and I was saying I know this song from years ago. I actually got myself up on their edge of the bed to look at the kindle to see who the artist was. There was a strong Spirit of love from the song  emenating into my soul. Plus this song was my mother in laws favorite song sung by Eva Cassidy. 🙂

I saw his name and did not  recognize it so, I made note of it and fell back into the bed. The next morning I was at the 9 mass and I visited a hospital and brought the Holy Eucharist to a friend. I came home and began to see who IZ Israel Kamakawiwo’ole was.

He was a wonderful Hawaiian Man. A Holy Man. He tried to bring the love of the Lord to everyone and he had a strong social message  for the youth of his time to stay drug free etc and to give back to their socity positive things.

IZ struggled with severe weight  issues in his life reaching over 6 hundred pounds. He died of heart failure at age 38. He lived and gave his best to the Lord and struggled personally as we all do.   but he was perfect in his imperfection !

He passed over 20 years ago but guess what ? Gods got him onto this post today he inspired me and hopefully you too. 

But, his life was a complete victory he effected a beautiful change in this world. He lived his victory despite his struggles. Amen.

Today is Friday and I was at the 9 mass and visited the hospital and my friend Mary and her daughter for a visit. Mary is recovering from her illness They received the Holy Eucharist and we prayed together what a beautiful gift it was to see them.

Please pray for Mary and her family during this time. Marys husband Dan was home not feeling well also. Mary is an inspiration to so many in this time.

My aunt called and canceled my visit today she did not feel well enough . She is currently on a journey with cancer which has been very difficult.

So, please pray for Jeanne and her family. 

This is the song that got me out of bed the other night. You will understand why in a moment. 🙂

Note at the end of the video the celebration of his life. Jesus took the sting out of death. We need to celebrate our days and our lives knowing that better things are to come to us all in Gods time. Amen.

God Bless You All,

Danny

My heart feels such gratitude for so many things in this moment. The small things in life are evening out the imperfections along the daily journey. The small moments of connections with friends and family are so healing.:)

I went to my dad’s today and as always his wit was with him. He is 87 but does not act it with me. He has a great sense of humor. So, he lifts my day up every time.

I headed home and thought you know what, I am going to visit the chapel for a few minutes so I did. It was very peaceful and I saw a neighbor who was sitting there in prayer. I walked out with J and we talked for a bit. She asked me to pray for her nephew who is having emotional difficulties. So please pray for J’ s nephew God knows who you are praying for. It was a very beautiful encounter today because I heard God becon me in that moment to visit that chapel. If I had gone ever 15 minutes later I would not have seen J and I would not have known about her nephews need for prayers. We now all can pray for his needs.

We are all connected so we need to listen to the Spirit of God’s voice and act on what our hearts call us to.

Lastly,

I am very grateful to my doctors and all of the medical personal that I have had. God has and is useing them to help me and so many others who are living with a cancer diagnosis and its complications.

I was thinking about this doctor, my Dr. Who is such a wonderfully compassionate man. I also have been blessed to see him in two very dynamic ways. As a patient number one and as a witness as he spoke to a patient that he was consulting. I wrote about this encounter on my blog months ago.

It must be very hard to be a doctor and to be on a battlefield with an adversary such as cancer. Could you imagine going to work on daily basis greeting people who are sick, afraid and in most cases are unaware of what they are in for.

Dr. Reardon knelt by my wheelchair and basically begged me to stay and have tests done to try to get me to treatment. I was so sick at that time I wanted to just go home I was too tired to cope and he stayed with me until I said okay !!! A special man indeed.

For Dr. Reardon…. thank you. 🙂

The doctor has to break the news to them and their families like my doctor did for us here. They also need to relay a sense of hope as well even in the most dire of circumstances Theses doctors and nurses are given such an incredible gift from God.

Without further adieu I wanted to introduce my doctor from Dana Faber . He is only one of the many people who have been so wonderful and Christ like in their daily dealing with me, my family and others around them . They are truely special people and healers of men by Gods design. So, I will begin to high light these people in the coming months.

His demeanor is always the same just wonderfully peaceful.

Love is the answer

I was very glad to see the rain recently whereas everything has been so parched. Rain sets the stage for change in so many ways…

Rain can alter your mood. In a positive or negative way.

Rain can slow down our out door plans and make us change course in our days. Not a bad thing sometimes.

Rain changes the smell of the air outside making nature seem like it is renewed. Just the sound of the rain falling seems to be a healing factor of sorts.

Rain makes me personally contemplate everything. Last Sunday was a day of heavy contemplation. Being connected to my feelings and my God. I was thinking to myself how small we are in relations to this thing called life.  I had been to church Saturday and my wife and I were having a typical weekend. Church, family etc. We also visited a family friend in the hospital Saturday which required a lot of walking for me. Mary is a wonderful family friend who is suffering from a severe infection in her left leg so she was having her leg amputated on Monday at 3:00 p.m.  My wife and I spent time talking to her and reassuring her that God’s got her and will take care of her. As my wife and I entered her hospital room that day she began to cry and buried her face into her hands, she said you came and reached for my wife and looked and said a miracle is here as she cried and reached for me. I hugged and kissed her and said are you worried? She said yes but she said she had  prayed and asked Jesus to please guide her with her medical decisions. She was at peace with the Doctors thoughts on this matter. I asked her what time the surgery was and she responded Monday at 3:00 I said Mary, that’s great that is the Lord’s hour. I told her that I would say the chaplet of Divine Mercy for her on Monday.  I got up this morning and was eating breakfast by 5:45 am today / Sunday.On my way out, I placed my hand on her head and my wife and I prayed for her needs . I knew full well that God had her and her family in the palm of his hand.

I had decided that Sunday, I was not leaving the house at all. I was tired from the running that I had done all week so I began my regimen of reading, praying and interacting with my family, dad , etc.

I found myself reading about the illness that I have been living through namely non surgical Glio 4

From there, I turned on the television and the news was all about Beau Biden who passed from GLIO BLASTOMA as well. By the way Glio took Ted Kennedy too.

My cancer was non surgical grade four of the central nervous. Thats why I am considered a miracle in this moment.

I turned the tv up to listen to the Dr’s Grimm description of the illness and its nearly 100 percent death probability. And just thought to myself,  I have heard this so many times.  Yes, I do think of the statistics surrounding this desease from time to time and yes, I know it could come back someday to me too. But, I do not dwell in a house that sees and worries about things that only God controls. I have had a main focus since diagnosis in my life and it has been to love my family, my friends, my God and  to do be something positive to this world and to help those who are dealing with their own life challenges. I set goals for myself to reach sometimes that  have been too lofty as I have am coming to learn. My time table was not realistic. But, that what a hopeful outlook can do. It believes in only in the good possibilities.

I am not giving up on setting goals or expectations for myself I am just remembering that I need to be more realistic as to what I can and cannot currently do.

BTW, Mary had surgery on Monday and is doing well. The surgeon will be seeing her today. She remains positive and from what I have been told has a long road ahead.

Finally, I met with a friend that I had not seen for 3 years yesterday for lunch at a local restaurant. Dave and I caught up and he is a wonderful man of faith who belongs to Grace chapel. We talked about life and its many twists and turns. We talked about faith and our love for our Lord and his blessings upon us all.

I told him that we need to cut ourselves slack in this life to pick up the peices of our dissapointments and move on knowing that Gods got it and create a new creature in us all. If we just trust.

God Bless You,

Danny

Medjugorje Miracles and the two different camps.

Medjugore miracles.

Our dear family friend P. S. embarked yesterday on a pilgramage to Medjugorje with his brother Steve. P has been fighting his battle with pancreatic cancer.

So, yesterday he kissed his wife and kids good bye to make his long journey to the small town in Western Bosnia.

God is with them and faith has lead them their for a healing from God.

http://www.medjugorje.com/medjugorje/signs-and-miracles.html

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Medjugorje_Miracles

You know there are two different camps out there…

Those who believe and those who don’t.

Yesterday I had heard about Pauls departure seeking a healing with his brother all the way to Bosnia and thought what a beautiful journey that he has taken on. It is physically challenging  for him for sure given his treatment etc but he is living his Victory despite his illness. Amen.

The other camp. When my wife got word of their departure a conversation began with a few in the group that we were with. They began asking questions and we responded. their were funny eyes being made, and not alot of understanding. Their faith as a family is not strong so I understood their thinking that it was weird.

My feeling is this… They have a right to their opinion and it does not bother me. I also know that they look at me and cannot figure me out. They do not know how I can live happily when I was given a terminal diagnosis 3 years ago. I am here to hopefully open their eyes up to God reality.

Well, Paul and I share one very important thing God and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Something my other friends do not comprehend in this moment. I pray that someday they will because we all need him ! Amen. Pauls faith has called him to believe in a healing and he was called to Bosnia in this moment Amen.

For Pauls Miracle and his brothers Steves desires for his brothers needs to be met.

Kari Jobe The more I Seek You.

For his wife L and their three children.

Sanctus Real.

God Bless You,

Danny

Strength and Courage With A Smile

One observation that I would like to focus on today is that  it never ceases to amaze me of how no matter what a human being is experiencing in this life we are  in most cases still able to smile and see the joy in this life. Gods amazing gift to us all!

Whenever I go to Dana Farber for my appointments I walk through the crowd of patients many whom are very ill. But, they always respond to my conversation with a smile and converse with me about things like weather, wait time etc. They aren’t negative or acting depressed. Being a cancer patient or any person suffering from any illness, I have found are grateful to be in the moment that we are in because Life is a beautiful thing. We come to accept our plights because that is what we need to do. It’s the healthy option. For instance when I was dianosed with terminal cancer three years ago, I needed to choose how I would live this diagnosis. I do not want to ruin my families life with drama and dread. I thought about the serenity prayer today as I went out for one item bananas 🙂 lol. I needed them! 🙂  And at both stores I parked  and walked all the way into find that they were fresh out of them. I was pooped by the time I found a package with 3 bananas  inside, victory! 🙂

Then I stood in the express line for 20 minutes to buy 3 pretty ripe bananas . Omg . I came home and had to climb the staircase from the garage to the main floor of my home. I made it and plopped down onto my docking station. lol

I had a bumpy day emotionally on Thursday I had a lot of alone time so I had myself a little pitty party. As good as I feel or as optimistic as I generally am.

I still say , I cannot believe this is my life.

God is our one constant he is with us!!!

I spoke to all my siblings yesterday at one point or the other and dumped out a lot of my personal thoughts. I had worked on yesterday’s blog for a few,days before actually posting it. I was personally drained from the feelings and emotions that went with that phone conversation.

BY the way if you could say a prayer for J today she has another infusion  which maker her feel even sicker.

Also, Please Pray for Paul my friend who is meeting today for his scan results he is battling pancreatic cancer. He is an awesome man of God. Amen.

One of the things I told my family last night was this,

Yes, I am grateful to be alive in this moment. I am currently a Miracle , but it is not always easy being a Miracle.

I am a different me all together to what I was. In some cases I am the better for the cancer in others I am not.

I think that it is another stage of acceptance that I am now aware of. A new threshold of understanding . I look in the mirror and have a different understanding of what I am. I look okay but my body still does not operate properly. It’s like my mind is trapped in my body.

I will work through this in time. I need to allow this process of acceptance to work its way through me naturally. The way God wants us to. We need to hand our worries, pains and suffering off to God and allow him to strengthen us.

The final piece that has effected me is that I know of at least three young people of families I know who are dealing with their children’s suicides. Beautiful family, beautiful kids. I have found it so sad. I need to pray on this subject and write.

I have not heard this song for years but it is beautiful. GOD is always with us even in the darkness of times

I again, I needed to be honest as I sit here and say I just cannot imagine a life without God, Faith and fellowship with others.

God Bless You. And have a beautiful weekend. For any young ones making their First Holy Communion. God Bless You.

My beautuful home Parish.

Fr. Ron posted: “Dear Parishioners, This Friday, May 1, we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. This is the second feast of St. Joseph in our liturgical calendar. The first being March 19, the feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus.

New post on St Joseph Parish

Pastor’s Reflection for April 26, 2015

by Fr. Ron

Dear Parishioners,

This Friday, May 1, we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. This is the second feast of St. Joseph in our liturgical calendar. The first being March 19, the feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus.  This feast day which was instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1955 was made to promote the dignity of labor and to encourage a spiritual dimension to labor unions. Pope Pius XII emphasized the importance of work to the Christian life in building up the kingdom of God. The worker is not to be degraded or be used for material gain but to be respected for his gifts and labor.  For a practical application to this feast day, perhaps we can reflect on ways that we can add a spiritual dimension to our work day. How can we be like Jesus who worked as a carpenter? How can we live a virtuous life in our places of employment?

I share with you a letter that I received this past week from Cardinal Seán;

Congratulations on reaching your 2015 Catholic Appeal goal at St. Joseph Parish.

The Catholic Appeal is the primary means through which we sustain essential ministries that build up our community and encourage all of our people to live together in faith. Thank you for your support of this important effort.

The generosity of your parishioners is a sign of their recognition and appreciation of our pastoral leadership. I am truly grateful for their commitment and support of the work of the Church. Please share with them my heartfelt thanks for continuing to be joyful signs of God’s boundless love and compassion to all.

Thank you for your generous response to the Catholic Appeal. I also thank you for your continued generous support to this parish. Again, I encourage you to consider the spiritual activity of tithing, giving your first 10% of your income to the Lord. I ask that you support this parish with part of your tithe and to give the rest in support of other worthy organizations to help those in need. Also as you can see with our financial monthly reports, most of our parish support comes from our offertory and less from our electronic giving. It would be nice if we could reverse that in order to help us prepare for our yearly budget.

I will be available to hear confessions on Tuesday, April 28, from 7:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

May Jesus continue to shepherd you in all of your needs.

God love you,

I wrote about my desire to deepen my relationship with God during this past Lenten Season. I am not sure how I did on that front. It was a beautiful Season but I was not 100 percent into the effort. I was distracted by life and stuff. My license has given me more options so I am tempted to go out when I have the energy or the mind to.

 Friday for instance, I was up early and went to physical therapy. After therapy I went to chapel for a short while and I went to my dads house and spent a number of hours with him , it was awesome. 

Last evening my wife and I got together with another couple of good friends for dinner. We were talking at dinner about life stuff, kids, parents , jobs etc. When we were discussing our parents etc, I was thinking that I still wish that I could have spent more face time with my mom while she was ill. It is something that I could not help but will always regret. Today like I said was great with my dad once again and I also this week went to my God parents home for lunch so life is good 🙂

My blog posts will no longer be daily because, it needs to be inspired from God and I feel that because of my new mobility that I need to be out serving more and not stting at a computer or on my kindle. 🙂

When I woke up this beautiful morning I had a song on my mind from 40 or 50 years ago and looked it up. The words in general are very true precious and few…..

Climax Blues band Precious and Few.

The moments we share here are few but Gods promise that we will be united through Jesus Christ eternally makes life beautiful. Amen.

another song by Climax Blues band    Enjoy.

God Bless You,

Danny

As I walked the track again on Monday and took my sweet time doing it I remembered my daughter’s words slow and steady dad, you”ll get there.

I was thinking as I was walking that we are responsible for many of own mindsets. If I have a bad moment I sometimes go negative with a phrase. What I have come to understand now is that the thoughts and words that we think and say can truely effect your life in a negative way.

Three terms that I think and say at times from my inner voice are…

1. I’m not.

2. I can’t

3.  I won’t

These are not healthy words. We all have them and they are not positive or good for our psyche. That attitude got me into trouble Sunday as I pushed myself around the track.

There is a power that resides in us all that is truth, It is the Spirit of God. Thats what corrected my sour demeanor Sunday and made me push myself to stive for better things.

The three terms that we need to hold, embrace and live are…

1.) I will

2.) I can

3.) I am going to.

See victory

Realize a victory that only God can give you. Jesus is the ultimate healer.

In Christ Alone

It’s a reality of this life. God ordained that after the creation of Adam that he would also create Eve so that they would have oneanother and not be alone. They then we’re blessed with children and we are those children generations removed.

Part of the reason why I am still here personally is because I am very very stubborn. I do not give myself an inch. I can be foolish at times I know but I choose life and I choose to get myself back into the game where I can contribute to society in a meaningful way.

Yesterday I was home and my wife was down the Cape with a number of her girl friends for the day so I decided to walk the track for the first time since last Fall. I called my brother and he dropped what he was doing to join me. So, I walked a quarter mile lap with him and we headed home.

This Morning , I woke up hopped in the shower and decided I would walk the track. My wife was now at church and I went Saturday so I said I will go now and be done when my wife gets back from mass.

Off I went to the track as I left the garage I saw my eldest daughter and just said I am going to walk the track 🙂  and, away I went.

I got to the track and there were a lot of young kids playing soccer so cute. The parents were all there watching and talking together. I remember those days well with 4 kids my wife and I were always at one field or another.:) Those days were so important for my kids and for us I thank God for every one of the moments there.

Well this morning God protected me from myself once again. I am one hundred percent sure of this fact here’s why,

I began to walk the track and the kids were playing on the field. I was walking and greeting other walkers as they passed by me. It was gorgeous out and it was the day that I have been waiting for. As I walked and looked at the sky I began to pray and talk softly to God so I could hear myself. I wanted my ears to hear what my heart was expressing to God. I began to say I can’t believe that one year ago that I told my physical therapists that I  wanted to run the Boston marathon. I was thinking how stupid of me !I became embarassed.  WITH that, I thought to myself I can do it! and It’s not because I say that I can , it’s because God can do anything that he chooses to for me. I felt a sense of defiance and got mad at myself for being negative  and picked up my pace as I walked I felt empowered. I was finishing the 1/2 mile mark (2 laps) as I rounded the final corner I suddenly felt my left leg begin to falter and I thought oh no ! I am going down. I stopped and used my right hand and pushed on the  top of my cane to help support me. I tried to step forward but my knee cap was going up and down fromthe stress and the nerves. all of my wiring from the brain is newon the left side of my body and is being rebuilt over time. I began to take little steps fighting myself not to fall.  I looked up and down the track about 150 feet away all of a sudden a figure emerged walking down the track I thought I recognized her but was not sure as she got closer I realized that it was my daughter. She walked up to me and I said what are you doing here? I said I am going to fall. she raised her sunglasses and looked at me and smiled and said dad don’t worry, I got you,I am here. I was on the verge of tears she said lets go and I said I was trying to walk 3/4 of a mile today but my body is rebelling. She was holding my left side steady as we walked and she said how long have you walked ? I said 1/2 mile so she said c’mon lets go you can do it:)

So, we took the final lap her helping me as my leg once again faltered. My daughter became my left side as we walked.

I asked her again how did you end up down here? You were a Miracle to me today!

She said after she saw me in the garage she went to the gym to work out. She said she walked into the gym and said to the person at the desk, I don’t know why I am in here today my dad is walking the track. I should go with him and the girl replied yes you should plus it is beautiful out.

So God sent one of my angels to help me today. I was wrong to have pushed myself to a point of potentially harming myself but lesson learned. Like my daughter said dad, slow and steady your going to get there.

For my beautiful daughter, Dad says thank you and God Bless You Honey.
