Slick, I know this is devastating news for you, someone who runs hard at work and play. The worst part is going to be making yourself sit still and letting other people help you!!!

You can count on our prayers!!!!!

Love,
Logan

Slick, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. Hearing the word "Cancer" does give one pause and it may feel like you have to make bazillion decisions immediately - been there, done that. I'm a breast cancer survivor. The love and support is just oozing from this thread and will carry you through this difficult time. A positive attitude really DOES have an effect on one's recovery and healing time. I was back at work full time within in a month of my mastectomy - heck, I was called into meetings less than a week after my surgery and came into the office with surgical drains in my body

Shave your legs for that hunky intern!

I'm so sorry, slick, I know you'll get through it!! Keep us updated!! You KNOW you'll ALWAYS be loved here on PT.

I know many cancer survivors, but none with that kind, never knew anyone with that kind of lung cancer. Attitude is right, and you know who with supervising your CAT-scan, from her spot at the Rainbow Bridge, and your PET scan, too, of course!

You will be in our prayers, for patience, and healing and courage.

Slick--


Your stamina , survival mechinism , spirit, inner beauty, ----- are attributes that will sustain you . I will be Thinking of You and Praying that you will just get this "Thing" out!!!! I was told, back in 1994, that I had a 3 cm tumor in my right ovary, however, there was no cancer found . I called the tumor, "The Thing" as well.( I hate hospitals, scans, bloodwork )

You are teaching us how to "meet" any challenge we are faced with, by coming forward and communicating with a strong and steadfast approach!!!


You are , well, AWESOME!!!!



God Bless You !!!!! I am positive that you will pull through, and you'll tell others your story. Please keep us posted.

Things like that are never something anyone wants to hear. I am really sorry that you have cancer but I hope they caught it early. They are making more strides every day in treatments so I hope things work out okay. Prayers for you that you will beat this and have a clean bill of health. As long as you never give up there are always things to try. God bless.

Slick , You are half way through it with your addittude . Having gone through all the yucky stuff with my hubbys cancer (radiation and sirjury) . It is positiveness that gets you healed the fastest . Some days it may seen like a cloud over you but just ask Speckles to blow them away for you.
As with any surjury the hardest thing is that first walk if you can do it as soon as you can it is the better. After 8 hours of surjury they didn't get him up soon enough and had a slight probem with fluid in his lung. But if you get up and moving in the first 12 hours after waking up it's best. Make sure you use the pain meds at first so you can move , then start weaning your self off of them . But use them to get mobile , you will be back in a month .
If you need any questions answered hubby will gladly talk to you. He's helped a lot of very frightened construction guys thru their surjurys.
Prayers and hugs from Montana

(((HUGS)))) to you slick - gini is so right that you are loved and supported by so many folks here (even some you probably have never heard from)

As others have already said - your attitude is so very strong and positive - and I will pray that it stays this way most of the time while you fight your cancer...

Thank you for posting your very personal news and I feel very sure that others will be helped and strengthened by it also.
