You'll be in my thoughts & prayers. I know it must be scary but you've got the right attitude. Keep it up, you WILL beat this! {{{hugs}}}

What a shock for you!

As you can see, there are already a lot of PTers praying for you. And we will be right here for you until you get totally well.

If there is anything you need, just ask.

Lots of HUGS!!!

Dear natal sister.....my thoughts are with you....

**slick** · 08-10-2006, 11:10 AM

I'm very touched by all of your posts and well wishes and for those close to me, please forgive me for not including you during these last two weeks. I just needed to find out what path I am taking before passing on any information. There was just too many "what ifs".

I had to have a real belly laugh this morning. I guess I'll have to shave my legs and pits just before going into the hospital....just in case I get a warm sponge bath from a hunky intern.

Harpmom: Thank you so much for posting such an encouraging story. I'll have to ask the surgeon about those injections. My prayers going out for your Dad.

Debbie: One of the signs of this type of cancer is recurring pneumonia and if you recall, I was sick in March too.

I cannot type too much right now. You will be in my every prayer.

**petslover** · 08-10-2006, 11:18 AM

Slick.. I am so very sorry to hear about your situation. It can't be easy. but wow... You are one strong lady.. and that attitude will help you beat this nasty "thing". I will be praying for you every night. Just keep up the great attitude.

**My Peanuts** · 08-10-2006, 11:47 AM

I'm so sorry to hear this. You sound like you have a great attitude towards this. Good luck and my prayers are with you.

**BOBS DAD** · 08-10-2006, 11:56 AM

Don't have advice, but I am totally sure that you are going to get a ton of good stuff from the folks here at PT. Just wanted you to know that my prayers are with you and that you know you will always have the support of we here at PT.

P.S. You seem to have a "great attitude" and from anyone/everyone I know who has gone through this - that is the singlemost important thing you have going for you. Good luck and God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear this terrible news Slick.

I had stage 4 Uterian Cancer and just told my doc, to do what he had to do to get me well, as I was not ready to go just yet. He did and that was 12 years ago. It does help to have a positive attitude.

You can beat this and I pray will all my might that it hasn't spread.

We are all here for you and will be holding your hand every step of the way.

((((((HUGS))))))

Crap! Why does crappy things like this happen to such wonderful people? Sometimes I really have to wonder what they're thinking "up there". I have absolutely no doubt that you will recover completely. Your attitude is amazing. And yes, you'll probably have moments of doubt and down days, but you'll have lots of PT support and purr therapy to pull you through. If you need anything ~ I mean anything ~ please let us know.

**wolflady** · 08-10-2006, 12:59 PM

Oh my gosh, slick, I'm glad I've been lurking a bit on PT the last couple of days, or I might have missed this thread. I'm glad that you are taking a positive attitude towards this and I know it will help you to beat it. Attitude really is everything, and I'm so happy you have great support system! Please know that I too, am here for you even though I may not be on PT very often. You can always ping me offline or call anytime you need to.

**hugs**

Slick, I saw this thread at work, but was not able to respond there. I’m feeling very sad to hear that you’re ill.

... but, I'm glad the prognosis for the disease is good.

You keep up your positive attitude my friend, and you WILL beat this!! I will be with you every step of the way! Just ask if there’s anything I can do!!

Where are those £99 flights to Vancouver when you need them???

Yes, where are they??

As others have mentioned, you have a lot of things to do yet, and places to see! I think I know what Gini means with “a little swim” and I’ll be here to help your plan come true.

Slick, you are such a wonderful person, and I’m honored you came down to Laguna Niguel last summer, so we could get to know each other better. I’m looking forward to see you again!

You have been pushing yourself too hard at work, don't ever do it again!! It's time to look after yourself!

I'm feeling positive that the operation will be a piece of cake, but ...

The worst part is going to be making yourself sit still and letting other people help you!!!

You are always the first one to comfort others and give support, now, it's your turn to recieve. Please, at least consider it!

I'm going to send you recipees, and I'll try to call you over the weekend.

Sending all my love and best thoughts that the operation will be succesful and you’ll have a full recovery - Fister sends lots of purrs and headbumpies.

(((((hugs)))))

I'm a little bit in shock right now... I'm so sorry

I know you'll get through all this (((((hugs))))) I really admire your attitude, it's good to know that you're not scared and not alone (and it's even better that you know this)
