I have cancer....the road to recovery

**gini** · 08-17-2006, 12:28 PM

I have asked that a host of angels be with you today to look after you.

You are well loved dear friend.

Thinking of you today, and praying that all goes well. You are a special person, and there are many prayers coming from myself, Tabitha, and Sasha that you can get through this. With your attitude, you will do fine, as that is half the battle!

Thinking of you today, friend. I hope everything goes well.

**RedHedd** · 08-17-2006, 02:22 PM

Been thinking of you all along today. Even when they were ultrasounding me (looking for "something" which we hope is nothing), I was thinking of you, knowing you're being poked and prodded too.

You've been in my thoughts today. {{hugs}}

The meeting with the surgeon went really, really well. I just love this guy. He's caring and compassionate and explained everything to me. I took a co-worker with me to be a second pair of ears. She is a cancer survivor and helped me with all my questions and even asked some questions I didn't think of.

Anyway, my surgery date is September 14th.

That fast. I couldn't believe it. I came away with a whole pile of pamphlets to read so I've got my work cut out for me. I even have to do exercises before and after the surgery.

The next few weeks will be really busy as I have to meet with lots of doctors and people before the operation. There's more to tell but it's all boring stuff. PM me if you to know.

Thanks again for all you well wishes. I have no doubt that I'll be back at work by November 1st. Piece of cake, guys.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!

You are SLICK!!!!!!

EXERCISE?!?!?!?!

No way, it's not worth it.

(joking....LOL)

Thanks for the update. You've been constantly in my thoughts.

Most excellent that you like the surgeon. That will make things a whole lot easier. Less than a month till the surgery, that's awesome!! Do what you need to do between now and then and know that we will all have Sep 14 marked on our calendars.

**K9soul** · 08-17-2006, 05:34 PM

You remain in my thoughts and prayers Slick. You have such a phenomenal attitude, so inspiring to me and I'm sure many others

. Lots of hugs to you.

Slick, I still have Mario sitting in my living room and I'll make sure to turn his vibes to you and your surgery.

**dukedogsmom** · 08-17-2006, 06:16 PM

I'm so glad that you like your surgeon and that he's a good guy. I know it will be a relief to get this out of the way. I'm glad you've got some support with a coworker. That was very nice of them to go with you like that. Keep up that good attitude and I know you can beat this.
