I have cancer....the road to recovery

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

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.

Again, your attitude is just great! That's going to make all the difference in your recovery. More prayers for you and I'll be thinking about you around and on the 14th. The big C is terrible and you're going to kicks its A$$!

Excellent. It's good you liked your surgeon. When I had the brain (acoustic neuroma) surgery, I liked my surgeon an awful lot - I think that being patient and answering questions is every bit as important as the surgery itself. It helps to be putting yourself in the hands of someone trustworthy.

Okay, September 14th, there will be prayers flying from all over!

Wow, I can't help but really admire your attitude, slick! You are AWESOME! I'm really glad that you liked your surgeon and that he was open to answering you and your friend's questions. That's really great to develop a trusting relationship like that. You will indeed continue to receive prayers and healing vibes across the miles!

Much love,
Karen

Good having a surgeon you like and trust and DO THOSE EXERCISES! I know you won't feel like doing them (I didn't) but they helped me maintain my range of motion in my upper body. Just think of it as getting in shape for those handsome interns, externs, orderlies, nurses and doctors

9/14 is a little less than a month away. I know you have LOTS to do, but do take advantage of some of the free services the American Cancer Society provides. I had free therapy during my ordeal. All those walks help pay for the services that you will need during this time.

Awwww...you get to walk the seawall and I'M NOT THERE!!!! WAAAAH!

Well, okay, you're kind of far from there...but hopefully monsoon season is over and you can enjoy walks there.

HUGS!

It is really good that you like your surgeon and trust him. I am glad you have such a good outlook on the whole thing, that is what is going to help you more than anything.

Slick, you do those exercises, and whatever else they tell you to do. You are such a dear and sweet friend to me. I will keep prayers coming your way.

HUGS,
Willie

That's great, a good surgeon who will answer all your questions. Stay busy till then, and before you know it, you'll be on the road to recovery! My mom survived many many years after her bout with cancer. Your're in my prayers daily!

I didn't get a chance to post today but I was thinking of you. I'm glad to hear you really like your surgeon and that he's willing to take the time to talk to you, so many now are so busy they don't take the time to listen and answer questions which doesn't help.

Excersize.. I thought the perk of being ill was you were waited on hand and foot while you layed in bed...
