I am here too (trying to keep up to speed)

And you know that we CARE!

What's that surgery date again?? (memory problems, caused by too much cat hair

)

September 14th and my last day of work is September 8th.

For some " weird" reason, all of Slicks appointments coincide with the same dates I have with Doctors and Dentist!!!!

September 8th is your last day at work.~~~~~

and, Jenluckenbach, I don't have any cats, so, what can I use as an excuse for my own memory problems?

(could it be our Dial Up connection?)

dear slick, i've been away for a few weeks and now i'm catching up.i'm so happy for you at this bit of good news in a horrid situation. ((hugs))

Slick, your doctor said that he is 98% sure that they are benign. I think that is the best percentage that anyone can have. You ARE going to come through this with flying colors.

You have so many of us supporting you and we do CARE about what you are going through and about you.

Stay strong and keep the faith.

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

I forgot to add one more thing and this will make you laugh....

On a couple of websites that I researched it said that one of the symptoms of a carcinoid tumour is unexplained weight gain.

Oh no...it's not the three cheeseburgers and double side of fries that I have everyday. It's the cancer that made me gain all this weight.

Dorothy: I'm going to PM you later. Right now I'm waiting on a call from a Cancer Connection volunteer. She is a cancer survivor and has gone through the same thing as me.
