I have cancer....the road to recovery

**Dorothy39** · 08-31-2006, 07:41 PM

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'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers throughout this ordeal. Thanks for keeping us updated..........

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.

You hang in there, girlie, or I will send Mack to you......

Are you sure you want him, Vickie??? Really????

Love you girl. You just take one day at a time and if you need me (or Mack), we're right here, along with some other choices!

Dear Slick,

You just keep on keepin' on and you'll be 100% there!! Easier said than done but try to focus on the positive. Stress is no fun and something you sure don't need in your life right now. Give Max more hugs than he can stand, call your friends and have a good laugh, munch those lemon drops with vigour and always remember your cup is half full, not half empty.

Hugs and healing thoughts for you always, Betty

Sounds pretty positive overall, Slick. Good luck with the cardiologist next week (as you know, we're dealing with those issues too). Prayers & healing vibes still headin' your way from OH!

I can sort of know how anxious you are to get it over with. I remember how nervous I was last year for my operation. Hang in there and we'll get through it together.
