Can you feel all the beakie kisses and feathers gently brushing your face? The flock and I are sending much love and healing to you, Kirsten.

Get well soon Kirsten. It is very good it was diagnosed early. My dad had it for about 3 years before he had it diagnosed. Its the reason I check myself over 3 times when I come back from the woods.

I hope it goes well for you.

That must be scary but it sounds like you have caught it in time. I know it is not easy, but try not to dwell on it. Keep your spirits up and think happy thoughts. You are tough and you will beat this! Prayers!!!!!

I'm so glad it was caught so early! A man I know had it for over 20 years before it was properly diagnosed and by then it had done a real number on him. I hope you feel better soon.

Add me to the list of well-wishers! I would imagine you are on a strong course of antibiotics, and that, alone, can give you digestive tract "issues".

Get well, get lots of rest, and snuggle with the girls.

I am so sorry to learn this, Kirsten, but I am glad it has been diagnosed so early. Prayers for you that the treatment goes well and you are done with this before long. Meanwhile, do let your furry nurses spoil you with their expert care!

Hugs and purrs,
Pat and cats

Ask your doctor about eating some yogurt halfway between antibiotic doses. It will help replace the 'good' bacteria that the antibiotics kill.

I once had to be on an antibiotic for three months (regularly supervised) and I took acidophilus and bifidus capsules for all that time. My tummy etc was fine. Those items are in good yogurt too.

HUGS!
