It's taken me some time to think of the right words to say and I'm still not sure I've found them.

There are actually several blessings here even though they seem to be "hidden" by the terror that mere word (cancer) instills. As T&P's Mom said, if there ever was a time to be thankful for pneumonia, now is it. Considering the circumstances, you work in one of the best places possible!! Too, there's a favorable prognosis and I'm sure that you'll be on the mend soon.

IFROG and UFROG... thus you know, everything happens for a reason and there'll be nothing given to you that you can't handle. {{hugs}}

I sure HOPE you do!! Now, wouldn't that be fun?!

Love your attitude already. Keep your chin up, and remember we will always be here for you, no matter what.

All fingers & paws are crossed over here for your speedy recovery. Good luck!

Aw, Sweetie, you aren't alone and we will be with you every step of the way!!!

I know how frightening the word cancer is. My dad had a rare type. He was only the 13th person in the US to have that kind and the only one to survive it. One of my aunts had two different types of cancer and beat them both.

Best advice I can give you is eat as well as possible. Lots of good healthy food, laugh as much as possible, cuddle with Max until his eyes pop, and know that we love you and are here for you.

Oh, and extra guardian angels are being put on call to be with you, especially during your surgery and hospital stay!!!

*by the way, I mailed your bd card this morning before I saw this. I wanted to make sure you got it before your bd this year*

Hi you - popping briefly onto this thread to give you my Thursday support.

Yes, Connie, a host of angels - what a beautiful thought.

Lord, Slick, you are already thinking about a "hunk of an intern"..............
wouldn't you know? Shave your legs? Well, thank goodness you won't be doing that at my house!!

You know, I feel as though this thread will be the largest in number of replies in the history of Pet Talk as we keep in daily touch with you and offer you our prayers and love.

xxoo me

**popcornbird** · 08-10-2006, 03:32 PM

Oh Slick. I'm at such a loss of words.

Know that you will be in my prayers everyday, and I just know God will help you pull through this. May He restore your health completely, and help you keep up with this strong attitude, that will help you pass through every single day. The tiels will be sending extra prayers for their very favorite Canadian auntie too.

{{{hugs}}}

**jenluckenbach** · 08-10-2006, 03:46 PM

Slick, could you PM me your email??

I keep losing those things.

**anna_66** · 08-10-2006, 03:57 PM

Slick,

Wow, what can I say? I seen the title of the thread and I thought no...it must be something else, but I'm sorry to see it's not.
I never know what to say at times like these, "I'm sorry" just doesn't seem right. Especially for a woman like you. You have such a great attitude and prospective on the future I know that this is only going to be a small bump in the road for you.
So let me say dear friend that you will be in my thoughts and prayers and if there is anything at all I can do for you...just let me know

Lots of healing prayers coming your way.

(((HUGS)))

I am so sorry(((HUGS)))
I will keep you in my prayers.

**sirrahbed** · 08-10-2006, 03:57 PM

oh...this post rather took my breath away.

(((HUGS)))) to you slick - gini is so right that you are loved and supported by so many folks here (even some you probably have never heard from)

As others have already said - your attitude is so very strong and positive - and I will pray that it stays this way most of the time while you fight your cancer...

Thank you for posting your very personal news and I feel very sure that others will be helped and strengthened by it also.

more (((HUGS))))

Slick,

While I've never REALLY spoken to you I have always admired you. In my eyes you have always been a very strong & intelligent woman. I am without words and cannot express how shocking this thread is. I read this thread when you first created it and was just at loss of words, but all I could think of is how incredibly optimistic you are about this.

Cancer is a very scary thing.. but I know you will be strong.

{HUGS} to you and I will be thinking of you. Feel free to let me know if you need anything.

Kay

Please add my name to those of your many admirers and another who is saddened that this challenge is yours to bear. Of course it's just not fair. I hope that your work gives you an *in* on who will be doing your Sir Jury, and may he/she be the best and the brightest.

**Cincy'sMom** · 08-10-2006, 05:04 PM

Slick, I'm so sorry to hear this news, but as so many others have said, attitude is a huge part of fighting this disease. You have such a great outlook, it is a battle you will win!! And all of us at PT will be here helping you fight!

I have been subtly pushing a couple of our sales guys that they need to take me on the road with them to visit some potential lasrge clients. Two are in the Seattle area, and one in Vancouver. Perhaps, I need to push a little harder....

**moosmom** · 08-10-2006, 05:18 PM

OMG Slick, I'm speechless.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

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