I have cancer....the road to recovery

**borzoimom** · 11-26-2006, 11:21 AM

I have seen alot of commercials for a place called the "Cancer Treatment Center". They use a series of cures and treatments with a excellent success rate. Here is the link : http://www.cancercenter.com/ .
I am in shock here. I went through a scare two months back, almost afraid to say it out loud. Mine ended up not being.
Please contact these people. I am at a loss for words what else I can say.
YOu are in my prayers for recovery.

Thank you borzoimom but I live near Vancouver, BC Canada. Those treatment centres are only in the States. I'm sure we have something similar up here but believe me, I'm in good hands. I love my surgeon and trust him with my life.

Have decided that since my outside Christmas lights went up on Wednesday, that today is a very fitting day to put up my Christmas Tree. I'm so looking foward to the lights. The only thing missing is my Speckles. She so loved to sleep under it on on the tree skirt.

Oh Slick, I'm sorry. I know how you feel. A lot of us will be missing our special one this Christmas.

OH Lord- maybe you could stay with someone near one of the centers? I live in Virginia... My heart feels for you.. I had a awful scare.

**borzoimom** · 11-26-2006, 12:04 PM

I am sure they have similar centers there. Call them- maybe they can give you a referal. Trusting your doctor is most of it. I understand TOTALLY HOW you feel about waiting to say it- there is always "how"....

Slick, you're still in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that eveything goes well on Tuesday. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Edit: forgot to say that it's snowing really hard here right now so Max and I have decided to stay curled up in front of the gas fireplace today. Hmmm, bon bons anyone??

I've been wondering how your recovery has been since we last heard from you. My life has been upside down so I haven't had much time for PT. Sorry to hear about these other problems but I'll send vibes over to lessen their effects. How are you supposed to catch Santa if you're short of breath?

What's with this weather?

You're getting snow and Toronto is getting warm weather! We've had no snow yet and Wednesday they are forcasting 16 degrees!!! I think Vancouver and Toronto switched places but didn't tell us.

Check this out: www.wellspring.ca

Also, a friend of mine and her partner(in Vancouver), who is battling cancer, have gotten a lot from the Integrated Health group (I think that is the name).

Also - check out Greg Anderson's book 50 Thing To Do After You are Diagnosed.( I think that is the title). I have heard raves about it.

That is so GREAT you have a surgeon that you trust and really like. The above are adjuncts to what you and he are doing, not substitutes.

HUGS HUGS HUGS to you! Hope to see you next weekend.

As always, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Slick~

I've marked that date on my calendar and I will keep you in my thoughts !!!

Thank-You for keeping all of us updated.

Yes, I will take a Bon-Bon of course.

Slick, I'm sorry to hear that recovery is slow. Prayers sent that your appointment goes well. *HUGS*

Slick I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Prayers that your appointment goes well.

She so loved to sleep under it on on the tree skirt.

Boy, reading that brought back some strong memories for me, Slick. Speckles and Mimi must have been two peas in a pod. I will miss having my Mimi sleeping under the tree this year, but I'm sure the tree skirt bears some fur from over the years. She loved the Christmas tree, bless her sweet heart. I will miss her this Christmas, as I know you will miss Speckles, too.

I continue to have you in my prayers, my friend. I hope that your appointment on Tuesday will bring you some answers. You need to feel better! You deserve to feel better!!!!

Much love,
Logan
