THE BIG "C"
Have you had it? Do you have it now? (I have it now). So, what are the next steps? Thankfully my Ron showed me how to move forward with Cancer.
Today would be my best friend Pat's 80th birthday. She had MS. She also showed me how to move forward through a dreaded disease. She died on this date 36 years ago at the young age of 44.
When the urologist told me the tumor was malignant I thought I would choke! Then I remembered all of my dear friends and family members who were brave and strong and loving and caring through debilitating illness. I felt their presence through both of my surgeries and will through all that is to come.
I'm so sorry to hear this. My dear sister fought for 7 years. You have me and so many others that are on you side. Sending healing energy, prayers and just being here if you need to talk, or scream, or just need a shoulder. I know you have the spirit of a fighter in you. Hugs and love N.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many who inspire me. I believe this too shall pass. I know how brave you are dealing with Lupus in your "spirit of a fighter".
DeleteOh No!! Is this something surgery can fix? and the dreaded Chemotherapy too? I am so very sorry to hear this. I dodged my own C bullet many years ago (36 years) with a hysterectomy when pre-cancerous lesions were found.
ReplyDeleteI am hopeful the last surgery will report good results in two weeks. Glad to know you dodged the bullet and I shall also.
DeleteI had a cancer scare and colon surgery but miraculously, the growth proved not to be cancerous (which the doctors could scarcely believe). But that's as close as I've come, apart from a bit of pre-cancerous skin that was cut out of my leg. I send you all my best wishes for your cancer journey, for courage and hope, and for a great outcome.
ReplyDeleteYes, my doctor too was shocked at the benign report. Neither of us were expecting that. Thank you for your encouragement.
DeleteI am so sorry to hear that you have cancer. I have survived 22 years since my diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer. It still amazes me because I didn't expect to survive and I didn't expect to survive this long. I hope you do well with your treatments and are with us for quite a while to come. Sending my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Lisa. If I can make it 22 years after this diagnosis I will be more than happy. Thank you for your prayers.
DeletePrayers said. Check out all of your options. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteLinda I am hoping for some great options. I always love hearing from my Kansas neighbor. Hope to keep everyone company. Love your prayers.
DeleteGentle hugs to you, I am praying for complete healing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mimi. I am hoping for complete healing also. Despite the diagnosis I feel great and trying to believe this, though I can doubt. Love you for your prayers.
