Good Morning everyone,
I'm still anxiously awaiting my test results but healing nicely from surgery. Thank you to everyone for your prayers, kind thoughts & gentle hugs.

All of you who are having a tough time as well are in my prayers and i hope everything turns out ok for you.

MrsM, any news yet? Thinking about you, hon! hugs...

Listen girls... maybe some good news. Little Dougie... his parents saw the surgeons, and they're 99% sure that it's not a tumor but just a growth of bone! They'll have to operate, and there's still some danger in that, but wouldn't it just be wonderful if it weren't cancer?

Den darling, how is your mom? Come and let us know how you're doing when you can. hugs...

Terri, how's your mom doing? Keeping her in my prayers, hon.

Virginia, how is Pam? Still on the mend, I hope.

Thinking about all of you...
lots of love...
xoxo ellis

yea * happy dance* That is wonderful news Ellis. I will still continue to keep that little boy in my thoughts.

Any good news from the rest of you girls? I am still thinking about all of you (and your moms & friends.)

Chris - are you still hiding out? I hope you are doing ok hun.

Hi Ellis,
Pam is not doing too badly, however, she thinks she is passing a kidnet stone, and is hoping to do so very quickly as it is quite painful. Her color is much better, and she only has one day left on antibiotic. SHe is going back to work on Monday. I think she will find it very hard, but she loves to work. Her _itch of a boss had the nerve to tell on of her co-workers that she does not think she should have had the whole week off. I would like to take that chick my the throat and ..... Never mind! Not work getting worked up over, but it makes me so made. Of all people I know, other than my hubby, she works the hardest and is more deicated to her work than anyone I know.
Oh well, some people have to belittle others to make themselves feel better. Sad but so true!
Sorry for ranting!

Virginia

Hi everyone!

Mrs.M how are you, any news about your tests?

Wantto losealot-hope your mom is feeling better soon.

Den and Teri-I hope both your mom's are doing better, keep us up to date when you can.

Prayers and for all who are in need of them these days.

Hi everyone,
My DH's cousin finally lost to a very long battle with cancer, just over an hour ago tonight. He has been sick for around 7 years now, so it is really a blessing but also very sad. He was such a fun loving man and everyone compares my hubby to him. Such a zest for life. Although , he can no longer be comforted by prayers and warm vibes, his family can be comforted in knowing he was loved by many. So I would really appreciate it if you would say a little prayer or send loving vibes to the family of Gordie. He will be missed deeply!
Thank you
Virginia

Virginia, dear... sending prayers and love to Gordie's family. How wonderful that he's left such love and such good memories for them. hugs....

Virginia-sending a prayer for Gordie, his family and you.

Hey Everyone
Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you. I finally got my test results last thursday. What i have is not Cancer, It is called Fibromitosis or something like that & it is not life threatening. It is very rare to be found in the breast, most of the time it occures in the abdominal cavity. My surgon wants me to go see a specialist in Chicago that deals in nothing but breast health. DH is not real thrilled with the idea of me seeing a Dr. 4 hrs from home so i have agreed to do some research on the internet to see what we can find out about it and if we can find a Dr. a little closer to home that specialises in it. I'm only about 2 1/2 hrs from St. Loise and 2 hrs. from Indianapolis so hopefully there will be someone a little closer to me.

Part of the reason my Dr. is so addimit that I see a specialist is because he has never delt with anyone with this in the breast and because of the size of the are he had to remove in order to get it all. It was something like 8 x 5 X 4 cm.

I'll keep you all posted on how the research goes. Sending good Thoughts to all and thank you all so much for your prayers.
MrsM95

ps - incision is healing nicely but i'm still pretty soar.

MrsM, what wonderful news!
What a relief... phew!
hugs, hon... let us know if you're able to find a closer doctor. Otherwise, I'd DEFINITELY go to that specialist, no matter how far away she/he is.
xoxo

MrsM - so glad to hear the news....it is a sigh of relief, I am sure. I've had a couple scares, and it wears on you. Please let us know how it all works out.

Virginia - sending a blessing and warm hugs to you and your family. This may sound corny, but I'm reminded of a line from a Beatles song by what you wrote: the love you take is equal to the love you make


Thinking of you all with Love, Terri

Virginia - I need to clarify - I am sending a prayer that his life blessed those around him.

I get tongue tied online sometimes. I am one of those people who mostly talks with her hands - so I apologize if I come across the wrong way in writing. But my intentions are there
Love, Ter

I am starting to worry about Chris again.

Have there been any Chris sightings on any of the threads? Anyone heard from her?

When I first joined, she made me feel so welcome. I hope she's doing ok.


Terri

No problem Terri, You came across just fine. I just wanted to say thank you to you all who hae sent prayers and blessings this way. His funeral is tomorrow at 11 am. Such a sweet guy, and a year younger than my hubby. Only 37, leaving behind 7 and 9 year old sons. Almost my kids ages! They are 8 and 10, and my hubby 38, so it does hit home very much. ANyway, thanks again and love to all!
Virginia

I am so happy for you MrsM!!! But see a specailist no matter where he or she may be. If they are closer to home, wonderful, but if not cart your butt the 4 hours.

Virginia, hugs to you and your family. It is hard when the circumstances are so close to your own. But at least Gordie is better off and no longer in pain/sick.
