Isn't it nice not to be so round these days?  I'm still sort of round, though LOL  Thank you for your kindness -- good thoughts and prayers work wonders!

I'm so sorry that you have this humongous challenge facing you.  Hugs.  But think about how much stronger you are now to deal with it then you were a year ago.  You can do this - we're all behind you 100%!

Thank you very much.........always nice to have people backing me up.  Yes, I think you're right -- smaller body, stronger body from working out -- maybe that combo will do the trick!

There is no other word I can think of except LOVE. You unconditionally have mine and of countless other lives that you have touched in your unique way. Your strength and character is off the charts and that, along with a talented medical team, will get you through this challenge and raise you up.

Your success has been phenomenal and will continue to be so on every level and in every aspect!!

Pink puffy hearts!!!

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for your kind words.  And thank you for your support and love.  Between your pink puffy hearts and my goddesses' happy dust and pixie nuggets, I think that "stew" might be just the thing to help me win this fight!

You are doing exactly as I expected you to do.  I KNEW you were going to knock this out of the park from the get-go and you are doing just that!  Be proud, my dear!

Ree,

Congratulations on a successful first year and your 100 lbs. lost!!!

You have been a bright spot on this forum from the beginning and I am terribly sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

Keep being the strong, vibrant and positive person that you are.

As they say " God gives the hardest battles to the strongest soldiers"

You and your family will be in my prayers.

John

Thank you, John! With all the outpouring of friendship from so many, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. And, as always, prayers are welcomed.

Just a word of caution, if I may be so bold? That's my Little Itty Bitty you're standing next to in that pic! She's special to me, so be good to her, okay?
