One Year "Surgy" for Me...........and Something Less Pleasant

Oh, Nancy!  How very sweet and kind you are.........thank you!  Yes, we crazy Italians tend to be overachievers sometimes -- to the point of being a big PITA for some people LOL  This is one time being focused and determined is what it's all about.  Much like beating obesity!  Cancer doesn't stand a chance with the great support system and medical team I have helping me along!

You're so close to goal............it must feel great.  I'm still trying to reach just "overweight" status LOL  But at this point, seems like the medical people think being "chubby" isn't a totally bad thing........at least for now!

I will add your friend to my prayer list -- sounds like he's doing very well -- a few extra prayers won't hurt!

Thanks again

 

Love you. Think the world of you. Congrats! So not fair! FUCK!

I know you will travel this new road with grace and dignity. That is just how you roll. Prayers coming  your way.

Bear Hug and love!

Devon!  My handsome hero   You've shown me the way so often with your posts on dealing with food. 

Thank you so much for your warm thoughts.  You have no idea how much this all means to me.  As you know, I have NO support here -- in fact, he's even said I'm "using this cancer thing as an excuse" -- though he doesn't explain just what that means LOL  I'm still a little bewildered how I can be "using" it at this point -- I just found out last Tuesday.  GADS

I know that I'm scared    and very ANGRY   My surgeon said the same thing you did......not fair!  He didn't include the expletive, though LOL  I luv that you did -- made me giggle!  Life isn't fair........but we seem to remember only those times when life treats us badly.  We forget about the times we receive blessings we might not truly deserve!

What I know for sure is that with all the amazing, warm, loving people such as you from OH and MFP, I have the BEST support family anyone could ask for.  My medical team are top-notch and are already doing everything as quickly as possible to make this battle successful.

I'll take all the prayers, bear hugs and love you want to send me.  They help in ways you may not even realize

Love you, too.......

You're amazing Ree!

I don't know what other words to even write with all that has happened and the new journey you are having to endure. You are an inspiration and your positivity shines through you.

Your journey thus far has been incredible and I know you will continue to kick butt. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!

Amy

Awww......thank you Amy!  I'm only as strong as those who support me..........you are all so wonderful.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers........I know they can work miracles!

You're so close to goal now -- keep on truckin', my friend!  Won't be long now!!!

Ree

I always click on your posts as we traveled this journey @ the same time for your inspiration. Like other's said " we believe in your fight!" So beat this cancer knowing we are cheering you on, praying for you, sending positive vibes or whatever you need. You got this!!! ( Wish Mr Mack Truck had veered away from you...but you can kick him to the curb I know!!!)

How delightful you are!  I really appreciate your comments.........knowing there are people who care will make this new journey much easier!

Thank you so much

Hi Ree

Thank you Lynda..............it's been a heck of a ride so far!  I'm a new woman these days -- and those bones that I'm discovering!  OH BOY!  This is fun!!!  The new journey with cancer has me a little off-center, but I'll get it together.  With the help of everyone who has sent messages here and my MFP family and my medical team, I know this will have a good outcome.

Thanks for the good thoughts, too -- they always help!

My sweet Ree.  What can I say first but to say that I really love you.  I really do.  You & your posts touch my heart every time.  You have accomplished tremendous success in the midst of your not so good news.  I will be praying for you daily my friend & I know you will do anything & everything in your power to overcome this. 

We are worth everything ... EVERYTHING.  I need to remind myself of this everyday & not take a damn thing for granted.  We affect everyone's lives that we touch & you certainly have touched mine.
