Thank you ALL

First I want to thank all of you.  For your prayers, kind thoughts, cards, e-mails, posts, Alice's visit.  I am blessed.

I am home.  The pathology reports show no cancer cells in any of the tissuue Dr. Zervos removed.  Thank you God!

I have the best family and friends in the entire world.

My 2 girls (daughter and daughter-in-law), went with me to appointments, sat through my surgery and the 'in and out' afterwords.  Then jus****ched me sleep.  Eventually my DIL had to go to commoittments with our grandson.  The older grandson came to sit with his Aunt Judi and watch Gramma sleep.  Lucky man.  He was there to see the nurse jam a tube up my nose and down my throat.

Then it was my son's turn.  He sat and sat and sat.  I slept and slept and slept.  I know how boring it is to sit and watch someone sleep.  But I also know how wonderful it is for the sleeper to know that someone is there.

My daughter's employers sent 2 weeks of Schwan meals.  A HUGE variety.  All things that can be easily nuked.  I won't need to cook for anyone for 2 weeks!

My DIL's co-workers sent 2 bags of supplies for me.  Books, games, money, snacks, chap stick, all manner of things I can use.

I have 2 huge incisions.  I go back on Oct 2 to see what Dr. Zervos plans for my following treatment.  I am hoping it means no radiation.  My DIL will go with me to listen with me.  My son says she is going to tell on me!  Why does no one believe I can just sit here and be an invalid for a few days?  HMM, I can't even believe that!

My DH and I are scheduled to go to Oregon in November to babysit for 2 weeks.  If we can't make that committment it will be a LARGE hardship for many people.  I will not let that happen.

Thanks again to everyone.  This is the best group on the net.  You are all so caring and supportive!  I think I'm gonna watch a little TV and take a nappy-poo in my recliner.

 

it is soooooooooooooooo wonderful to see you here! um...my card is sitting here- for lack of your address!!!!! you have been in my thoughts and prayers tho!!!!

take care...we're here....

How wonderful for you.  NO CANCER is what we all prayed for.  Don't push yourself.  Relax and grow strong.  Rest Rest Rest.
What wonderful children you have.  And to get food from your daughter's employers, that's too good to be true.  Does she work for Schwan's?
Hopefully you'll be strong enough to go to Oregon in November.
Take Care.  Praise God.

My daughter is the COO of a company in Oregon.  They are a family outfit that encompass 3 corporations and they own about 30 or so Taco Bells and Long John Silvers in 2 states.  They are the greatest most caring family.  Our DD began working for them 'on the line' making food when she was 16.  She worked her way up.  She is now 40.  Is a franchisee, she is also a  part owner in about half of them and the Chief Operating Officer for the 3 corporations.  We are very proud of her.

I am so happy to read your post and that is great that the cells had not spread!  Prayers and positive thoughts do work and your spirit will conquer the rest!

Much love and good thoughts for your return to health and therefore your ability to go to Oregon in November.

Hugs, Laureen

I'm so glad you are OK, or as OK as someone with cancer can be. Take care, rest and forget about your cares for awhile. We are all there for you in spirit at least, even if we don't send a card, we are thinking about you.

I know I did not send any cards or emails (I am terrible about that) but I did send prayers.  Deedles asked me to add the prayer request onto our NIGHT WATCHMAN thread on the Texas Message Board. 

Besides the support here (which is great), you seem to have good support there.  That was really nice about your DIL's coworkers.  God bless them all, and of course, you.

 Thank GOD that the test came cancer-free!   That's wonderful news.

It sounds like you have your family around you for support - and celebration, now.
That's great news, as well.

I just hope you follow your doctor's advice regarding travel.  Your health is number one priority.

Such wonderful news..And what amazing friends and family you have, you ARE truly blessed. I can feel your post "Smiling". I bet you will be rairing to go by the first of November. Blessings

So glad the results turned out well.
Be sure to get enough rest.
How nice that you had family and friends with you during this.  I'm sure it was of great comfort.

Take good care.
Best wishes
