(Off Topic) Hi guys--- been a little preoccupied

10 years ago

Next Wednesday, the 31st, I will be having surgery to remove an invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer tumor). Please send a little prayer my way that everything goes smoothly.

Thanks!

    My prayers are with you as well, Betty!!! Please let me know if there's anything you need - I'm just a few blocks away, so can easily run an errand for you and stop by! But I'll be giving you a call anyway :)

    Oh thank you so much! You guys are just great. Popmama, and tomatoz, and aloha, and Marj, and Liz, and Chloe, your prayers and good thoughts are all I need! It's times like this when they matter most.

    From diagnosis to surgery has been less than 2 weeks, so I haven't really had much time to stew about it . Knowing there are prayers headed my way really helps. :)

    My thoughts will be with you on the 31st, and after.


    Courage, b2alicia.


    However, be kind to yourself and take good care.

    Just got a message from b2alicia's friend, and she says the surgery went well and Betty is doing fine. I'll be giving her a call tomorrow to check in, but thought I'd give everyone an update.

    Whew! I'm sending out 'been there, done that, still kicking!' vibes and lots of prayers, Betty. Let us know what your next steps are and how we can support you.

    Still thinking of you b2alicia. Hope you are doing ok. Let us know if you need anything.

    I just saw this. I hope all is going as well as possible. May your recovery be rapid and complete with no complications. Take care.

    We missed you at the swap, b2alicia! Along with Poly, everyone sends their well wishes!!

    Betty, chemo is a whole 'nother ball of wax...please let me know if you need someone to talk to who's been there! Remember:

    1) Hoodies! (the back of your neck will get colder than you would have thought possible)

    2) Crystal Light Fruit Punch, for the days when drinking another glass of water is beyond your power.

    3) Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies. Dove ice cream bars. Kneaders cinnamon rolls. Because you will need moments of pure joy. :)

    You are in my thoughts and prayers.
