I hate to steal TubaDiva’s thunder (as depressing a thunder as it is), but I just found out that a cyst removed from my older brother’s forehead (the cancer survivor) is cancerous…meaning he’s going to have to fight this again. Would you mind praying for my brother too? His name’s Allan. Thanks. ☹ ---

The surgeon removed a tumor approximately the size of a quail egg. He chose to not do a frozen section, so it’ll be another week before we know the status from pathology. ::: sigh ::: My thanks for everybody for your positive thoughts, affirmations, and prayers, not only for me and mine but for everybody else that has a boat on these same dark waters. We are all in this together, more than we could ever imagine. I send good thoughts to all of you, whatever your situation, this day and every day. Jenny your humble TubaDiva who is damned grateful. ---

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this time, Tuba. Cancer has decimated my family, so I understand the dread, the feelings, the heartache of wondering all too well. Also with you, Catrandom, and your family. silent\_rob, for your family as well. And Dark Lord, that your brother be healed, and healthy again. And for all who are struggling with this awful disease in some way. {{{{{{Tuba&family}}}}}} {{{{{{Catrandom&family}}}}}} {{{{{{silent\_rob&family}}}}}} {{{{{{Dark Lord&family}}}}}} {{{{{{anyone dealing with cancer}}}}}} ---

Well, one of my best friend’s for 25 years got breast cancer (pretty large one too) & another friend of mine, both of her mothers (mother & mother in law) got it within two days of each other. So, I’ve been busy with them. However, at the same time Montfort got the lovely idea to start a forum about me in the Pit. But anyway Tuba, I know what you’re going through & I hope for you the best. My friends & I talked about the Chemo & it’s really not as crappy as one would think it is these days.
