Tuba---- I don’t know how scary it is for you, I can’t understand what this must be like, I only remember, this summer, waiting for the surgeon to tell me and my dad if he got all the tumor. My mother is 100% and your sister will be,too. ---

I hope you hear the word “benign” very soon, Tuba. I don’t think there’s a more beautiful word in the English language. ---

Thanks Tubadiva for reminding me to do my monthly self exam. Warmest thoughts and wishes for your sisters speedy recovery and good test results. Though I don’t post often, I do read the message board frequently and feel like I know you. Thanks again for reminding me just how precious life is. ---

TubaDiva, Dark Lord and all cancer sufferers. Lost a wife to it nearly five years ago, so I know the pain. All positive vibes I can muster are headed your way ---

Fighting cancer once is tough enough. Fighting it twice is something that nobody should have to go through. Take strength from the fact that your sister beat cancer once. You now know that she can beat it again. ---

I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath for the past two weeks. I believe that all of you helped bring about a little miracle here, I believe that with all my heart. And I am grateful. Now we need to pull together and work the same miracle for all our friends and loved ones that face these challenges like my sister just went through. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bless you and thank you. Jenny your humble TubaDiva ---
