Cancer can happen, to any of us!

[Diane4145]

Hi everyone!

I had a heart stress and echo test today, to get cardiac clearance for surgery! Last Friday, I got the great news that I have no cancer, anywhere else in my body! That, was scary! Since I have heart blockage and a total cholesterol of 417, my cardiologist has to give me clearance! Can't imagine, why!lol Things are coming along and I hope to have a surgery date, soon! I'll keep you posted, soon! Brenda, I'm sorry that I haven't been in touch sooner, but, promise I will! I don't understand why anyone could have ANY issues with you, your postings, etc..! You are one of the kindest, most sincere and genuine people, that I've ever known! If you were not on Sowal, it would be our loss! Luv u, Brenda!

Hi Diane

Hey Diane! Glad to see you on here again and thank you for the nice words. I'm still having trouble getting on here. It just takes a lot of time and patience and eventually I can get through. I'm so glad thinkgs are moving along for you and look forward to talking to you again soon. I think of you often and sending positive thoughts your way. One day when you are feeling up to it I'd love to bring my little baby (my chihuahua, Tye) and come visit you and meet you in person. If you are up to it perhaps I could take you to lunch. Call me when you feel like it and of course we will do it only if the weather is cooperating. Don't want you going out in this dreary stuff we keep having these days. It goes right through you to your bones. Once again, I am so glad I could help in some way and make things a little easier for you. I am still here anytime you need to talk or need a little support in any way. Love to you, Brenda

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Doctors and medicine today are really on top of breast cancer . My sister had breast cancer with lymph nodes affected 6 years ago and she has been cancer free. Just think about a double mastectomy as your chance to get reconstructive surgery and go large and fabulous. If you need any help then please pm me.

This is probably the most sexist misogynistic crap I've ever heard. I'll bet you're the type that would tell a victim of incest rape they should delight in the resulting pregnancy. I believe there's a cave with your name on it calling.

Yes, I thought this thread was about Diane's problem and not other people's opinions to it. Let's be nice. Everyone has their opinion and different situations they have experienced. Does not mean it is for everyone, but I don't believe in insulting others with their opinion especially when the focus is Diane and her problem. I think it would be so much better if people would keep derogatory comments to themselves. This thread should be of more of a positive nature and not to comment on other people's posts. Oh boy, I'll probably here it myself now.

Diane, I am just seeing this mail from you. I wish I had known sooner. Had you called I would have been sure to meet up with you. It was a perfect opportunity. I am so sorry I missed you, but I am so glad you were here and had such a good time. You sure did need it. As always, thinking of you and it is always good to hear from you and how you are doing.

After a nice cry, I feel better! The effort to make these comments, is so very much appreciated and beneficial! I'm a very strong and independent person, so getting this diagnosis, has been an experience! I've had people to ask me, "how can you seem so optimistic and calm"? I have several responses, for this. #1. My faith!God has a plan and he will give me the grace and strength, for what may come. #2. My family! I have two wonderful sons and an adorable grandson, to share many amazing years and experiences to come! #3. My future. I have way too much ability, experience and potential, to sit back and die! I know that I make a difference, in whatever I chose to! #4. Helping our furry, friends! The sooner I get on my feet, I'll be able go back to helping animals! I promise to keep you all posted, as I get more information!

Diane, I don't know you but am compelled to let you know I am praying for you. Depend on God and he will see you through this situation. Your strength and courage are obvious. Put them together with trust in God, which you are doing, and I think you are prepared.

May God richly bless you.

Glad to hear you were able to get a trip to the beach, nothing better to help one get rested. Plus nothing is better than a visit with your son and grandson.

Take care and keep us informed.

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd give ya a quick update, on my day after surgery! This cancer thing has been a very frustrating and lengthy process, but, my prognosis is great! Even though there are multiple surgeries involved, I realize that I'm very fortunate, that my breast cancer was very early! I had surgery yesterday in a Mobile hospital, which is all about Mardi Gra! As I was getting ready to go in to surgery, a parade with music, candy and beads thrown, filled the hall ways! It was a great way to lift spirits, for sure! I have a long road ahead, but, I'm facing it with much gratitude and excitement for the future! I plan to be around a long time, for building wonderful memories with my sons and adorable grandson, Jake! I'll keep you all posted and continue to really appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
