    thank you.

    thank you all. i just got off the phone with her and i read the posts of this to her and i could tell she absolutely loved it. I've had such a miserable day not being able to talk to her, but it seems they've cleared her lungs up and she's getting better. Fuck. She told me to quote her, "thanks so much" to you all.

    She'll be home soon, in a couple of days, I hope.

    This fucking sucks so bad, I can't tell you.

    Hey, sounds good. I'm sorry about your past few days - really. :)

    that's really sad. i hope she gets better and she's back on the board soon.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    OMG!! I had no idea Laura was going through this :( I'm so glad she's doing better. I hope they got it all and she makes a full recovery. I don't know her well, but we've spoken a few times and she is a sweetheart.
    Get well soon sweetie! ((Big Hugs))

    The surgeon observed that the surrounding tissue was normal-looking, meaning that the usual spread that ovarian cancer takes had not started. Of course, they took biopsies to be sure, and they are recommending chemotherapy just to be on the safe side.

    Laura is a sweetheart. It doesn't help that she hates those that are trying to help her. Her doctor is "dr. bitch" and she's got a lower tolerance for pain than most. This is Hell for her. I've been doing my best to impart my high tolerance for pain philosophy to her, and maybe its helping
    a little.
    hearing me read the posts was very helpful, so keep them coming.

    Thanks for the update. I'm so glad everything else looks normal. Chemo sucks, but if that will ensure that she is cancer free, than its worth the suffering IMO. Tell her to hang in there and that we are ALL here for her any time and send our best wishes and prayers. :)

    Thank you, sweetie. Thanks so much.

    zstillings pm'd me and gave his regards and i bless him for it. i don't normally bring these sorts of personal things out in the open like this. this was a very tough day and amt was some sort of common denominater for me to express...it was awful, knowing she could hardly breathe, and not knowing how she was doing.... i know this can't hurt.

    thanks all, and keep it up. the worst isn't over.

    its a long way away, but even from Scotland I'm sure you'll hear my voice of support...


    you'll get through this :)

    i know these sorts of threads usually get deleted, but this isn't a usual thread.

    our own hippiemom went in for surgery for ovarian cancer early Thursday morning. i'm having a hell of a day here. she should be home by now, and it doesn't seem like she'll be home soon.

    i've been able to talk to her on the phone the last couple of nights, including the day of her surgery, and she sounded good, but yesterday, her lungs started getting congested. it's not good. she hasn't even been able to walk yet. she should be home by now.

    i miss her so much.

    we can't talk now. so, hopefully, next time we do i can read some of your support words to her. it would mean a lot.

    keep us all updated steppenwolf, please. also, if there is anything we can do...don't let hippiemom be too proud to ask...i mean i don't have much, but if her bills or anything start to get to any point where she needs some help maybe we could help her out as a group. i'd be happy to help with what i can. she may very well be ok financially, i don't know, but health should be number one right now, so she shouldn't have to worry about that too. i'm sure there would be plenty of people here who would be willing to help her out if she needs it. hope all is well...hope it's not offside to bring up financial help...just trying to look out for a good person and fellow poster...

    Hang in there, steppenwolf. We're with you, too.

    steppenwolf... I know its as hard for you as her. These things make us stronger. Can't imagine Laura any stronger... looking forward to it.

    still praying... I don't know how much clout I have with God.. but I'm negotiating.

    keep us posted

    Oh, steppenwolf....I have had her in my thoughts every second since Wednesday night!!!
    I just can't imagine how she must feel right now. Tell her I hope she starts walking soon...and keeps walking. Its all I know that may help her to get home quicker and feeling better sooner....Oh...and it will get her away from Dr. Bitch faster!!!
    And tell her I am so sorry this is going so rough.

    She knows my phone number if she wants to talk...or even just bitch. I have free long distance, so I can just call her back, so its not on her hospital charges.
    I know she expected to be home in 4 days. I am so sorry that isn't what is happening for her.
    Please tell her she will get better. She will regain that strength..it just doesn't feel like it right now.
    God, I hate this news!!! Its bittersweet.
    Save room for dessert!
