I'm sitting here with my "Goomba" (as she calls herself), Ellen Chandra watching the Oscars. There are SO MANY special people I want to thank for being there for me . . .
Ellen of course - for willingly flying in from California and giving up a week of her life to be by my side at the hospital this week (watch out nurses if she doesn't think the care is up to par!)
Kat, for making me certain that I've chosen the best plastic surgeon on the planet by sharing her personal experience with me
Judy, my dear friend in San Diego, who walked 60 miles last year in honor of breast cancer, and who is wearing her t-shirt again as she walks another 60 miles
Rich my "web toy boy" for helping me design this blog
My two BFFs, Mary Lou from Cleveland and Mary Lou from Half Moon Bay, for being there ALWAYS to listen
My friend Shelley from Dubai who has turned me on to Pranic Healing, which will allow me to go into surgery tomorrow with my chakras aligned
Dianne, Julie, Liz, Laura, and all of my friends who have sent me cards and well wishes
Val in Albuquerque who has been a rock since day one of my diagnosis, for openly sharing her wisdom
Patty, Marlene and Nancy H, who have accompanied me to all of my doctor appointments
Kathy in Chicago who is organizing this year's 60 mile walk in Denver for my friends and I
Marlys, Maureen, Deana and Marilyn for providing healthy meals for me during these past crazy weeks
I'm sure I'm forgetting some people but the bottom line is, I will sleep well tonight knowing that all of you have me in your heart and I will enter my surgery tomorrow knowing that you're all praying for me.
Nancy

Hi Ellen. As I did with my husband's surgery (via answering machine - before blogs existed), just leave short phrases on Nancy's blog like "stable, irritable, cries a lot, eating little, smiled once today, etc." Nance has so many supporters who love her.

Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteJust heard that your surgery went well and no cancer was found in the lymph nodes! Praise God! He continues to answer prayers.
Be strong, my sister. You are now counted among the many of us who are breast cancer survivors. Adds new meaning to the term "bosom buddies". ;-}

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy - Of course you're doing well. I hope you'll be out of the hospital this weekend and on the way home. Great that there's lymph node involvement. Take good care. xx sue damour
