Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
 

I am wishing the best for you all this holiday season, and most of all, wishing you many more! I said I would report my 6-month PET and tests, but have not been able to have them yet. I was in the hospital with a blood clot in my right lung. Am out now and the blood thinners seem to be working. I am scheduled now for the tests on January 2 so will post results as soon as I get them.
Some of you may have read this special poem from The Cancer Crusade. I wanted to share it in case you haven't. I think it sums up the attitude we all have on this website, and I send it with love and prayers to you all. Thank you for your love and friendship! TriciaK

THE BIG "C"
"The big "C", I heard someone call it,
Another just whispered the word.
That we don't even dare to say "Cancer" outloud
Gives it power it doesn't deserve.
So I'm giving the letter new meaning
And refusing to give in to fear.
I'm reclaiming the power for you and for me
By saying these words loud and clear:
Let the "C" be for "CURE" and "COMPASSION",
Let it stand for the "CANDLES" we light.
And a "CHORUS " of voices shouting "You CAN"
To all who will take up the fight.
Let the "C" be for "CASH CONTRIBUTION",
"CREDIT" or "CHECK" will work too.
Let it stand for "COMMITTMENT" and "CHECK-UPS"
and "CHEER",
And the "CHILDREN" "COUNTING" on you.
Let it mean that we know our "CREATOR"
Is beside us each step of the way,
And remind us to "CALL" on His strength and His love
And to "CELEBRATE" every new day.
To everyone facing this "CHALLENGE"
I say it's a fight we WILL win,
Tell all who will listen that, starting today,
THE "C" is for "COURAGE", my friend.

Hi Tricia, It's so nice to hear from you. Although I am so sorry to hear about about your recent stay in the hospital. That's the last thing you needed. I'm glad your doctors are taking such good care of you...your a true warrior woman so I will pray that you have all this taken care of and behind you soon.

May you & yours have a very Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year! Sending warm healing thoughts and prayers your way. (Thanks for the poem, I haven't seen that one before.) :)
