OT: Jeanne needs us now

is alone. Her DH has to work. He's dropped her off at the hospital and gon= e on about his work day. She has no one to be there when she's out of surge= ry (maybe already happened -- time difference) and doesn't know how it went= . And she will be alone during her convalescence and follow up treatments.

and send energy and good thoughts and light candles and swear at the hardsh= ips of life for her.

OK...now you've got me totally freaked out. I read on facebook and all, but do we know what exactly is going on??

My prayers are with her for a speedy recovery. Barbara in FL

Prayers and healing thoughts on the way.

She needs us to remember her, send emails, chat, send cards ... and pray and send energy and good thoughts and light candles and swear at the hardships of life for her.

Sunny worried about Jeanne

Prayers and good vibes on the way. As much as anything, this may be their way of coping. I know I sent Himself off when I had my gall bladder op. He was more use working and fielding the GMNT than sitting in the hospital worrying!

Oh, good! I've been thinking of her and hoping she'd be home soon. Thanks for the update.

Yay! Good for her. Keeping her on me list... :)

Her news yesterday was distressing and depressing. Keep holding her close.

Oh Jeanne, I'm so sorry. No one wants to get 'that' diagnosis. As someone who has been on a similar road all I can offier is to take it one day at a time....it's so easy to 'over-think' and end up in a big funk. (Ask me how I know....) Focus on YOU and don't hesitate to ask questions (not that you would) about all of the options and choices....do you have anyone to discuss these with? If not maybe make a list of pros and cons of each method..... knowledge is power even in illness....

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

-Irene

After you explore ALL of your options.........get a 2nd, even a 3rd opinion. Firefly did after the lumpectomy. It was worth it for her as she went with the Dr that she was most comfortable with. Hopefully, yours will be a LONG TERM relationship like hers was.

Thinking of you and praying for you to give you strength and guidance.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this Jeanne. I am in Waiuku but do come up to Auck sometimes. Is there anything at all, I can do??? To email me direct - just take out the word remove. Carol in Auckland

Thinking of you and adding my cyberhugs with healing thoughts. As Butterfly-Wings said, second opinion may give you for additional information. Ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable and fully informed; take notes or a tape recorder with you if you feel overwhelmed with information, and give yourself a couple of days to digest it all.
