Thank God for early detection & complete eradication! Praying for a complete & speedy recovery Susan!

I *really* like Keavin's comment... was thinking something along those lines last night. Having joined this clientele' only 18 months ago, it's not just somebody who built our instruments on the other end of this thread, and I've never once felt like I was just a client.

As an aside, to reiterate Ms. W.'s advice, one of my co-workers (and close friends) was diagnosed with almost exactly the same cancer this Fall. She immediately had the orthoscopic surgery, and after some time off to recover, is back on duty, completely cancer-free. Get it checked!

Glad you are speedily recovering, and that you are free of offending cells. Thanks for all you've done, and glad you for all you will do!

All in all, a very positive outcome for what could've been a much worse scenario.

Kudos to you for early detection and having the courage to confront and quickly deal with what you instinctively knew was not normal - you are very adept at listening to your body and it paid off.

Kudos to your medical support team for a very complete and careful examination, correct diagnosis, excellent treatment and thorough, caring follow through.

Kudos to your immediate family (and extended Alembic family) for love and support.

With all of that in your favor, this temporary unpleasantness will soon be a distant memory and you will emerge stronger, better and more focused - ready to guide the Alembic ship into a future filled with creativity and endless possibilities.

All of us look forward to sharing that journey with you for many years to come!

Susan -

I'm so glad to hear of your great outcome! Best wishes for a speedy recuperation. And, to you and all the Wickersham and Alembic family, have a restful and renewing holiday break!

Susan,
I love your attitude.

I don't like where you shop.

OK, I admit the thread title had me thinking we'd be reading about another type of problem.......

So glad the news is happy, Susan!

Susan, hope your recovery goes smoothly and quickly, and NO MORE SHOPPING AT THE CANCER STORE, dammit!

Hi to All,

Many thanks for all your good vibes...it actually does help with recovery :-)

Hardest part is doing almost nothing for someone who is used to doing a lot. Can't bend over to pick up anything and can't reach up to get a cup if on a second shelf.

No hugging for fear of bumping the belly and disturbing the 6 incisions...ouch! Grandson had a hard time with this one at first because he likes to sit on my lap and talk to me. And...of course we are a very huggy family...so Air hugs only for the moment are just fine.

Love to All-Susan
