Thoughts and all that sappy stuff

[Rob]

Sorry to hear this Shannon.  Please keep us posted.  I hope everything goes as well as possible given the situation.

[Diddly]

Holy crap, that's horrible news. Thoughts are with you, you can beat it! Hope everything goes well.

[CorranHorn]

I'm sorry to hear this, but know that cancer is beatable. If you go in with a positive attitude you can surely beat this.

Be strong Shannon and you'll be able to over come this.  If you ever need to talk or have questions, feel free to pm me - I know about different types and various stages of cancer first hand so I know just venting/talking can help sometimes.

Sending prayers your way,
Beth

My thoughts are with you, Shannon.

[John C]

I just wanted to add that I'll keep you in my prayers.  Hopefully what you have was caught in time to be taken care of. 

[Darth Broem]

Oh no!  I am sorry to hear that Shannon.  A prayer has been sent up to Heaven already.  You will be able to beat it.

Shannon, hang in there my friend.  My Grandma is a cancer survivor, and one of the strongest people I've ever met.  The support and love of family and friends really does help, and never underestimate the power of prayer.  Here is a favorite quote of mine:
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow.  The same loving Father who cares for you today, will care for you tomorrow and every day.   Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.  Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings."
St. Francis de Sales

Be strong, and be brave.  We're all rooting for you!!

[Morgbug]

All my hopes and prayers are there for you too Shannon.

Kick.  It's.  Ass.

[Mister Skeezler]

I'm sorry to hear about that Shannon, but you're a tough cookie, and I know you'll beat the hell out it. 

[Shannon (Princess)]

Thanks everyone... I will fight it and give it my best...
right now though, it's kind of kicking my butt... hopefully the doctor will give me something to help tomorrow and more info on what I'm facing...
I'll let you all know...

[Infamy Of Crete]

So this is what you were doing today instead making my breakfast and you told me you had responsibilities to do.  Don't  make me drive to Sherman!   

[BigDumbWookiee]

My thoughts are with you Shannon...

[Shannon (Princess)]

Okay everyone, I'm tired as anything, so this is cut and paste from what I said in that other forum  
Okay, well, I'll try to make this short and get it over with. 
Oncologist says it's a Level IIIB cancer- and I forget the type- and can't find it anywhere- but it's audemic or something- but it's not squamous (which is the more common of the two).  Basically, it's spreading around inside me and it's something a little surgery won't be able to fix.  I'm going to have to get a couple of cat scans tomorrow morning and then once they see it better then I'll need to go into radiation and chemotherapy.  (Nurse says it's not the type I'll lose my hair with- although it would have kind of maybe been fun to do an little Alias thing there- okay, not funny at this point, but I'm trying to keep my humor.)  Anyway, 6 weeks of that and then back to the oncologist to see the results.  They are going to get me started asap to try to fight it.  I wish I had better news.

Shannon....
We are the ones with the better news... the news that you have people out here on the other side of the net pulling for you and sending all the good kharma and vibes your way.

I have known many cancer survivors.  We have an American Cancer Society Relay for Life walk this weekend here.  I will be lighting a candle for you during it to help light your way to the end....where you will be a cancer survivor on the other side.

All our best out to you.  Try and stay strong and realize you have our strength to go with it.
