Meggie as always u continue to b n my prayers. I pray for
God to give u the grace u need. My heart goes out to u my dear.

Oh girl, I am so, so sorry about this sad news. I really don't know what to say - I feel so badly and please know that I will hope and wish and pray for the best for you. Reading your lovely letter below, I must say God did bless you with a sense of humor and I believe it is one of the things that will get you through this ordeal. I send you my love and 'bear' hugs...take care and we'll all be praying...

Meg, I'm still praying for you. Nothing but the best of wishes and a quick recovery. Hang in there girl and holler if I can do anything.
Mickey

My prayers and thoughts are with you. God bless.

So sorry to hear this news, but remember there is lots of people praying for you, you will always have somebody saying a prayer for you, as your friends at Cute live all over the world. I also wish you and your family strength for the weeks ahead.

All the best for you Meg, thinks of you and prays to the sky that everything goes well.

Thinking of you often

Oh, Meg! I'm sorry to hear about your difficult diagnosis. But I know the power of the prayers from this list (the twins are both crawling now, with nary a setback in sight) so I know that you are going to be well-taken care of. I'm adding my prayers to the rest of the group.

My mom is going into her fifth year post-cancer/mastectomy, and you may be like her. She didn't lose her hair at all, and actually some of the grays reverted back to dark. The chemo is nasty, and I'll be sending tons of extra hugs to help you through that. She said to me that if you are going to want reconstruction, have it done at the same time as the mastectomy since then there will still be all the skin left to cover the prostheses. She didn't do that, and they had to "stretch" her skin to make room. She doesn't want anyone to have to do that, if it can be helped! Of course, she is now regretting that she had the reconstruction done because (in her own words), "I could forget that I was wearing the prosthetic forms, but I'm ALWAYS aware of the implants."

Good luck, peace be with you and your family, and remember that we all love you!

So sorry to hear this Meganne. You are not having a run of good luck at the moment. My thoughts are with you. I am sure things will go ok for you. Take it easy and we are all thinking of you...hugs....

Maganna I will sure keep you in my prayers .I am sorry this is not a good way to spend Christmas . But God will take care of his own and if every one pulles togather in pray he will be there to heal you . I fully belive in yhe power of prayer.
Love you
Lena Mae Hugs and flowers to you!

My payers and thougths will be with you Meg. Good luck and speedy recovery so we can have you back with us. Take lots of care. *

Sorry to hear your news but just remember to keep your will power up high and you will get there. We are all thinking and praying for you so just remember that

Hi Meg,
Don't feel like you have to apologize to us. We know that you have a lot going on and it is a very busy time of year.
Try not to over do it. Take time to take care of YOU. We will be here waiting to hear how you are when you have time to fill us in.
:o)

Please forgive me dear Cute family, if I don't get to answer everyone in person, just know that I have read and cherish every single message of love and support, that each one of you have taken precious time to write to me.

Today is my youngest niece's 35th Birthday and I am hoping to spend a couple of hours with my Sister and her family tomorrow for a little Birthday lunch. But of course I still have to finish making her Birthday card ('cause I always seem to leave things 'til the last minute. LOL)

I have medical appointments all this coming week, in the lead-up to Friday or Monday's Surgery.

I still have nothing planned for Christmas as we were going to have our family get together on the 20th and seeing as I don't yet know which day my OP will be, we've had to just let it hang in mid air until we know for sure.

And of course, as usual I have left everything until the last minute, thinking I would have plenty of time next week to round up everything all in one exciting shopping spree, (since I didn't have my machine to make anything). Told you I leave everything until the last minute! LOL!!!!

Now I've just gone through my dresser drawers and discovered I don't have any PJ's suitable for wearing after breast surgery..... So i'll have to do some quick shopping or sewing so I won't get arrested for indecent exposure. ;-0

And since I'm going to lose my hair later anyway I may as well give myself another clip before my forced holiday, it certainly will save me worrying about having to coiff my hair... LOL!!

I left a message for my son that I want a wig for Christmas, you know the type, bright orange or yellow fuzzy hair like the clowns wear!

I may even buy one and wear it into theatre to break down any sombre mood of the doctors and nurses.
My surgeon was extremely upset when she delivered the news, probably because, being the comedienne that I am, all our previous visits had been (professional) but fun. I ended up giving her a hug before we left, i've been a messenger, of bad tidings, many times and i just hated it when I used to get shot. :-}} So i thought my colourful wig might let her see i haven't let it affect my sense of humour and it's all good.
Well friends, a pair of scissors is waiting for me and many BC books to read and forms to be filled out
So I hope you will please understand that I will try and check in here but just may not be able to keep up with all the replies as much as I would dearly love to.
I love you all and I acknowledge you all as some of the most beautiful friends and family i have ever had the profound pleasure of knowing.
hugs n roses, Meganne

Dear Meganne, mine was a 2, but I choose to have a double mastectomy for peace of mind. I know how you feel, I been there, and you have my email, please if you want to know what is next, email me and I will tell you. The way I had look at cancer is that sometime God send us good gifts, some time we get bad gifts, than in the long run were BETTER for us, well this is one of those gifts, because it will bring you so close to HIM, you now will think I am crazy, but you will see.This is not the end, it is just part of your life and you will be OK, for whatever you need, I am here. Just be strong you will be fine before you know it, yes you do have some rough days ahead but you will make it.Praying for you, Hugs.
