Leenova54, just wanted to say that I used your idea and sent a fsl angel to a friend who just lost her daughter to complications of diabetes and kidney failure. It's name is the "angel of friendship" Gave me such a good feeling! I hope it helped my friend a bit to know she was thought about.

She (and you) have been on my mind. I don't have cancer, but doctors have found a second tumor in my upper chest/neck. I'll find out next week about the surgery--the tumor is under my collarbone, and is wrapped around by vessels from my heart. I am both dreading and looking forward to the surgery. I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions that you must go through. I pray for you daily.

Debra, I do hope that you still gave the angel that you made for your friend to a member of her family.

parkermom - I can't remember your 1st name - I am so sorry. It does sound like you are gong through so much - I wished there was something I could do to help you to ease the pain.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. My first name is Jennifer. I don't feel as though I'm enduring so much, really. This surgery could be the end of a lot of pesky health issues ( including making no more kidney stones, ouch!) so it's really a fantastic thing that my tumor was found. There's just never a good time to stop everything and go to the hospital.

Happening that it was found. Problem is, there's just no good time to put everything on hold and go to the hospital. I'll just abide by my doctor's directions and deal with it. Thank you again. How are you feeling.
