You are a strong, positive role model for anyone facing cancer and other hardships beyond their control. Suz on "What a relief...thank God !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-reliefthank-god#post-1141275 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 02:34:11 +0000 Suz 1141275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, Isabel -- YOU are the one who is wonderful. Truly. What a joyful, fun, and funny presence you are. And somehow you manage it in the face of so much stress.  Anyway, I'm just relieved that you are an "interesting" case rather than a sad statistic. However stoic and brave you are, and however great your support network, it must have been incredibly difficult to be waiting on the news through the holiday season, especially with your parents unwell. Being part of the sandwich generation can really make a person feel squeezed, can't it? I know I feel that way a lot of the time, with far less cause -- I have my health (thank goodness) and only one child (albeit with special needs, but you have that as well) and only one parent living and needing care....and I STILL want to scream and tear my hair out some days. Well, ask Mr. Suz, some days I do! Luckily, he gets it.  But you're right - it's such a blessing to come to the forum and laugh and think about clothes. And to always be able to check in. I know I have checked at times of trouble -- waiting with my mother in the doctor's office, waiting with my daughter. Just to have a place to go, a happy place. It's a good thing.  SO, so glad that you are okay, sweet Isabel.  xoxo Susan Isabel on "What a relief...thank God !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-reliefthank-god#post-1141246 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:49:00 +0000 Isabel 1141246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all !  It is just so great to celebrate with friends.  This is such a place of respite for me, you have no idea.  Suz, your post in particular touched me because you notice when I am around. Wow.   :  )   I had my first endoscopy around Thanksgiving.  Then the follow up 10 days ago.  Thanksgiving through the beginning of this year was crazy , so I wasn't around much.  Plus both my parents are in heart failure and both need defibrillator implants and it all came to a head around the same time. So it has been nuts.  The last couple of weeks have given me a bit of a breather so I have been on more.   I tried to put the possibility that it was cancer again, out of my mind as much as possible. There is nothing that I could do.  And I am not done with the first cancer bout, so I already had a planin place if it was cancer again.  Plans make me feel better !   And I have access to the most wonderful physicians and nurses and social workers and psychiatrists.  That puts me furthere ahead of the game than most people.  Was I scared ?  YES !  But whatever it "is" ,  I was going to face it.  There is no choice. So I might as well enjoy what I can while I can.  I have also felt all along that no matter what the stats are ( and I don't usually like to know stats for prognosis ),  SOMEONE has to be the statistic that works out well.  And I am going to fight like hell to be that statistic.  It might as well be me.      : )   Why not me ?   They still have to figure out what this all means, but at this point, no malignancy is great !  This wonderful "place", YLF, brings me joy. Lots of it !  I laugh, I cry, I contemplate, I am entertained by wit and outfits and all the wonderful, wise women here ( and Greg ).   All one one place...for no admission fee.  Talk about being on the good side of probability !       Eliza on "What a relief...thank God !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-reliefthank-god#post-1141239 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:35:39 +0000 Eliza 1141239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So happy for you and your family, Isabel. annagybe on "What a relief...thank God !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-reliefthank-god#post-1141237 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:34:18 +0000 annagybe 1141237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great news rae on "What a relief...thank God !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-reliefthank-god#post-1141225 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:19:28 +0000 rae 1141225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay!!
