Thank you for reminding Minx. I had completely forgotten that I had ordered some beeswax candles for Christmas last year. I always had them when I lived in Germany and they were inexpensive. Here, they are more difficult to find and cost a pretty penny. I wonder where I put them. I'm going on a scavenger hunt this evening.
I remember when your brother passed away. I'm also sorry about your friend. I've lost some of my closest friends over the last few years and it is not easy letting them go.
This is one of the reasons that the original diagnosis several weeks ago knocked me for a loop. I'm the healthiest I've been in years. I forgot to mention, if I'm in a situation where I'm not able to prepare my own meal, I remove the skin from meats before eating. It drives my friends batty when we're in a restaurant, but it makes me ill now.
I'm still confused myself. I'm almost hesitant to trust these new results, but I didn't trust the previous results either, so... I'm going with No Cancer.
I read this last night before going to sleep Bod, and was appreciative of the timeliness of those needed words. Your reminder played round my head before sleep, at 2:30 a.m., and all this morning.
A little while ago, I received the call from the doctor. I'm in disbelief, but it is NOT cancer! I haven't drawn a normal breath for weeks. I certainly don't understand how prior testing indicated positive results for cancer, and these most recent biopsies indicate otherwise, but I will go with the biopsy results. The doctor wants to see me every three months over the next year to keep a close eye on me, but.... Merry Christmas to me. Thank you ALL for your incredible support, prayers, affirmations, positive energy. It all worked!
I am sorry about your father. What you say is true, that at least when death is not unexpected, words can be said and time so precious. It's a pity we forget this in the day to day rush and responsibilities.
RE: Is it worth creating a thread about real life situations..
