You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Best of everything to you!
From my family to you and yours, may the lord bless you and we will light a candle and say a extra prayer for you......good luck!!!
I pray for a speedy recovery for you. Take care of yourself!
to everyone here thank you. It brings me such joy to know that there are pleople like you in this world. we only know each other from this website but it like one big family. I go next week to have the tests I need for the surgury. The doctor is giving us hope by saying that I have a 70% chance of survival after 5 years. He says that my age and physical condition will help with the recover. It was caught early enough that it is giving me a very good chance. I told my DH that we should buy a laptop for me to use while I'm in the hospital so I would have something to do all day lol. He said no but is going to take me to the library to check out some books to read and see if I can learn somthing new while I'm resting. again thank you all
Never Fear, God is always near!
Always think to yourself, "I am already healthy, the light of God surrounds me and every cell in my body is renewed."
There was a similar phrase earlier this year in my "Daily Word" monthly booklet, it helped me stay faithful, positive, & focused before and after a surgery I had in Feburary.
The power of prayer and faith can do things that leave doctors baffled many times.
Hang in there, you're already on your way to recovery 
God bless!

I, too, just saw this thread! You are definitely in my prayers, along with your family and doctors. I will pray that your doctors will be wise, skilled, and thorough. I will pray that your family be optimistic and strong for you, and that when they don't feel strong, that they will find new strength in God. And for you, I will pray for health, wise decisions, faith and comfort!
Take care of yourself, and know that you are in an awful lot of prayers!!
Happy Baking,
Beth
You will be in my thoughts and prayer also.

Well, if your husband will not let you have a laptop then tell him he is going to have to logon and let us know how your surgery goes. Then he will have to get on every day and give you a report of what is happening here at CakeCentral!!
God's blessings.

where are you going to have the surgery?
I didn't want to assume it before, but when you elaborated more, it sounds like it's cancer? My boyfriend Robin was just diagnosed with Stomach Cancer and had his stomach removed. They said the same thing, his health and his age are what helped him in the surgery. He's meeting an Oncologist tomorrow to get more info. We go to Moffitt, they are GREAT.
Let me know if you need anything!
Ditto with what everyone else has already said! My father is going through the same thing. When I pray for him, I"ll pray for you as well. There is strength in numbers!

Mpitrelli and others that may be going through similar issues.
I'd like to share this with you. Several months ago, my father was diagnosed with cancer and it was inoperable. He called me and told me about it. He cried. I have never saw my father cry, as I always thought that he was the one thing that remained steady and solid, never hurt, never wavered in anything. I heard the word cancer and I felt a hollow pit in my stomach. I heard him cry and I lost it. We hung up, neither one of us able to talk about it.
I finally got my act together and spoke with him the next day. We sat down together and spoke openly about it. It's a terrible word.. cancer, almost seems like a death sentence just to say the word itself. We both decided that we would not be beaten before the battle started. We would not be defeated by a simple word. We realized people resign themselves to dying when they hear the word. They die right on time when the doctor gives them the time frame. He promised me that he would not be one of those people. People get cancer everyday. People die. But...people survive cancer everday.
He acknowledged to me "I may die from this and I may not, but I'll be damned if I'll die on anyones schedule. I can beat this."
Radiation treatments, everyday, for 3 months. It is hard on the body, physically and mentally. Everyday, he would go in for treatments and remind the nurses and physicians to smile. He would tell them how much of a difference that a smile would make to him and others being treated there also. A smile to him meant hope. He did not want the lack of someones smile to dampen his mood or anyone elses.
The physical changes were noticable. Beside his bed, we talked. We learned things about each other we never knew. Amazing..after so many years of being so close, there was still much to be learned. Though he was very sick, he never lost the spark in his eyes, the desire to beat back the sickness that invaded his body.
3 months have passed. I answered my phone yesterday. My fathers voice was on the line. He told me that he had beaten it. The doctor had just told him that his cancer was gone. He has beaten it. The point of this is...People survive it everyday. Be one of those people. Go into this with your head on straight. It wont be easy, for you or your family. Meet it face to face. You may just surprise yourself and everyone else.

Dale,
Thank you SO much for that encouraging post. I'm sure it will help Mpitrelli very much, as it will help me with my boyfriend's cancer. He goes in today to get the 'prognosis' - they will be explaining the pathology report from his surgery and what's next in the fight. It really helped reading this before hand. THANKS!
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Ambrosia, my prayers go out to your BF and yourself as well.
dont know you but ur in my prayers. get well soon so you can come back to cc
May you have a speedy recovery!
Having lost one good family friend to cancer.....I just want to say this- never ever ever give up- the minute you decide to give in- it's over....that's why I lost my friend she was getting old and tired and did not want to do what was helping her, she had been fighting it soo long, and eventually she died....but don't you ever give up!!!!!
Try looking into the macrobiotic diet, it's a good diet to be on if you are a cancer patient...my friend had been on it and it was working wonders by keeping the cancer at bay for a little while and keeping her healthy...but 
We are all here for you!!
