    Belated birthday wishes

    And my deepest, deepest hope that your treatments continue to work and you (pardon the vulgarity) can give cancer the middle finger and tell it to go the freakin' away and STAY away ... and it does!

    Thank you

    Thank you all my sisters for your well wishes. I’m in NYC.  My son got me tickets to the Broadway play Come From Away which is especially meaningful for me since my mother is from Newfoundland and much of my family lives in Gander. Forgetting about cancer and stents for the weekend.

    Terrific!

    Yay, to getting caught up in life and forgetting about stents for awhile.

    Just catching up

    You've had quite an ordeal, Susan.  Enjoy your stay in NYC and Broadway play.  Stay in remission forever and get that stent permanently fixed, please.  I was happy to read that it IS better and more tolerable.

    Best,

    Suzanne

    The time for surgery has come

    So after many fits and starts including getting newly diagnosed diabetes under control and ultimately a nephrostomy (which I affectionately refer to as my “pee bag”), I’m going in for a ureter reimplant tomorrow. I’m hoping this solves my plumbing problem and he doesn’t see anything suspicious while he’s in there. I can’t wait to start my clear liquids and bowel prep this afternoon (NOT!). So wish me luck and if you’re so inclined send a little prayer my way about 11:00 EST that this all goes smoothly.  Thanks for all your previous support  on this treacherous journey. Now onward and upward!

    I'll set my watch alarm for 11 a.m. est

    Way to go!  I'm sure it hasn't been easy to get cleared for surgery - and now to literally get cleared for surgery.  May the doc have a keen eye and clear mind and may you heal quickly!

    You are a champ!

    Cheese, you have helped so many with the telling of your experience. Hopes and prayers are flooding upward for you as you see from all of us. I mentioned this site last week with my rads doctor and told him that I valued all your advice as much as his. May the surgery and results be the best and relief be great. Hugs from NC!

    Thank you

    all for your prayers and best wishes. As I tell my church families, it’s like being wrapped in a warm blanket.

    I have set an alarm also.

    You'd better warn the OR staff that if they feel an electric force field in there, it's all of us concentrating on you. 

    Good luck!
