in Head and Neck Cancer #1
Hello guys and gals,
I'm going to not be posting for awhile...need to go into battle mode. I want you all to know I'll be thinking of you all, and keeping you all in my prayers. I just need to focus and prepare for the 18th. I want to enjoy my moments....my family and life without for a few days thinking or talking about the beast. My daughters Jayne and Maggie will post after my surgery on my site here. Love sent to all ! Katie

    a little R & R
    Hi Katie,

    Are you sure you can leave us alone, who’s going to steer the boat, me? Just kidding, but if you want I will put on my “Katie hat” and fill in for you (again kidding).

    Seriously, you keep me in check (and others) when a thread “lights a fuse”. Cancer is a mean adversary which affects your mind as much as body. Take a break, enjoy the family and the season and get yourself physic to battle once more.

    Best,

    Matt

    Will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers with well wishes. Certainly understand your choice as I too have been spending valuable time with my family and my Mom as she is struggling to recover from a fall and surgery.
    We can give you encouragement but family can give you hugs :-)

    Oh, dear Katie, your warm words will strongly be missed! But I know this is time for you, only for you, your family and your fight mode. I know you will come back and share success story with us! I will be thinking about you! And praying! Take care and... big warm hug for you!!!

    Getting Away
    Getting away from it all is sometimes the best medicine. We all see the need for a vacation from our jobs/careers. So, there should be a need for a vacation from this battle. I recently finished a three-week period during which neither my wife nor I had a single appointment with a healthcare professional. That didn't happen in years. I'm sure your time away will benefit you, make you stronger for the fight ahead.

    And I am very happy that you told us about your absence. Everyone would worry.

    GOOD FOR YOU SISITER
    That's a good plan, we will all be here when you need us. Rest assured all of us will be sending prayers and good mojo.

    It will all work out for you, I can feel it. You are tough and courageous, and will NOT let the beast have it's way with you.

    God bless

    Asking for Success for You
    In the meantime, hope you're treasuring your family and surroundings, and mine is just one of the many well-wishes you'll be catching up on reading after you get back home. Do well.
