Hello to All my Friends here on the board.....Well, I had my surgery last Tuesday at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh. That hospital is one of the best I have ever been in. Everyone takes the time to answer questions. And the views at night are awesome. I met many other cancer patients, heard many stories.

I have an incision from top to bottom. They did not use staples to close..I am glued back together. The best news is that they found nothing extra growing in me. All they took out was my appendix. And the usual lymph nodes and tissues for biopsies. On Friday I got my path report, and ladies, all my reports came back negative, no cancer found, no chemo needed at this time. We will monitor me for now with labwork every few months.

I came home on Saturday and have been slower than a turtle. Just very tender sore and still struggling to calm my belly enough to eat. But I am home. And I am okay. I got a miracle while so many do not. I am so grateful for this cannot put it into words.I know how hard so many here struggle. I watched my Mom with this. To have so many people pray for me and to receive this news has overwhelmed me with so much gratitude that I want to just hug everyone in the world. Miracles do happen, I am up and standing because so many people prayed for me. That's the only answer I can come up with.

For all of you here, I pray that each of you receives the miracle you need this Christmas. May you find peace and joy with your loved ones, not just tomorrow on Christmas, but in the days to come. I hold you all in my heart, God Bless you all and Merry Christmas...Love, Cindy
