Oh my gawd, Tweed, I'm so sorry to hear that.  I had just written you an
email 2 days ago asking if you were OK since I hadn't seen you post lately.

Mega purrs coming that everything goes OK and it's not malignant.  And if
the worse comes to the worst and it is, that at the very least they can get
it all and you'll have a complete recovery.

Please keep us updated when you can.

Hugs,

We're sending lots of purrs and positive energy.

Purring for a successful surgery.   The big CA is not necessarily a death
threat.  I know very many people who have come through successfully
(including myself - 40 years ago).  My cousin had the surgery at 66 and
lived to 90.  My old boss had it at  65 and is still going strong at 89.  
I could go on and on.    But shall definitely purr for a quick recovery
for you.   MLB

Mega purrs on the way for you, and what good babies KFC and BF are to
welcome you back home.

Smokie Darling (Annie) - lots of prayers and finger/toe crossings (okay
I can't do that, but you get the idea).  Praying that all goes
incredibly well.

Yes, the can, and do. ;)

Oh my, girl!!!  I am so sorry!!  Sending most earnest, urgent purrs
for you, and hoping your kitties step up and take wonderful care of
you.

Dear Tweed,

I wish you well.  Hopefully you've been up on your gyn appts. so that if it
is malignant, it will be gettable.  Take care, and God speed.

Tons of purrs and prayers coming from us for your continued well-being and
health.

How awful for you when you really have worked so hard to get back to work.

Sending a great many prayers and purrs for a good outcome and for you to be
well and happy as soon as can be managed.

Fact of the mater is I'm quite sure I've got a new candle around here
somewhere that may get pressed in to service for concentrating good wishes
as well.

I'm so sorry to hear this.  We're sending mega purrs across the pond
to you and praying that it's not malignant.  I know how frightening
this must be, but hang in there and think positive thoughts.

Hugs,

Nan

The possibility of deceit never entered my head. For your sake though, I
wish it were not true!

I'm so sorry to hear of this, Tweed.  I hope at least this is a case of
early detection? No matter how early they catch it though, nobody wants to
hear there might be something "malignant" growing inside their body.
Incense, candles, purrs and prayers coming your way. As everyone else has
already said, I hope it will turn out to be benign. But if it isn't, I hope
they can take care of the entire problem with dispatch and that you'll soon
be on your way to complete recovery. BF and KFC need their Meowmie.

Good luck, and let us know how things  go for you, and what your prognosis
is.
I'll  get my three on the purring detail straightaway.  I know BF and KFC
must already be on the job.  I'm glad you have neighbors to care for them
while you're laid up.
((Hugs))

I was wondering where you were :(  I will send mega gigantic purrs for you.
Iknow you have had trouble with your eyes for some time. They have to be
wrong. You have to get better.

Tweed,
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know you are afraid, but please try to focus instead on all the positive
energy sent your way and allow your body a chance to combat whatever it is.
Rosie and Cinder send purrs to add to your own special nurse cats, KFC & BF.
Take care,
Annie

Tweed, we're sending purrs that you'll be ok. Hang in there and wait
for the test results before you start freaking out please! :(
Sometimes it seems so bad, when for real, it is not so bad.

I've been wondering where you are. Oodles of purrs are wafting southwest
from my three that it is not malignant, but if it is, that the surgery
is a complete success. You've had much more than your fair share lately.

OMG... sending purrs, meatloaf meditations and any other good vibes you
need!

I was wondering what happened to you.  Thought you were just busy at
work or something.  I'm so sorry to hear about your health troubles.
Many, many purrs and good wishes for everything to work out well.
Don't give up, you can fight this!

Purrs, doggie drool and major healing/work out the best way possible heading
your way.

Breathe deeply.  Blow all the tired air that's been sitting in the corners
out of you lungs.  Think about and find the center of your self.  Of your
person and of your soul.  Begin to gather together the things that make you
strong.  Fill your eyes and your heart with light.  Fill your ears with the
music of the world and the music of the arts.

Gather your self.  Because you are preparing to go into battle.  You need to
know your strength and how to call it up from the center of you.

And do some research of directed energy.  Where you can focus all that you
are to destroy that which wants to destroy you.  There are books and tapes
that teach you to tap into your own power and into the power around you and
to use it to clean anything bad out of your life.

Or sit and enjoy an excellent cup of tea and observe the changes spring is
making to the world.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Mega-prayers and mega-purrs are headed out to you for the condition to not
be malignant. But also that you get only good news from doctors at all
stages of treatment.

Keep us posted, as well as you can, regarding how things are going. Hang
in there.

Donna, Captain, and Stanley

Oh no! What a dreadful shock for you - I will keep everything crossed
that the outcome is that 'slim chance' - 4 kitties purring for you here.
((((Christina))))

Deb.

I'm so sorry to hear you are having yet more medical problems. Purrs
that what you've got is not malignant and is easily treated.

Oh dear. All the purrs, woofs and human best wishes in the world that
they excise everything they need to & that you're OK.

Love & Support

Gordon, Bandit, Snowball & Raki

 Oh, Tweed, our hearts go out to you.  You've had too much more than
your share of troubles.  Certainly we send purrs, prayers, even
doggy-wags, that your "slim chance" is a good one and there is no
malignancy.  If there is, we fervently hope and pray it will be
overcome.  Hugs.

Purrs and prayers for that slim chance. {{{{{{{TWEED}}}}}}}}

I'm so very sorry to hear this!
We are purring and sending lots of best wishes for it to be benign and for
you to recover from surgery really soon,

Purrs and healthy thoughts and wishes for you from all of us here.
Gynecological surgery is not fun but is do able.  We'll all be thinking
of you and hoping that you don't have the bad stuff going on.  If you
are interested there are several cancer groups on USENET, including the
one I go through alt.support.cancer

Oh, no, Tweed!  Purrs winging across the pond for a quick and complete

I'm so sorry.  Sending you the strongest purrs I can that it is not
malignant.  You are in my thoughts.

I would like to thank everyone for their positive vibes and advice, I'm
sorry I can't manage individual replies at the moment but every post is very
much appreciated, it really does help to realise people are thinking about
me.
I was sent home with truckloads of painkillers which I can administer myself
and tweak around to suit.  The trouble with being in hospital was often the
nurses were too busy to administer the drugs at the right time, therefore
the pain control was pretty bad.

One of the doctors said to me that there was no need for me to have any pain
at all, that I could have this that and the other.  To which I said that's
all very well for you to prescribe it, but not a lot of use if no-one gives
it to you.  So I am much better here at home and my cats and chickens are
happy to have me back.

My main concern at the moment is my cats and birds.  I have to try and find
friends that can board some chickens each, because for sure I will not be
able to do much after my operation for 6-8 weeks, and the plan is that I
will go to my aunt's to recover and be taken care of.  I think I have a
friend that might board the two geese also.

Kitty & BF will stay here at the house, neighbours have offered to feed them
and even if the house is locked they have beds in the conservatory that
they'll just have to be satisfied with for the time being.

I have several roosters that have, shall we say, anger management issues,
and I wonder if anyone else would be prepared to cope with them or whether
they might have to go to RB.

How simple things would be if I had no pets.  Did I ever tell you about
Attila, my 12lb Speckled Sussex rooster made of pure evil?  I have to go
into his run with a wire mesh shield in front of me.  It's probably too much
to ask anyone else to do it for a period of weeks.

This is the only time ever that I've been glad that all my dogs are at RB.
It would have been a nightmare trying to board them out too.

I am trying to keep focused on positive thoughts.  I *will* beat this, I
have to.  Kitty could, at a pinch, be rehomed.  Give her a warm fire to lie
next to, plenty of food and some skritches and chest-cuddles now and again,
and she's anyones.
Boyfriend is something else.  He won't trust anyone except me it seems.  My
friend who fed him while I was in hosp said he would not go near his food
until she made herself scarce, just like he was feral again.  I have to
overcome this illness for my precious little lad, because I know he would
not be happy anywhere else.
When I got him neutered, through a stray cat scheme, the woman in charge
said - when I described how he'd come here and what he was like - "He will
never settle anywhere else."
Because, actually, at that time, my plan was to get him neutered and
rehomed!  I absolutely didn't want another cat.
However...he is such a darling, such a sweet temperament that I do not
regret my decision to let him stay at all.  I have discovered that I love
him.  He crept into my heart.

Ack, Christina!  I'm so sorry to read this--please accept mega-purrs from
us; we'll be thinking of you and sending purrayers.

Hi Tweed,

Purrs and prayers go out to you and we deeply hope the drs are all wrong in
the diagnosis. However, I believe in being prepared for all possibilities,
and being well informed (I am called a 'difficult patient' by several of my
drs. <VEG>) So, I went searching for some info for you, and found this site:
http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=2792 .
It gives some of the help available and what protocols some of the hospitals
are using to treat ovarian cancer.

We will be thinking of you!

Late to this, I know, but many purrs and prayers and comforting
thoughts.

We're thinking of you.

Many, many good vibes heading your way across the cyberaether.

Just caught this thread.... Everything crossed that it isn't malignant
or if it is that it's been caught in time

Praying for you and Redunzel and Sarrasine are purring up a storm

Sorry I'm late on this... there's far too many posts for me to keep up and I
occasionally miss one that really shouldn't be overlooked.

Many many purrs for you. I'll light a candle tonight as well.

*Hugz*

Very belated purrs. I'm still catching up. Remember there's a greater
chance of it being NOT malignant according to statistics. Hang in there.
