Hello BBG, I was just thinking of you and was going to post earlier but did not want to interrupt the flow of the conversation you were having 
I have a *praise* report to make I got a post-op phone call from my surgeon the other day, who told me I was cured! I did discover while I was in the hospital (for 10 days) that he is a funny little man, and when he said that it was in a sort of strange, lilting tone of voice, so I couldn't tell if he was being absolutely serious, but the long and the short of it is, they got the whole cancer, it wasn't as advanced as they thought, and the nearby affected lymph nodes were cancer-free, news which when I told my sister (a retired nurse), she said made her day and she was ecstatic about. I am not sure at this point if I will require more chemotherapy; I have to contact my chemo doctor, because that's a decision for him to make, and what type if I do. I haven't done that yet. I will hear again from my surgeon in a couple of months, at which time I suppose we will discuss reversing what was done to me or part of what was done to me on August 14th
He did say pre-surgery that the tumor had shrunk down (due to chemo and radiation) to being about the size of half a finger. How big it really was before that? I have no idea But he seemed to think it had not gone through the colon wall or maybe had not progressed as far beyond as they had originally thought (scans are not completely clear on these things), and because of that, combined with the fact that the near-by enlarged lymph nodes that were removed were cancer free, he said he was not even sure I had been stage 3. Of course, it is I think possible that the chemo and radiation could have killed any cancer in them (lymph nodes), but I am not sure about that, either. He did say something about it but I can't remember what exactly. He says I can call him at any time so I will at some point just to get more clarity on things like that. It's hard to imagine what it all looks like in there
While I was in the hospital, I did not see the surgeon very often, and not at all for the first few days because it was the weekend. When I did see him it was for very short periods of time, and that's when I discovered that he was a very funny little man! LOL. I say that because one day in his brief exchanges with me, after the nasal-gastric tube was removed after being in for about 6 days, he said, "We are progressing... onto jello!" And then he left. As he was leaving, I could see through an opening in my curtain that he paused and straightened up. I had no sense of him being bent over or stooped in any way, but when he straightened up it made a significant difference in where his gaze was directed, because suddenly he was looking up at the ceiling, and he just stood there like that for a few seconds gazing up at the ceiling, before continuing to walk away. That's when I decided, that he was a very funny little man
^ I posted that in speak your mind the other day. It is so much easier to copy that than type it all out again, and I hope you don't mind, as I am very low energy these days and quite ready for bed right now There are also a coupe of poss in tourist's Midnight Confessions thread (in case you have not seen them)
I hope this message finds you well, and thank you for asking after me
First off, I am sooo glad to hear that, Praise be to God. Thank God for hear all the prayers that have been and continue to be lifted up to Our Father's Devine Ears, could not have asked for better news when I asked, it does my heart good to know that.
And no, I don't mind the cutting and pasting, just glad to hear the good news. Miracles are amazing and Blessed things. May this experience bring you out on the other side closer to Our Father and God then ever before, and no doubt stronger as well.
Please, don't ever feel like you can toss out a word or two, even if I am engaged in chat about other things. Usually I am saying something funny (well, that I think is funny😁) / silly to bring laughter and smiles to others hearts. It's good for others who don't know me to know I can have a serious conversation too😉🤗.
Dear Heavenly Father. Thank you for showing Magenta you ever Gracious Mercy and Love. For having the Angel's help watch over her in the mist of this trial as well. May this have been completely taken from her and never to return again. May she be left with a new and deeper sense of the Love Our Heavenly Father has for her, and make that to Spread to others, like a ripple from a stone being thrown into a pond, with whom know her and from her own lips as she tells of this Love you have for her to others she meets. Help this be a source of encouragement to others whom have this disease, that they too may come before you. And , to those whom she tells this of whom do not know you, may it bring them to your throne and kneel before you and ask of your Mercy, Love, Grace and forgiveness of you and be of Great Joy in you and healed of this disease.
May you Love watch over Magenta and, indeed All Your Children, all of Our days You have Blessed us with, and that we will come to Live with you when Our time is done here Upon the Earth and we are Blessed to be with you in Heaven, for ever and ever, Amen.
Great to hear from you Magenta.🙂
