I didn't know where to post this, but this seemed a good place to start. I won't be around for a bit. I found out I have a not so good medical problem. I found out I have a brain tumor. That's about as blunt as it's gets. I am posting this picture as Hope. I love this forum, and all the photos and people in it. I know in my heart, that I will get through this, and will try my best to come lurke every now and then. Tell your loved ones you love them today, and give them a big hug. You just never know what new life's suprises are thrown at you .

It's a learning experience. :D

    Anna,
    You WILL come through this. Don't ever let yourself think otherwise. I have been through cancer myself and always kept a positive outlook no matter how bad things got. And you know what? I'M STILL HERE! Be sure to check in periodically and lets us know how you are doing. I think it is safe to say that all of us will be pulling for you.

    Anna, I am so sorry to hear your bad news. I know how hard that can be, to hear something so scary. I want you to just keep believing! Believe in yourself. Believe that God, or whoever your higher power might be, can and will get you through this. Most of all, try to keep doing the things you love most. It gives you reasons to go on.
    Two years ago I was told I shouldn't have been alive when I got to the hospital, I shouldn't have lived through surgery and then I shouldn't have left the hospital alive. I only have 10% of my liver and need a transplant. Here I am 2 years later and shocking them all. (They didn't know how stubborn I am) In August I will finally be eligible for Medicare and be able to start the process. Photography, my camera, is what kept me from laying in bed day after day.
    So, keep believing and I will keep you in my prayers!

    Anna - having just been through a very bad health scare a couple of weeks ago, I have some idea how frightening this is and the complete turmoil you must be in right now. All good thoughts coming to you and yours, and listen to Kevin's wise words. Check in as and when you can, and know that we're all thinking of you and sending our best thoughts to you and yours.

    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    God Bless you Anna, my prayers are with you.
    I never get off the phone with the people I love without saying I love you.

    As was stated before, you'll get through this and please keep a positive upbeat attitude.
    I worked for doctors and hospitals for hundreds of years :D and having faith along with a positive attitude is an unbeatable combination.

    Peace always, gail

    Hi Anna,

    I felt sorry for you that you missed the deadline on the "Transportation" contest,
    and wanted to see your entry...

    I looked into the daily's - nothing... I did a search for your site and... finally saw this post of you here...

    Hmm... hard to get this kind of news... I wish you never lose hope.

    Anna - May God's healing arms hold you tight through this tough time. Be positive and rely on your family and friends. I'll keep you in thoughts and prayers and will be looking for you to "lurk about" when you can.

    Very best wishes for a speedy recovery!!
