Foo - For those who know......

Siu had some possible medical problems, but the tests came back and she is fine.

:beer:

Glad to hear she is fine :)

Truly happy for her; she sounded so down
and I knew there was little I could say
that would not sound trite.
So I just prayed.
:0)
Ask, and you shall receive..

Very good news!http://friendsforever.foren-city.de/images/smiles/a084.gif

Great news Siu!!! Take care of your self. :)

Didn't know, but medical tests with groovy results are always good to hear about, even without the details. Yea! :)

horay:]

She didn't have scurvy? Whew! That's a relief. Glad to hear she's healthy.

Glad to hear it.

Thank you everyone. :) had a bit (no, a lot) of a scare. I had to go through many tests this month. I had about six appts so far. I'm just glad that God is on my side and that I have good friends that help me through. (Some of them BFers!!
Thank you :love: )

I have mainly Mich to thank though. He nagged me constantly till I went to my first appt and stayed with me through all of this. He knew I was scared.:o

You know, I have a handful of people that I've met through online communities such as this one. Some I've spent considerable time with, some I've yet to meet in person. People ask how I can trust people, how I can get attached to people that I've met over the internet. Family and friends that don't get it.

You guys get it.

Glad you're doing OK Siu, I'd have truly been hurt to have heard less positive news, even not knowing what the nature of the problem is.

even not knowing what the nature of the problem is.

Lets just say it was possible cancer.

Well I wasn't trying to get details, my point is that you obviously care, and you've touched someone's life. Regardless of the relative locations on the planet you each find yourselves is, you've done something powerful.

Lets just say it was possible cancer.
Oh, even happier to hear then. I remember that being such a scary time in my life. It would have been very lonely without my mom and bro. Mich, you're a peach of a friend.

I don't know (anything), but that's good news. Even with the apparent good test results, a bunch of medical appointments can't be a very pleasant experience.

So... Let me get this straight.

Your cancer test were negative (For which I'm very happy for you) and 'God is on your side.

OTOH, I have cancer. Guess I've done something to piss off God, eh?


Thanks for the sentiment. :(

I think about you just about everyday Stacey..
big hug.

I know you do Karen. Even when you're cheeved at me, I can still feel the love. Thank you. :)

No Stacey, no negative statement meant toward you or anyone else. I have made a personal deal with God is all I'm saying.

You know that I care for you which is why I made an offer to you in the past. That was before I found that the doctors wanted me to be tested. I'm really sorry and hurt if you took my statement as something personal toward you, I never meant it that way. ((hugs)). :(

I told her to have faith!!


Now...why didn't you call/email/IM me yesterday then, Siu!! :mad:

Because I was so drained from all the emotional crap that goes along with the wait. I just wanted to chilll. I just found out about an hour before Mich made this thread.

Put it this way. You guys know and my buddies here at home don't know yet.

It are what it is. You dodged the bullet, I took a critical hit. It's life and the end of it. All's good. :)

I was just yanking your chain and didn't mean anything... espescially for you to feel bad.

I just get a kick of the sports personalities who upon wining something start their podium speech with... "I'd like to thank God..." I smile and think to myself, yeah he likes you better than the other people.

I'm a cynical and sarcastic biotch like that. :) You're cool. :love:

Hey Siu, it's great to hear!

And Mich, you rock. More poeple need friends like you.

Yay:)

We just went through the possible-cancer-multiple-tests-thing with my wife. After 2 weeks in limbo, finally got the good results back on Tues., so I can relate to the sense of relief and pure, unbridled exhilaration.

Without wanting to sound trite, the oft-quoted maxim is so true: if you have your health you have everything.

Kinda puts everything into perspective, doesn't it? All of this has reminded me once again how all the little things in this life that I let upset me, that "stuff" I expend so much energy focusing on, is really petty and unimportant, and nothing in comparison to something of this nature.

I wasn't aware of what you are going through though, stacey. Prayer does help. You're in mine.:)

Glad to see you had a good day Siu. Hope that you have thousands and thousands more. ;)

Not to steal Siu's thunder, leukemia (CML). Diagnosed in June of last year. All is good, for today. Subject to change tommorow.

If praying works for you, by all means. :)

I know you do Karen. Even when you're cheeved at me, I can still feel the love. Thank you. :)
:lol: I cheeve at everyone stacey, im a cranky witch sometimes:o i never pretended i was perfect and you guys have accepted me no matter what.
I do think of you and I get upset. I dont want to get into the whole God thing because Ive wondered too in the past about other people why they have to suffer so much and I cant repeat what i have said cause it would start an argument.Im glad siu is ok and Im mad you're not.

Did not even know there was a problem but even at Foo we don't post all our personal events I am sure. Great to hear that Siu is fine. Tell Siu to do another karate kick and post here and she will be fine.

Blondie cranky?!:eek: I have never seen that, you must hide it well. Your one of the sweetest people here on BF......no kidding. You and VegaVixen and Snowy and Siu and Chip and donnamb. Well Chip sometimes......just kidding you big ole goob!:D

Siu...glad to hear you are going to be alright. Hugs.

Stacey...Big Hugs to you as well.

Many of you her at Foo have become like family to me. I get sad when your sad and happy that you're happy. Some of you are very close friends.

I'm gonna miss you guys when I have only work internet access from March to mid April, but hopefully by April it will be warmed up enough for me to ride outside.

Stacey................I can't even say anything to that. No one would really know what to say unless they are in your shoes. I hope the best and I will pray for you. My wife is a practioner with a CancerCare doctor group here in Asheville, NC and she deals with this day end and out. Sometimes with friends who come down with these ailments. Best to you and your in my prayers.

Knowing that others care means a lot. Thanks. :)

I hate that kind of scare. Glad everythings OK.

Hi Siu Chan,
I'm relieved all is fine with your results. Now get out there and attack life for all it's worth. :)
Skebbe.:love:

Siu, I am glad to hear no cancer was found. Educate yourself in the hopes to live a long healthy life.

Stacey, may you persrvere in the hardship of this malady. Reach out for the treatment believing you can be cured. (http://www.llslifemosaic.com/lifemosaic/search_results.jsp)

I wish the both of you the very best. :)

Regards,
Tony

:eek: Sistuh, you never said a word to me! What up with that? :mad:

Seriously, so glad you're ok. And now I feel badly about *****in' to you about my own issues on the phone not long ago. You shoulda beetch-slapped me. Really. :o <serious and contrite Vega look>

Siu, you've been an incredible friend to me, but I'm here for you, too, you know. Don't shut me out from being able to contribute to you. :)

Stacey, we've communicated before. What can I say? I hold you in high esteem, and respect your choices with regard to your situation. ((hugs))

Not to steal Siu's thunder, leukemia (CML). Diagnosed in June of last year. All is good, for today. Subject to change tommorow.

I do pray for you Stacey.

I do pray for you Stacey.
Thanks dad, I appreciate it. :love:

Siu, good to hear the good news.

Stacey - stay in there hammering away. I thought I was a goner about 8 years ago, not much anyone can say except we are hear for you.

I'm glad you're ok, Siu!

Hugs to you, Stacey. I don't think God plays a role in our lives as much as genetics and lifestyle choices, but what I do know is that we should never take our bodies and lives for granted. Make the best of what you have and try to live each day to its fullest. It's hard to do at times, but I think for myself, it is a much more satisfying way to live. Make your life meaningful by whatever means you need to and it will not be wasted.

I've been worried about this cancer thing for so long siu, freakin' glad it's over. HALLELUJAH. I'm glad someone was there to nag you. I wanted to nag you, but you didn't like talking about it. So I respected that. This is amazing news.

I told you not to freak out about it, you didn't even know if you had it. Geeze. All the worrying... :)

Go have a couple gallons of pistachio ice cream. You deserve it. :)

Bravo for the good news Siu!

Glad to hear it, Siu. And Mich, thanks for being with her.

Thank you everyone. It sure is a big relief. Now I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks concentrating on that UMB instead or worrying and being in a funk.

((hugs)) to all of you and thank you for the support. :)

Wow Siu - whew, glad you're ok! Geeze, I know I've lost touch with the Foo family the past month or so but I really had no idea this was going on.
