So sorry for your loss lynn-ann.

Congratulations Copago and keep up the good work. Waiting for the 200 day reminder.

A friend told us this weekend he quit smoking six months ago and bought himself a new camera with the money he had saved in those six months.

High of this week: Being able to spend the last couple of days at home with Lily and our two beautiful children. I was admitted to emergency the other day for something relating to the cancer tumour and was able to get out of there a couple of days later ( I was admitted Sunday night and released Tuesday afternoon) so I could be with my family for a couple of days before I was operated on.

Low of this week: I`m being operated on tomorrow and I`m a little concerned. It`s a 5-6 hour operation and I just don`t know how much of me is going to be cut out. It`s certainly been a life changing thing so far but tomorrow after the operation I`ll finally know if I will be "mostly" back to normal or if I have to wear a colostomy bag for the rest of my life. I`ve been told that I will probably be stuck with the bag. I`ve also been told that I`ll be in hospital for at least 10 days recovering.

If the worst case scenario occurs and I`m not in a position to post here again please know that I`ve enjoyed every moment I`ve spent here reading everyones posts and playing the quizzes.

Take care all.
Roos

My dear Roos, I am sitting here with my little teddy beside me and we are both sending you every positive vibe possible. I am not a religious person but for those who are, perhaps they can say a prayer for you as some did for me when I was ill.

Now we will have none of the negative thoughts, get your butt back here at the soonest possible!

I am rooting for you, take care my friend, and hurry back.

All the best, Roos, with your op. Will be thinking about you over the coming days. x

Roos, you are part of the furniture. Tell yourself you will be back. As Sue says, think positive and we are all rooting for you.

Good luck on your surgery, Mr. Roos! We'll see/hear from you when you get to feeling better, yes? Or better yet - as you get to feeling better. FunTrivia, I'm told, is an especially grand place to visit while in the throes of recuperation .

I'm sending all kinds of good vibes and best wishes to you too Roos, lots of positive engergy.

Sending all good wishes and prayers to you.

Family probably needs a hug by now too, here's one from me ((())))

All good vibes and positive thoughts being sent your way for tomorrow, Roos, and we will see you soon, yes?

Prayers and good wishes from me to you, Roos. No negative thoughts here; I look forward to seeing you back when you're feeling better.

Prayers from me also, Roos...so many here are thinking of you, and believe in your strength to overcome this challenge. Bless you and your family always.

It's been a while since I frequented this part of the forums so I haven't enjoyed your wonderful sense of humour for a while.
I too am sending you very strong, positive vibes and look forward to hearing that all went well and you are back on your feet!

My thoughts will be with you tomorrow Roos. May you have a speedy recovery and come back to FT soon.

Mate, you'll come through things ok. Heck, you've got too much stuff to do yet!
Good luck, and we'll see you back here shortly. And who knows, we might even catch up for a beer.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers and wish you a speedy recovery.

Roos, I've only just caught on, but, as the caregiver for a friend with the same beastly cancer, I send my best wishes.
I think that when we have children, it gives us the urge to fight.

It's been 24 hours. Has anybody heard about Roos yet?
