Dear Rossweisse, prayers ascending for every minute of your life remaining, thanksgiving for your friendship, and, when the time comes, a good and holy death. You beautiful kick-ass woman.
Rossweisse you never leave my prayer list. May your days ahead be filled with comfort of body and peace of mind. You are a dear woman who continues to inspire me with your wit, wisdom, and grace in adversity.
Dear @Rossweisse as you enter this stage you will have my prayers.
I have found you so very inspiring and want to thank you for all I have received from you on this good Ship.
Go well
I will be spending the next hour dragging my body around the track at the YMCA. It's a solitary activity with virus precautions in place, but it's a great time for praying, and you will all be accompanying me this morning.
Back from hospital. I had an idea which I was keeping in my jeans pocket to use at the end of my consultation: "Why don't we just wait and see? I am not suffering that much. If I tell you how I feel and bring you blood tests every month you can then decide when it's bad enough to change drugs".
But I didn't even need to as the doctor suggested it himself, saying I was on the best drug even if it was not working at 100% so we will just "wait and see". (They say that in English to show how cool they are.) I will bring him blood tests monthly and tell him how I feel.
Now I just have to get the bloody thing - probably off one of my insurances - the personal one or the kibbutz one. Fair enough - the Public Purse has its limits which I have far exceeded. Even an old-school Socialist like myself can admit to limits!
Clarification: this last post is the report on my "Now what are we going to do?"consultation with my oncologist after my scan showed progression on existing tumors.
We are going to wait and see ...
Long time lurker, rare poster, just popping in to say that while I may not comment I am always praying for all. Particularly at the moment (and I hope the others understand) for Rossweisse.
@Rossweisse, I cherish the time and the spinach pizzas we've shared (along with a good Côtes du Rhône). I pray that in the days ahead, you feel comforted and upheld by the love and prayers of this community and know the peace that passes all understanding.
Ross, I've come late to the news. You have always been in my prayers - today at our virtual service as others . Thank you for being the wonderful open pertson you are: may God continue holding you in the palm of his hand.

Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us all...
I'm having a rough day today, but it's small beer compared to what the Valkyrie is going through.
Gentle hugs, my friend.

I am over the Moon!
(I thought I'd already said this.)

Amen!
@Galilit, blessings on you! May you prosper under the new mantra of "wait and see."
Prayers ascending for @Robert Armin, @idj, and all others suffering from this monstrous disease. May all be healed.
Thank you, @tessaB and @Lyda.
