Farewell for Now
Well, the past three weeks have been eventful as I have not interacted with the WA community. I have discovered that I am facing many months of treatment for the "Big C." A biopsy shows a cancerous breast tumor, early stage, very treatable, but could mean a long program involving chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. For a time, I will need to refocus my attention and energies elsewhere, so I have decided to suspend my involvement in WA until this is resolved.
For those who have faced, or will ever face a cancer diagnosis, I hope to encourage you. Do not let this evil disease be an elephant in the room. Pray against it, attack it by whatever means possible (treatment, diet, getting rid of stress in your life). In all this, I find much for which to be thankful: it was caught early, I have a very loving support system of family and friends, I have a great network of physicians and health professionals, and, most of all, I have a strong faith in the Creator, who makes all things new! His mercies are new every morning, and He gives strength for the journey.
I wish you all great success and fulfillment in your relationships.

glad to hear that you believe in the Almighty God, will pray for you and you will get well soon. Stay strong in faith!
Hi Sallen, I have cancer too. Thought I had beaten it but it is back. I have found that communicating with the WA community keeps my mind off of the tough times with this cancer. I never really tell anyone about it but the folks here are great and they are a lot of fun to chat with about something completely separate from this damned cancer. Stick around if you can and talk to folks about website design and internet marketing. It really will get your mind off of your problems.
Good luck with your treatments.
Larry, so sorry you have this awful disease as well. I will definitely keep you in prayer. You are right about the WA community. I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of well wishes as a result of my post. I have a strong faith and relationship with God. He is sustaining me in peace and joy during this trial. We will overcome!

I will be praying for you. It is a scary thing to have to go through, but you seem to have the right attitude to get thru this! You caught it early, and that's a good thing! Your spirit is awesome and I know you can kick it! Take care of yourself and know that we are with you!
great spirit -- focus on HEALTH
