Christina

It was a pleasure meeting you at the 2007 MOM and you are in my thoughts in regards to your health issue. We had a great time at the campgrounds and the cottage that saved us from the weather. Pain isn't fun and I hope it goes away fast. Pain is difficult to live with to say the least. Wishing you the best and praying for the complete recovery you deserve.

chronic pain is soul breaking, i know. I hope you get the relief you need, soon. You have my best wishes, and my deepest sympathy.

While I have expressed my best wishes to you personally, the more people replying to this thread the better.

I wish to join the throngs in hoping that things improve for you soon, and that very good news is soon to come.

Christina,

The best wishes of a lot of people you don't even know are with you.

Christina,

Everyone here likes you a lot and it's always painful to know someone you like that is hurting. We sure hope you get to feeling better soon.

I would have responded sooner but my old computer committed harakiri and my new one didn't arrive until today.

You are in my prayers and thoughts everyhour of everyday.

You will get through this. It may be difficult but you will survive because you have friends, loved ones and a senile old wolf who loves you like a sister.

Never give up. Keep thinking positive. This is just one more hurdle in your path to accomplishing your dream.

In case you need chemotherapy, I've heard if causes nausea. If so, I'll send you pix of me in shorts: that should be enough to take your mind of the chemo.

I'm thinking of you now and everyday.

Your my sister and I love you.

You will get through this.

Love,

MacWolf

Dear Christina,

I am just at a loss for words. Like every one else I just want you to be healthy and happy. We care for you so much and are sad to hear your health is not good. Please take care and listen to the doctor.

Big Hugggs for you,

Jema

having just caught this thread, it floored me,

thinking you had found some peace in your life, in transitioning, and then reading what all is happening, my heart goes out to you,

hang in there, miracles do happen

I always hesitate to respond to threads like this. They tend to freak me out. Getting *sick* is one thing, but then I hear words like cancer and I get scared. With cancer things are so much better now than long ago, and chances are better, but it is still frightening. I remember back when you were just joining us Christina - it was a time of great exploration, trial, and tension back then (definitely me, too!). You've become an *institution* around here as much as anyone. I can only tell you my heart goes to you, and I only wish you well. I feel shitty about this, but then I guess it will only make me feel all that much better when you kick ass on that stuff. Hang in there!
