Well, I had a nice long email made out for you last night, and the electricity bipped and we lost power.....

Anyway....you are a true inspiration. You are going to shine with the band, and going through what you have gone through will give you even more determination and strength.

I had a sister die at 42 from Ovarion cancer, and it was tough....if she would have had a test or something it would of caught it.......

My thoughts and prayers go out to you this week....I wish you the best of luck.....

Kat: What kind of cancer did you have?

I had uterine cancer of the endometrial lining.

I currently have 2 remaining tumors in my body--1 in my fibula (shin bone) and one in the mastoid ( a bony like gland just below and behind your ear). I had a bone scan done today to check the possible growth factor in the mastoid tumor. Hoping to get good news.

My 5 year mark will be up in September.

Good Luck with your band--mine has made an amazing difference in my life. I know I am in much better health if ever I have to face anything like it again.

Wow Kat, I will be praying for you! Sounds like you've done well. I pray you continue to stay healthy. It's good to hear that the Band gave you some of your life back too!

My husband is a cancer survivor too. It's such a shock to hear a diagnosis like that and so many scary things go through our minds, all the what if's and thoughts of our families, but we're stronger for having been through the experience and you seem to have gotten a lot of strength and appreciation for life, A true survivor story!

You will truly appreciate your band and how it will change your life.

Best Wishes to you!

Tomorrow is the big day! I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am that it has finally arrived! I'm a little nervous, the excited kind! I can't believe after all I've been through, that I am getting this done! I'm looking forward to my new Band, my new beginning of my life!

Thank you all so much for the support you've given me!
