When I hop on board the ship and see a lot of unread posts in the cancer thread my heart sinks, and I wonder who has had bad news. Delighted that this is not the case this time. Praying on for all our gallant but cancerous crew.

I'm exactly the same! It's always a peasure to read that Ross has kicked the tin cat further down the road, or that our other friends living with this Bastard Cancer are still getting up and going. I pray for you all whenever I remember to pray.
Oops! Sorry.
The "t" and the "n" are nowhere near each other on my AZERTY keyboard, so I really don't know how that happened. Freudian slip, perhaps?! (But I love cats)

You put it very well, I feel this too. #teamRossweisse
Hooray and hallelujah for all the good news! Dormouse, I admit I had a hearty laugh over the tin cat typo. Thank you for that image (with my apologies to @Rossweisse's feline ministers).
@ThunderBunk, I hope things go well for your mother now that she can move on from porridge!
<votive> Prayers continuing for @ThunderBunk's mother.
Thank you all! When I had my weigh-in a fortnight ago, I was up more than five pounds, but we feared (given the return of my lymphedema) that it was just fluid. As of Monday, I definitely weigh more than 100 pounds, which should mean that I'm out of the danger zone in that respect, at least. Now I just need to keep eating. (What a great assignment!)
All Easter Week at Casa Santa Marta the assembled rag-tag bunch of randoms sang with +++Francis "This is the day which the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it"
(In Italiano and not the that tune, I hasten to add)
I had an unusually horrible day yesterday with pain and fatigue ... I must keep in mind that today is A New Day. What was, was was ...
Prayers to strengthen that intention ... thanks in advance
I'd been staying away from this topic for a while, and like Cathscats and everyone else, got a huge boost from Rossweisse's latest when I dropped in just now. Now I'm dealing with a mental picture of the tin cat chasing the orneries and making a hell of a racket while Ross is trying to enjoy a quiet glass or two of red wine. I think I'll have one too.

May all of us know the peace of God and support of community in the good, the bad and the just plain ordinary.
For those posting and those not posting, for friends past and present, online and in real life.
For peace.
You are enough.
You matter.
I've been having serious pains in my left leg for a couple of weeks; the causes of said pain (neurological? muscular?) are not clear. My oncologist ordered up a raft of X-rays, which I had on Thursday.
Today (Friday, by my standards), I got the word that the bones seem okay - but the metastasis in the hip seems to be larger. I'm to have more X-rays taken; if the cancer has indeed progressed, I'll be kicked out of the study that is currently saving my life. (This is starting to sound familiar.) Prayers that things have not got to the stage where I shall be booted would be greatly appreciated. For all its present shortcomings (wheelchair, 24-hour care, a certain amount of discomfort), I am still enjoying my life.

Ross, I really like your oncologist!

I daresay all suggestions as to suitable menus will be acceptable...
As long as WINE is required as an accompaniment.

We're not keen on being stranded Ross-less here with you either, bub.
