Thank you from TX Gin

[TXGin]

Dear Precious "Cathe" Friends,

I am truly overwhelmed by the love, support, care, concern and prayers you all have showered me with here on the boards and on the Caring Bridge site. You guys are THE BEST and believe me I have read and re-read every message sent. Thank you for your kindness! It means more to me than you know.

I know that God has listened to all of the prayers. My surgery couldn't have gone any better. All of the cancer was removed. My hope is that each day my strength, appetite and energy level will increase until that happy day when I can do STS, 4ds, IMAX2, etc again. I NEVER would have thought that I would pray for an increase in appetite!! How funny is that!

For those of you that will be going on the Road Trip this summer......Lucky you! That is the most fun I think I EVER had and hopefully I will be able to join you at the 2010 Road Trip!!

Love and hugs to all!!
Gin xoxoxox

It is wonderful that your surgery went well, Gin! I am sure you got through this with flying colors and that cancer better watch out and stay away because it got it's butt whooped. You are a strong woman, you will be just fine and I look forward to meeting you at the Cathe RT in 2010.

Just take it easy, it takes a while to recover from surgery. Your appetite will come back and you will be stronger than ever before.

Sending hugs and much love!

You and your husband are such an inspiration! Your faith is incredible - I truly enjoy reading the updates on the website because they are filled with great news but also, because they are so uplifting! My prayer is that you will continue to heal, that the chemo will go as easy for you as possible, and that your faith will only continue to grow and touch others as they witness your incredible strength and unwavering faith in God. And remember, I am not far away if you ever need anything. I can come watch Cathe DVDs with you if nothing else
