Okay the time has come!
“Every now and again take a good look at something not made with hands- a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world.”
Okay - my surgery is June 11th so this will be my last post for awhile.
I've been trying to keep us ALL happy and laughing because ...
So let's have some fun today.
I wish I could name everyone here, but I am afraid of forgetting someone or something.
So many letters and emails that have kept me going. Thank you.
I have had so many prayers offered and support. Thank you.
Gals that have gone through it writing me. Thank you.
I have had so much good advice and help. Thank you.
I have gotten some wonderful little gifts. Thank you.
I have been taken out to lunch! Thank you.
I have friends who are angels. Thank you.
Made a song for me - below. Thank you.
I have received cards. Thank you.
Blog prayers for me. Thank you.
I mean if this wasn't cancer I'd think it was a celebration! Thank you.
It has only been by God's wonderful grace and my friends wonderful prayers that I'm doing okay and seemingly peaceful - you will NEVER know how much that means to me.
Of course my prayer is that I make it through the surgery and that the cancer has not spread. That all the cancer is removed during the surgery.
Now that is what I want, but who knows what the outcome will be......... but if something else shows up - I pray that I will be able to face it with the dignity I have seen in others....... there are so many other brave women (and men) that I am friends with or have read about that are brave too....KUDOS to you!
I find the blog world one of the most caring and positive places I know.
I love you guys! I am grateful for you all!
If you want to get in contact with me my daughter is handling things for me and Kelly's email is : czkk at comcast dot net
I won't be going through anymore posts until I come back.
I'm going to spend time hanging with my family and answering emails.
Try to be happy and enjoy life - remember to look for the good things - look for beauty - colors - the unusual things the Lord made -
it is all there for us to enjoy and be grateful for.

GOD IS THERE.......
I've been trying to keep us ALL happy and laughing because ...
My surgery is at 1:30 pm. I have to be in there at 8 am. They're going to give me some radio active material to light up my world, ah no I mean my lymph glands and then the doctor will be able to pick which ones she wants to look at. More information then we both want to know - right?
So let's have some fun today.
First I want to thank y'all.
I have had so many wonderful things happen to me since my diagnosis.I wish I could name everyone here, but I am afraid of forgetting someone or something.

Say do you like my doctor...???
It has only been by God's wonderful grace and my friends wonderful prayers that I'm doing okay and seemingly peaceful - you will NEVER know how much that means to me.
I TOTALLY BELIEVE in the POWER of PRAYER.
You have held me up! You have been my grace along with God.
GRACE IS A WONDERFUL GIFT!

I have friends right now going through treatment - and there are others with different, but just as important health issues too. They are hurting just as much as I am and are being brave as well. Some have spouses dealing with issues.
Kudos to you too.
I tell myself - remember this - HE will be there facing it all with me. I am not alone and neither will you!

prayers and hugs coming your way and that video at the top gave me goose bumps and chills on my arms.. wishing you a quick recovery.
Joining with so many others in prayers for your healing, comfort and the best possible outcome.
I love you to the moon and back. Lifting you way up in my prayers, always.
Sandie all of our thoughts and prayers will be with you!! You're gonna kick this cancer's ass :)
Lots of love and prayers for the very best outcome. We will surely miss you while you are recovering. I hope that you get some delicious white chocolate macadamia nut cookies to munch on. Remember that loving hands are all around you and that God's hands are the safest place in all the world to be. See you sooner than I think you think. Right, figure that one out. = D
You are in my thoughts and prayers....stay strong in your faith and everything is possible. Take the time you need and know you are missed.
Sandie, You have been in my prayers since you first told us about the surgery. On Tuesday I will be asking for prayers for you in my blog!
May God take a firm hold on your right hand and keep you safe.
Love.
Beth
Always in my prayers and thoughts. Love ya, Sandie. Everything will be OK.
You too are in my thoughts and prayers honey.
I loved the why women carry purses video. I laughed out loud.
Have a blessed day honey. Big healing hugs to you and scritches to Disco. ♥♥♥
I had no idea you were going through this - so sorry! Will be thinking of and praying for you. Sending love and hugs your way. xo
My prayers are still with you and will continue until you've beat this bad guy. With you're great attitude you will.
We are all virtually holding your hand as you go through this. Things WILL get be better, you WILL get better.
Yes - cookies are great! Praying for a quick recovery and a healing surgery. Thinking and praying for you :)
Sending {{hugs}} and prayers and positive thoughts. Stay busy, but calm. God's got this!
Sandie, I have your arrival and surgery time entered on my calendar on the 11th. Please know that prayers and very positive, upbeat thoughts will be headed your way from CA - I will even be up early to do so! I love your attitude about all the 'challenges' you are going through. Your faith and sense of humor, as well as wonderful family support, will carry you through this journey. God has given you a wonderful medical team to help you. He has given you many friends far and near and we are all with you at this time. Great post. Big Hug! Ann TBL
My prayers are with you.
I can't wait until you are back to yourself and keeping me laughing.
Sandie, You never lose your amazing sense of humor, do you!!! Lots of prayers and love coming your way from a ton of blogging friends. I will be thinking about you and praying that everything goes well. Keep us posted, please. And, the sooner you get back to blogging, the happier we will all be. Hugs, Mickie
Covering you with prayers for sure that day. You know what is reassuring when I think of things like this is God knows what the outcome is already and whatever it is, He is going to continue walking along side with you and will give you the strength, wisdom, comfort, patience, whatever it is that is needed. I loved the dance, too cute; that made me smile and I loved what Mare wrote about with earth suits; that is a great way to think about our earthly temporary bodies.
((((Sandie)))
I totally agree with you for taking this time before your surgery to spend as much time as you can with your family!
You are in God's hands, they are strong and capable hands.
betty
God bless your heart and soul, you darling little chickadee.
Sandie, you have made all of us laugh every single Friday for so long.
Your hilarious sense of humor, your love, your joy, your spontaneity, and your enthusiasm for life are so admirable.
We will be with you as you face this daunting challenge that life has thrown at you.
We will also be waiting for you to come back.
Your courage is bigger than the world's tallest mountain.
WE ARE PULLING FOR YOU!
Go and kick that cancer's ASS.
With dearest love, Susan
I know you may not see this for a while, but I do know that our Lord will hear my prayers for you...for a successful surgery and for a full and complete recovery. May He always have His arms around you, and may you feel His loving tenderness every step of your way.
Thank you for letting us know that you will be away for a while, and for your beautiful outlook on life...whatever life brings our way. You are my blogging friend, and I want you to know that you will be in my nightly prayers. Take the best care of you.
Love you,
Jackie
Lots and lots of prayers, hugs and prayers for YOU, my Special Friend... God Bless You and don't forget that I'm here if you need anything.. I can't get there physically--but I can do lots of other things if you need them done.
Love you Sandie,

Sandie, there are no adequate words to tell you how I feel. Please know that my prayers are with you, and will be flooding the gates of heaven on June 11th.
You are such a testimony to me - a positive thinker, and a faithful optimist. I have a feeling that all is going to be well - and that you are going to honor God through this journey, as you always do.

We, your mates, will still be here waiting patiently for you when you return to Blogworld; so don't you worry about us; you take your time...concentrate entirely upon yourself...be selfish about it.

Sandie, sweet dearest friend,
The Video you posted made my cry.
Your grateful words are awesome.
You have earned so much love throughout all these years sharing your loving world with us.
You made friends worldwide. People are praying for you from all corners and countries, including me from Overseas.
You are fully covered in prayers.
The Lord will guide the surgeon's hands, and all will be well for you. I know God wants you to live a very long life full of happiness, health and wealth.
I know we'll all miss you so much, beautiful Sandie.
I can't take you out of my mind, for I think of you every single day, and pray for your full healings and prompt recovery.
God be with you always.
Blessings and Prayers,
Starry.

My prayers are with you. I truly believe that you'll do just fine.
Miss Chatty, I forgot to mention how much I love the picture of Grandpa and Grandson! That is my favorite for today.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you tackle this. Take care dear blog buddy.
Your attitude is amazing and that makes a huge difference I think. You are and have been in my prayers. May the dear Lord bless you with a successful surgery and a speedy recovery and guide the hands of the doctors caring for you too. Hope to see you back here in blog land very soon !

Sandie, I saw your beautiful face on someone else's blog, and I thought, "OH, good, Sandie's still blogging."
As you know, I abandoned my Fill My Cup with Beauty blog many moons ago, to devote myself solely to classic film blogging. I have grown weary of being so focused and have recently started a new blog.
I wasn't sure if you were still blogging...until I saw that beautiful familiar face on another blog.
I'm so sorry to learn that you have been given a cancer diagnosis. I will be praying for you...that your surgery is completely successful and that every trace of cancer is removed from your body. May you be restored to radiant good health.
Love,
Patti
I'll be thinking of you and sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Loved that pink glove dance. Awesome
Hi Sandie -
Praying for peace as you go through this surgery and also wisdom for the doctors.
Big Cyber Hug,
Susan
I'm praying with and for you, Sandy. This is such a surprise for me. We've been out of the country for a month and a half and I'm just now catching up.
Eat lots of cookies while you aren't blogging. Oreos are the easiest if you have to sneak them. Just don't let naughty Disco find your stash.
Best cartoon to me was Dr. Sawbones. He sawed my knee in two with that big saw but he shouldn't be using it on you.
I still will pray for you (I do some times now, before this) for sure until you are back to cancer free. You are special in God's eyes and to me.
..
I will be praying for you to have the same peace that the Lord blessed me with the day of my surgery! I know exactly what you are going through so if you have any more questions please let me know and I'll answer them as best I can. I'll also be praying that the cancer has not spread at all. It is my prayer that when you first wake from surgery you hear the good news that it was not found in your lymph nodes!
Love, (((hugs))) & prayers,
Angela
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! We'll be here waiting when you are ready to return. Now go whoop that cancer's butt!! Take care Sheila
Good luck to you on Wednesday. I wish you a speedy recovery and I'll definitely be thinking of you.
Sandie, I wish you the very best with your surgery on Wednesday! I will be praying for you and I just know you will do fine, but you take all the time you need to recover and feel good before worrying about blogging. I hope Kelly can keep us updated on how you are doing. Take care, my friend, and know I love you and am praying for you!!
I love your positivity. Special prayers for you this week!
I have prayed and will continue to pray.
Tonight, when you lie down, please know that I have specifically prayed that you could sleep.
Tomorrow, when you get to the hospital, know without a doubt that I have already been in my prayer chair lifting you and the nurses and the surgeon, AND your family.
We will look that sticking cancer straight in the eye and kick it straight in the rear.
God be with you, Sandie!
Hey, Sandie! Sending prayers and hugs your way for the surgery and that God will guide the doctors' hands. Looking forward to hearing about your complete and quick recovery. Many hugs, Babs

OK. My scrolling finger just went numb! But isn't that a wonderful thing that there are a gazillion posts here for you, sweet friend.
I just read your post about the good news regarding your surgery.
I am so happy. "Happy" is not even enough to express how wonderful I feel as I read what you posted regarding the surgery.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!!
Love you, sweet friend.
Hugs a bunch,
Jackie
You should have left the comments on your newest post. Really.
I'm so happy you are feeling good and that the news is ever so wonderful. See what prayer can do.
