Happy be-lated Thanksgiving Sandy! My heart is with you and your mom. Cancer stinks. No doubt about it. I work at a Cancer Center in Boston (will not say name here for fear of Google), if you end up down in the Longwood Area give me a shout and I'll run to give you a hug!!!

I've no words, just lots of good and warm thoughts for you and your family. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving day and you're all enjoying the weekend!

You and your mother are in my prayers. May God bless your family with overflowing peace and love at this time.

I am thankful that you are a balanced and clever woman who has the extraordinary good sense to count her blessings at the same time as you accept your challenges.
Wish your mum well for me Sandy, and I can tell that you are going to be a very good support for her. Let me know what I can do for you.
I'll be sending you strong vibes from here. Eat my share of the turkey.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and especially for your Mom. Lovely post on all that we should be thankful for.

Sandy, I can't say for sure that I know how you feel because we all different experiences in similar situations in life but I do know that Knitting got me through my Mom's cancer diagnose with the fear and uncertainty it brought and the shawl I knit helped my Mom through the what seemed like endless surgeries, the radiation treatments, Chemo and the tears. Now the shawl is a reminder to be thankful of each passing day. I will keep you in my prayers too.

Poor Sandy's Mom and family! What a scary diagnosis. My hopes and wishes go with you all that this is a minor speed bump in your lives.

All good thoughts and prayers for your Mom and your family as you go through this. Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Oh my God, Sandy. What you all must be going through. You and your family are in my prayers. Warm hugs, honey.
xxxooo

I'm so sorry to read your news. We lost my FIL earlier this year to Lung cancer. I'm sure your mother has been diagnosed earlier enough and that her prognosis will be good.
Try and have a happy thanksgiving.

all the best with it

Oh, I'm so sorry. My family has been touched by cancer several times over the last few years. My Brother. My Mom had cervical (10+ years ago), then breast cancer (5 years ago) she is doing fine now. It is never easy.
I will hope along with you and will keep your Mom, you, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandy,
I know you don't know me, but I feel I know you. I consistently read your blog, and yours is the only blog I consistently read. I really enjoy you and your knitting! I know just how you feel. My Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago and I was devastated as she and I are VERY CLOSE. I am most grateful to say that my Mom is a 12-year cancer survivor! YIPPEE!! One of my sisters is in a terrible battle with cancer now. She stays very positive and has a very strong faith, and we have come to know how important that is. Three years ago the doctors gave her six months to live and, thankfully, she is still with us today by the grace of God. Please stay positive and have faith in God. I will keep you, your Mom, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy Thanksgiving & Knit On!

Hugs, Hon! I'm hoping hard for you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I'll definitely be sending good thoughts her way. Do be sure and enjoy Thanksgiving a bit more this year :)

Bless your heart! I will keep your family in my prayers.

Yup, hoping along with you.

Take care.

Very best wishes to your mother,and all your family.

Oh, Sandy - I am so saddened to read your news. My prayers are with your mother, with you and your family.

My prayers and good thoughts are with your mom, you and your family. If you need anything, even an ear to vent, I'm here.

Thinking of you Sandy, I'm sure that now the doctors know the problem they'll deal with it swiftly. Try and keep positive as I'm sure you will, big hug to you.

I'll be keeping you, your mom and all involved in my heart, good thoughts and prayers. *HUGS*

I'll second Anne, cancer is the scariest word. Warm thoughts for you and your Mom, no matter what happens this will be a Thanksgiving you will always remember.

check out hystersisters.com, it really helped me a lot.

Sandy I am thankful that the doctors have found the cancer and that they are going to be proactive in dealing with and eliminating it. I am thankful that you have such a wonderful relationship with our mother and that you now have a moment to realize fully what that means to you - most of us don't get that until it's too late to enjoy it. I am thankful that you have friends and family to surround and uplift you during this difficul, uncertain, and fearful time. I have been getting to know you through your blog for just a few months now,but already I love you. I find you a kindred spirit. My prayers are with you and yours! Be safe and ALWAYS be thankful!

Love,
Amy

Sandy, I'm sorry to hear this terrible news. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, but I'm thankful for all the wonderful people I've met via knitting blogs, and you're right up there near the top.

Thinking of you and your family, Sandy. ((Hugs))

Sandy, this weekend with all those you hold dear around you, think hard on all the blessings you've mentioned and hold on tight to them to help you through the fear and uncertainty ahead. Know that we're all out here thinking good thoughts for you, your Mum, and your whole family.

sandy, i'm sorry to hear that. but better to know than not. and now you can spend thanksgiving indulging yourself in spending some extra time with her, and showing her how much she means to you. thinking healing thoughts for ya!!

Oh crap! I am so sorry to hear this.

Hugs to you and yours.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandy I'm so sorry for this news. Cancer is one of the scariest words in the english language.

Know my prayers are with you and your family.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know that fear, that bad stomach feeling. I'll cross my fingers for cure. I'm here if you need a shoulder.

Sandy, you and your mother will be in my prayers this Thanksgiving. I almost lost my dad a year ago and I remember well the almost-afraid-to-breath feeling. Take care of yourself.

God bless you and your family. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I understand the feelings of butterflies in the stomach, fear in your heart. Positive thoughts and the time you get to spend with family is one thing to be truly thankful for. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sandy, my thoughts are with you and your mother --

Sandy, my thoughts are with you. What a challenging time! You're in good shape, though if you can find so much to appreciate eved during times of difficulty.
I think that many of us are grateful for you!

My prayers will include your family in a more specific way as you move through this.

Oh Sandy, I know just how you feel as I have been there. My illness and then my mothers brought us closer together. Looking back it was a blessing in its own way. Hugs to you, grrlfriend and if you want to talk don't hesitate.

Oh Sandy, I am so sorry for you and your mom. Somehow, though, these tough times bring unexpected moments of hope and a new awareness of what's important in life. Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family. I'll be thinking of you!

Sandy, I am sending you pink light and virtual hugs.

My own mother (http://journal-to-a-muse.blogspot.com/) was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. I feel like I can say, and mean it and know it, that I can imagine what you are going through. Mothers/daughters are indeed such a special relationship. I wish you both the best - I know that my mother and I found such a difficult time to be easier since we had each other. Big, big, hugs.

Hey Sandy Girl, I'm thankful for YOU. For your blog and for the fact that we've met in person and have a strong connection. Hold your mom close this Thanksgiving and count your blessings that you have a wonderful mother in your life. Happy Thanksgiving to your whole family!

Hope all goes well with your mom - we'll be thinking of you.

Thinking good thoughts for all of you! Hope the day is filled with laughter.

Sandy, I am thankful for your blog - for sharing your family and life with us. I will keep you and your mom in my thoughts.

Sandy, went thru the same with my mom a few years back and she's fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this crisis. Need a shoulder? Mine's available.

Good thoughts here for your mom. Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes we will be hoping right along with you for more to be thankful for. In the midst of this fear, think back to the wonderful times you have had and hold those memories dear. You will be there for her and give her strength to go through the next few weeks & mths. I know she is thankful for that.

I'll be keeping you, your Mom and your family in my thoughts.

Sandy, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mother and your family.

So sorry to hear about your mother. I will hope for the best along with you, and keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. It's times like this that make you realize how much you have to be thankful for. God bless.

Oh, Sandy, I am so sorry to hear about your mother's illness. I will keep her and your family in my thoughts, and hope that you will get a clearer picture from her doctors very soon.

Sandy my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope they caught it early and everything is treated quickly and she heals well.
