Kasumi

You taking the necessary steps to care for your body makes the day a wonderful day. You've got this! Treat yourself to a few smiles today!

Much love Kasumi, it is a tough battle but one that you can win.

Positivity and healing sent your way.

Progress is still ongoing, but I am so grateful that you're facing this today, where equality means your health issues are not comparatively underfunded, understudied, or misunderstood when compared to those of others. Happy International Women's Day Kasumi! I hope that the poise, strength and grace your signature image and writing has shown you embody can carry you through, and be an inspiration to us all.

From one fighter to another, cancer is scary, but you can beat it and you will. Remain positive and lean on us when you need to. If you have any questions or need someone to talk to, I'm always willing to listen.

*e-hug!*
Here's one of my favorite quotes by Marcus Aurelius:

“Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

You're going to kick this thing's butt!

Wishing you strength, endurance, and healing - I'm very glad it was caught early, and hope you have it soon in remission.

Any extra healing energy / good vibes / whatever you do (I won't judge) that can be added for tomorrow, March 14, around 1pm Pacific Time (8pm UTC) would be greatly appreciated. They are putting in a chemo stent at that point.

Thank you everyone who has reached out. I know I have been quiet on this thread, and I hope it is understood that I'm a little overwhelmed by this. But the support I've received from the Temple as been amazing.

I shall burn a white candle for you at that time friend !

I have a surgically installed IV port in my chest used for chemo treatments, so if you have any questions, I might be able to answer some of them. The procedure was pretty painless and it healed quickly. I don't even notice the port anymore, and it has been way better than getting stuck in the arm with a needle for every chemo treatment.

I'll be thinking of you and including you in my meditations, including tomorrow at 1PM. Stay positive and take one day at a time. This will all be behind you before you know it!
