I just talked to Cindy Sheehan's sister
Dede just called and Said that the surgury went really well and Cindy is groggy but doing very good.
The Doctor was very assuring that he was happy the way things went.
The results for the biopsy will be back in a few days.
Thank all of you for your good wishes and You know that Cindy loves all of you

10. az is a friend, and Cindy didn't really want this advertised;
it's pretty personal. So it hasn't been 'out there' much.

11. I'm glad she's doing good.
Edited on Wed Aug-23-06 03:41 PM by Texas Explorer
I had the pleasure of meeting her on the opening day of Camp Casey III and, though she was on the 34th day of her "Troops Home Fast" fast, she looked good. And she's a really sincere and concerned woman too about the state of affairs in this country. I felt privileged to have been able to speak with her.



Here is video of blessing of Cindy's crawford property:

19. Please tell her...
we're all doing our best to carry on for her. No one can replace her, but she has empowered so many of us to act locally & nationally. Please thank her & tell her how much we appreciate her & that we're sending her strong healing vibes.

20. She has been on my mind all day long
She looked bad on Saturday but looked better when I saw her Sunday morning before I left Crawford to come home.

Tell her we are carrying on but missing her.

Thanks so much for the update.

She has been through so much. I'm not sure too many people could have gotten through it like she has. I admire her tremendously.

26. cindy is tough as nails!
i met her in crawford last year. what a strong human being. i can see why the chimp is afraid to talk to her.

anyway, glad to hear she's doing well...sending good vibes for a negative biopsy and a speedy recovery.

we need cindy back on her feet soon so she can get back to the business of stomping on the nazis!

46. So Typical
Freeper comments like those are the reason I cannot stand conservatives these days. They have no humanity at all. I cannot have any respect for such cold people.

PS--Get well, Cindy!:hi:

39. I believe she told me it was abdominal
Mine was vaginal and I was out for weeks. No way I could have traveled a few weeks later.

32. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and I hope you consider talking about
what caused you to go to the doctor and what options you were given to determine cause of your anemia.

I was told by my doctor that my fatigue and spotting were because I was close to menopause. Turned out I was very anemic which was caused by a bleeding polyp. Spotting/bleeding symptoms continued for a year and a half and I finally went back in and was again told I was peri-menopausal and sent home with a pat on the head. I called back a few days later and demanded a sonogram (least invasive method instead of biopsy) to at least see what was going on in my uterus.

I haven't talked w/my doctor yet about results, but the technician said it was either a small polyp or fibroid and nothing to worry about.

Many, many women are told not to worry or concern themselves when something abnormal is going on with their body.

Many women also get the diagnosis of uterine or cervical cancer too late....


I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I do think that women need more info so they can ask informed questions when they get medical care. We have to learn to discuss openly some of the signs and symptoms of different ailments.



I hope you get plenty of R&R so you recuperate quickly. :)

38. I only say this in respect and love.
I really like and respect Ms. Sheehan, but could you please tell her to be less naive when it comes to political matters. There is a vast record that she could look at; if she needs help, I or others will help her look for stuff. Chomsky is the best bet or Zmag. Whether it be Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro, the media is looking at her, anything she does or says will be scrutinized. Hope she heals.

40. She is NOT the least bit naive!
And contrary to what you claim, the media doesn't pay near enough attention to her. Last week, while I was with her, the media was more interested in Jon Benet Ramsey's killer. :eyes:

48. Hon check your answering machine
I'm equally concerned about you over stressing about this event as I am about your "replacement problem child" over doing during her inevitable recovery.

Talk soon love.

Great healings to both of you.
