SCE a bit of information.

SCE is in hospital/rehab. He had surgery to remove a brain tumor (successful) and is now in a rehab facility. He will begin radiation treatment for lung cancer soon.

He appreciates all the love and concern sent his way.

I'll post more info as I get it from his family.

Thanks!

I miss you SCE. I am hoping for the best. Keep your sense of humor, it helps. Feel what you feel and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I'm a cancer survivor and the survival rate for my cancer was 20% the first five years. That was about 15 years ago. Everyone is different but good results do happen.

You're in my thoughts.

I have to admit this wasn't the report I wanted to hear.
But the good part of it is everything has been successful, and you're doing what you need to do to get better.

Speaking for myself, I have to tell you how much you are missed. You have no idea of how much I look forward to your Lol cats posts every Sunday. I have this deal with myself. Normally on Sundays, all I do on DU is what you post. And then I take the rest of the day off from all the bad news.

Your posts are healing. Your posts make me laugh and smile. They feed the soul.

You have banked so much good karma on this site, so now it's time for all of us to give that good karma back to you. Take your time and heal, keep doing what the doctors tell you to do, and let the love that we all have for you surround you. We truly do love you, and can't wait for you to be better, and be back home with us.

Sammy says 'do this every day.' It will keep you occupied, and it will make others wonder what you're up to!
