                      I haven't been on the MJ site for a while because I have been.      diagnosed with cancer. Found some in deferent parts of my       stomach. I have many tests ahead which will tell us more.        I feel pretty good at this point. Just tired. really surprised         by all this as I'M very seldom sick.            Very little snow here this year, very odd. So early spring          coming up, looking forward to being outside .              Sorry I haven't been keeping up here on the site but             this diagnosis has been a big surprise.                                      Nancy Jo

                      Hi,      I just want to thankyou ALL for your kind words and prayers. It means a lot to me and my Family.       I have more tests and probably some sort of surgery coming up. I feel pretty good, just tired.        I'AM not used to feeling tired, so that's new to me. I will keep you updated. Thank you again       for your kind concern. I read all your comments.                                                          Extra  big hugs to you all.                                                                      Nancy Jo

                      Saying many prayers for you Nancy Jo. As a 2 time cancer survivor I know how very scary these first few days are. Stay positive and keep feeling all these good vibes and love coming your way.

  “Off to the Doctor this morning, the Hospital is"Roswell Cancer Center". They will be getting me all the info I need for the upcoming surgery on the 19th of this month.”
  Keeping you in my heart, thoughts and prayers  Nancy Jo.
