I know many of you are aware, because you have posted on the "Health Issues" forum, but for those who don't know, one of our members, Pam (bcipam) is having surgery for colon cancer today. Needless to say, she is concerned and appreciates the thoughts and prayers of all of you. She is a great cyclist, both road and mountain, and she can't wait to get back on the bike. You can check out her thread under Health Issues, "Update on my surgery".
Thanks to all,
Nina

Me too. Usually that kind of cancer can be stopped. With Bicam's stamina she should do fine. Of course, we will want updates and progress reports. Tough times for many people- I have 4 friends now who have cancer.

Thanks for the update, I have been thinking about Pam as my own father completed his chemo for colon cancer.

Sending out positive and compassionate thoughts! My dad had colon cancer about 13 years ago, and was completely cured, no recurrences.

Poor Pam! I had no idea! (I don't tend to read the health forum either.) May her surgery be successful, her hospital stay be short and her recovery from surgery be swift.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

I did receive an e-mail from Pam's sister, but I am waiting for a further e-mail re: posting to the forum. Apparently, surgery lasted 2 hours and the prognosis is good. The doctors and nurses were surprised that Pam was up and around quite early. She had requested no visitors just yet. Will keep you posted. I know Pam appreciates everyone's concern, prayers, positive thoughts, energy, hugs, etc.

Update on Pam
Hi girls. Pam is taking fluids by mouth and is expected to go home Tuesday night. That's the latest. Will advise when I know more.
