I saw in a thread in the digital forum that apple* was shopping for a portable keyboard that she can bring with her to chemotherapy sessions, which she is starting soon.

apple* is such an important presence on PW, and I knew that others would be as concerned as I was to hear of the health challenge she is facing. So I PM'ed her and asked her permission to start a thread where we could all send her our love and concern. She replied that she could use some positive energy, so here I go!

apple*, please know that you have the good wishes of the literally hundreds (thousands?) of people who visit this forum. 2hearts

I had no idea. Best of luck, Mary -- how nice that you can bring your own keyboard with you. Maybe you can be your own music therapist. wink

All the best to you Apple. Play your keyboard, stay strong and you will beat it. thumb

Hi apple,

All of us are praying for your remission and your prompt recovery.
I'm going to put you on our church's prayer list too.
I've been a prostate cancer survivor for the past 16 years now and I understand your cares and your concerns.

Keep the faith apple and all will be okay. smile

Sincerely,

Barry

Let me add my prayers and best wishes along with those of everyone else, apple. Playing a keyboard while you get your infusions sounds like a really cool idea. May you take comfort in knowing that there are dozens of us thinking about you and praying for your swift recovery.

You will come through this just fine.
Use the music to take your mind off of things, and know there are a lot of people pulling for you.

Best,

Apple, our prayers are with you. I moved my mom in with us when she was going through the same thing. It wasn't easy through the treatments but with the help of family and friends, she beat it. My mom lives with us to this day.

Your friends and family will want to be with you. Greet them with open arms. Keep them close. You will come through this also.

I don’t think I ever would have thought of taking along a keyboard for chemo sessions. You're such a positive minded person, apple!!


Keep the joy of music and a happy song in your heart!


I truly look forward to meeting up with you, once again, sometime soon! 2hearts
