I wish you the very best. I'll miss your voice.

HH

Take care of yourself, and good luck🍀

Poor girl needs to get a life instead of attempting to post her anti-Democrat shit here every day.
She sure isn't talking anybody into voting R around here, she just wastes her time for nothing.
My favorite image I always gave her.....

Best to you.

That said, I am sending you positive healing vibes. You just need to take care of you for a bit.

Love and hugs to you, KS.

That's fox "news"... and the Gaslit PEDO in the WH.

Uh huh...

in your life and stop obsessively stalking DU?

Hope you beat this horrible, horrible cancer, positive thoughts, healing vibes and most of all PEACE. 🙏🏻

Take care of yourself, and good luck fighting cancer.

Sending healing vibes your way 🤗. We'll be here when you come back.

I completely understand the need to remove the stress and anxiety from your life as much as possible. Many don't realize how much the negative factors surrounding us feeds our cancers and impairs our healing.

Focus on the beauty and the good things around you as much as you possibly can. Breathe. I can't stress this enough, take time to just be and breathe every day.

I wish you healing, health and peace. Maybe someday we'll both be back on MIRT again.

We'll miss you! Get better soon!

You are making the correct decision. You do not need the added stress of this political environment added to what your are already dealing with.

Wishing you calmness and strength as you defeat that cancer and return to good health.

You have always been one of my favorite posters here.

Do what’s best for you

You will be sorely missed. Hopefully, you'll be back again soon, but meanwhile, take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself and get better.
The atmosphere trump and his minions have created is very close to unbearable.
Innocent people are suffering all over the world from his actions.

May he get what he deserves.

Sending healing vibes.

Please take your rest. I wish you great strength and calm days! I won't say goodbye but rather "au revoir," which is "goodbye for now."

🫂🫂🫂

but getting your health back in control is far more important than politics and social media.
Take care and come back if and when you can.
Peace out
Dan

Good luck in winning your battle.

I am a survivor, too.

Take care of yourself first, and fight like hell.

I will be thinking of you each day and sending a wealth of healing wishes.

Someone gave me a four-leaf clover encased in resin recently that I have on my nightstand. So, just in case, I'll rub it every morning to send that luck your way as well!

Please take care of yourself. Given I agree with your political priority list, which I will share with others planning our own local "No Kings" protest as well as others online. We all appreciate your concern for all of us at a time when you clearly need to focus on your own recovery. I shall hope that both your health and our joint efforts to protect democracy show a dramatic improvement in coming days, weeks, months and certainly thereafter.

In the meantime, here is a little "cyber" replica! Give it a rub!

You have accomplished so much here and even now, while dealing with your health issue, you are offering us guidance. Thank you.

You are making the right decision and thank you for your faith in us that we will carry on and succeed.

Thank you!

Gonna miss ya.

... though in different bodily real estate, so I can empathize bigly. I often said that I didn't know I had cancer, but I sure as hell know I got cured, many of the side effects of which are permanent, at least in my case.
As everyone warmly suggests, take it easy, focus on taking care of yourself, don't worry as much about taking care of others, as is your predilection, I suspect, and especially, think positive; this shit can get you down. Don't let it. A little humor is a good weapon, too.
I imagine you have friends and loved ones you can talk to, but if you want to exchange thoughts with someone who's been there, feel free to PM me. Seriously.
We're all pulling for you, KS.

Surround yourself with beauty and light. Focus on the things that give you joy. We'll be here when you get back. All my best to you.

You are in my thoughts.

To help with pain and relaxation. There are simplified forms of both.

Rest and recover, please. Cancer is a horrible beast and I hope you are one of the many people who survive it.

I'm newer here so was unaware and very sorry to hear of your health issues. I sincerely hope you are able to get better soon and your general quality of life improves. Sometimes the treatment for cancer can be worse than just having the disease.
It's always good to unplug for a while from social media and politics in general.
None of the things on this site or on social media are more important than your health and well being.
Hope things get better for you ASAP.

I always look forward to your posts, but yes, times are stressful & keeping up with politics can skew your outlook. It has mine.

Take care of yourself & check in with us when you're feeling better.

It will be so good to once again see your name on DU posts and I hope it's not in the too distant future.

Take care of yourself and know we have you in our thoughts.

Taking care of yourself is your #1 priority. You gotta do what the doc says.

Take care of YOU. Politics is toxic, and you don't need that right now.



Now go pamper yourself so you can heal!

I will miss you here my friend but absolutely understand the need for self care.

I agree with your rx for the party, all of these are needed!

Take care of yourself!

I think you may be pleasantly surprised at the stress-relief caused by NOT following politics/current events.
I'm normally glued to computer hours a day, refreshing or exploring sites for additional information. But hubby has some health issues, and on a weekly (or semi-weekly) occasion I deliver him to rehab door, or consultation room, and I'm away from the "news." As I wait in the car, I read or work crossword puzzles; and to make my trip(s) more efficient (I live in the boonies & travel to the "big city" for medical), I do a bit of grocery shopping, etc. after the appointment. When I get home, I find that I'm feeling better after a 4-6 hour break from "the news." And while I think how much better I could feel with a complete absence, I lack the will-power to NOT turn on the computer.

All I'm saying is that I hope your time away is VERY stress relieving, and encourages progress on your journey of caring for yourself first.

Thanks for all you do and you have done these many years on behalf of DU. Cancer is beatable, and it's important to follow the advice of your doctor. Sending healing vibes your way.

Please check in from time to time and let us know how you're doing.

you to return to our community. Hugs.

You're going to be missed, especially in MIRT.

But your health comes first. Take care of yourself and hopefully you'll update us from time to time.

KS Toronado, sending good vibes your way. Get well and take good care of yourself.

I will miss your toons.

I'm looking forward to seeing your return in better health under better circumstances.

. . .no matter what.

Your healing is what needs the most attention. The Healing Path is the Tao, the Way. Imagine if all humans chose the healing path instead of the destruction path. How amazing we would be as a species. Fill your self with compassion for yourself and others. Nurture your body, mind and soul with nature, beauty and peace. Comfort yourself with those that bring you joy and love. Find the light of your being and brighten it. 💚🧡🩵💛

I will miss your daily toons and insightful posts. Thank you KS

Your health is paramount. Everything else in your life revolves around that fact.

You'll be missed a lot, but I understand totally.

My Dr. told me to cut back on political activity as well after The Big Orange Fascist Pig 🐖 was re-selected. I took a few months off and it did me a world of good. I'm thinking of doing it again, because 3 more years of this tRump shit-show will definitely get my blood pressure rising again.

Get healthy, my friend, and maybe resume light activity down the road sometime. Your daily "condensed cartoon" feature will be greatly missed, but we need you healthy more than anything else!

So long, for now.

beating this cancer, with a speedy recovery and a quick return!

you comfort, you have it here. Know that we love you and are keeping you in our hearts.

Remember, we need you. Also, the Pet, Cooking, Fiction Forums are here for gentle sharing.

Lighting a candle that you'll beat the cancer.

And the “Walk for peace” one have been fantastic. (The Buddhist monks who spent months walking from Texas to Washington. Ended at the beginning of Feb)

please follow all protocols and come back soon
See you soon on this board….

I will miss you terribly.

Agree with all of your wish list, but we'll continue to be your boots on the ground while you kick cancer's ass. Sending love, light and healing vibes to you. Hope to welcome you back after a full recovery!

We will really miss you.
'Course you could trash all forums except The Lounge and dare us to make you smile!
💓🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💓

I have beenn chasing squirrels off my birdfeeder, while you have taken on chasing trolls off DU. I admire you. Please take care of yourself now.

Good karma

I am praying for your healing and sending you lots of love.

Sounds like you have a superb doctor who cares about you, as we do.
Spring is coming. Nature is waiting for you.
May you be well and heal well. We love you.
(And hey, we can all use a break from the fuckwittage!)

Be well, and I'd just follow Ziggysmom and Catbyte postings, guaranteed to make you feel better.

I understand the harmful effects of anxiety from all that we see hear and understand.

that can help within a couple of minutes. It's called the Butterfly Hug, and it's one of the techniques recommended on this page:

https://www.debbieaugenthaler.com/toolbox-2/

I first heard of it about 20 years ago and have heard from a lot of people that it helped them, and very quickly.

I'm not as familiar with the other techniques recommended there, but they may help you as well.

Wishing you peace of mind today, and victory over cancer.

Concentrate on yourself and your well-being.

You've been a treasure here on DU and know that we're all rooting for you, you're health and well-being.

We will still be here when you're ready to come back.

I've always enjoyed your posts and I enjoyed working with you on MIRT a few times.

Good speed and good travels.

Wishing you strength and healing. Sending love

So much, it's hard to know that you must take your leave out of self preservation.

We love you and will miss you until you can return!

Much love, thanks and best wishes!

We will miss you. Sending healing vibes.

I am glad that you are taking your doctor's advice. Your health is the most important thing.

You will be missed. Thank you for all of the cartoons and other material that you have contributed to this board. Your posts were appreciated.

Thank you for your illuminating posts over the years.
Much hope and light I am sending to you.
