Goodbye friends
Had long talk Wednesday afternoon with my primary physician, she believes I have an Anxiety problem
and is the reason I'm still losing weight even though I changed my diet to fating foods. She wants me to
wean myself off of politics and news until I beat my cancer. I'm taking her advice.
Currently the tumor has taken over my entire head below the ears, before breakfast, lunch & supper I need
to take 2 extra strength Tylenol to be able to eat, jaw moving up and down hurts.
Couple things I wish our Party would do.........
1) Offer 10 million dollars to whoever has proof Elon Musk's software stole the 2024 election, believe the
talented computer hackers would start working overtime and if they did find indisputable evidence that the
last election was indeed stolen, all hell would break loose in our favor.
2) Get plans in place to have exit polls in place at every polling location every hour they are open just in
case Musk is up to his old dirty tricks.
3) Start a campaign "Make sure Rs allow you to vote in November"
Now I'll stop worrying about politics since I said that, there's a lot of people I'll miss chatting with every
day and hopefully I'll beat this cancer and get back here.
This is also my official resignation from the MIRT team.
= new reply since forum marked as read
hugs for healing and comfort. He will be gone one day and you will be back! 
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.

in your life and stop obsessively stalking DU? 
Hope you beat this horrible, horrible cancer, positive thoughts, healing vibes and most of all PEACE. 🙏🏻
You are one-human-of-great-kind!
Sending healing vibes your way 🤗. We'll be here when you come back.
We look forward to your healthy return!
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.
Do what’s best for you
You will be sorely missed. Hopefully, you'll be back again soon, but meanwhile, take care of yourself.
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
I am a survivor, too.
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! 
Gonna miss ya.
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.
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 understand pulling back and focusing on your health. In fact, I have pulled back considerably starting about a year ago. I knew the goal of our foes was killing me.
It does work wonders.
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.
. . .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!
please follow all protocols and come back soon
See you soon on this board….
I will miss you terribly.
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!)
I understand the harmful effects of anxiety from all that we see hear and understand.
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.
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!
I will miss you but you’ll be in my thoughts always.
See you soon, healthy and stronger than ever.
Stress kills.
Take care.
Do put you FIRST. and
...and courage while you take care of yourself.
You have to take care of yourself. We will miss you ad we will be here if you ever decide to pop back in to say hello. ❤️ ❤️
especially since your return will likely mean that your health is no longer in jeopardy. Take care of yourself, KS.
It's too easy to get so involved here, take a break to care for what YOU need directly specifically. and fdt. And lg.
Sending you vibes and hugs.
I can only wish the best for you & send healing energy.
You are in our thoughts.
Take care
Have some zen time at a park. Let the sun touch your face in your yard. It's the small things like that that help my anxiety. Take a bath if you like that, gentle yoga or meditation app, Calm is a good one.
For your recovery. Your GP sounds as if he/she is giving you very good advice--reduce the stressors, the anxiety so you can concentrate your energies on your health and healing.
Take care of yourself.
I'll really miss you.
So what I’m saying is, by all means - DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR HEALTH!
But do make sure you have something in mind to replace DU as a coping mechanism. It should be something interactive, dynamic and engaging.
Best of luck and lots of kind wishes to you, as you do what is best for you. You have to take care of yourself to keep caring for others.

But it IS time for you to focus on YOU. And on everything you’re gonna need to recover, from medicines to good doctors to time and beneficial therapies.
Thanks for your three “guidance points”, for what we can work on while you’re focused elsewhere.
Take care of yourself! We’ll miss you and we’ll be sending you MANY thoughts and vibes and prayers for restored health.
We will see you again when you are fit and ready to get stressed out all over again But in the meantime, rest well and heal up. See you soon.
It sounds pretty rough for you right now, but we'll still be here when you come back.
Hugs!
Good luck..we are all rooting for you
Your ideas are brilliant! I will spread the word.
I hope the respite helps with your health.
Your fight is our fight.
I am grateful for your contributions here, you will be missed. Wishing you love, healing and peace moving forward.
healing vibes KS Tonado! Your health is the most important thing
Holding you in my heart, KS.
I'll certainly miss your humor and your amazing cartoon collections, not to mention your friendship, but you're absolutely doing the right thing, following doctor's orders. I wish you a calm and healing time and look forward to the time you're able to be back with us again. And you know that DUers love to send those healing DU vibes - and it sure looks like you're sent an avalanche of healing. Keep calm, Get well, and know that DU is missing you, and that absolutely includes me, my friend!
You're one of the good ones.
Please take care.
You will be missed.
