Get Well, Cajsa Lilliehook! Famed SL Blogger Recovering from RL Surgery

If you're just as dazzled as I am by Cajsa Lilliehook's incredible NWN profiles of great virtual photographers on Flicker, such as Eripom Moonwall or Ilyra Chardin, or posts on her own blog SL fashion blog It's Only Fashion, let me add to that amazement: Cajsa created these posts while preparing for surgery to stave off uterine cancer. She's out of surgery now, and I'm relieved and happy to say he's now in recovery.

"[I probably] will not need radiation or chemo," she tells me. "I am not even taking ibuprofen, that's how little post-pain there is. My only real problem is I keep forgetting not to touch the patch behind my ear that itches, but when I touch it, I get too big a dose of the medicine and it makes me dizzy. Insta-intoxication."

Good news all around, and I hope readers consider sending her a nice virtual Get Well message in Comments below, or on her Twitter, or on Plurk. One request from Cajsa: If you're a woman, please check yourself for Uterine Cancer symptoms.

"This is a cancer without a screening program," as Cajsa puts it, "so is only caught when it is looked for specifically. Pap smears do not catch it, so folks should watch for the symptoms." She (and we) are very lucky she caught those symptoms early. "I got my diagnosis when the news was full of people talking about [Trump and] Russia being a nothing burger. So... my metaphor is, 'This is not a nothing burger, but it isn't Carl's Jr. or even a Whopper. It's a White Castle Burger." Which I guess means bite-sized, but potent.
