Do any of you have prayer requests??

Thoughts for a former coworker and friend of mine, MaryEllen.

She was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and it's spreading fast. She's had a few surgeries already, will be having a hysterectomy, and is going to have to go through chemo.

She is a sweet lady and not so well off so thoughts of her and her three boys will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if anyone read this, but she REALLY needs your prayers and thoughts more than ever now.

MaryEllen had a heartattack this morning. She's not doing well at all.

Prayers for all who are mentioned here plus one for Lut

He's going through some really tough times right now. His mom has alzheimer's really bad (most of the time she thinks he's her brother)
They (he and his 4 sisters) are trying to find 24 hour in home care and if that doesn't work she'll be put in a nursing home.

It's not only that her health is going downhill and dealing with her alzheimer's but the sisters are more interested in the house and her car...or should I say money.
It seems like everyone wants to fight. Why is that? Why can't they just be concerned with their mom and want to take care of her? Why is it always about money?
Of course I can't interfere, I'll be told she's not my mom (his sisters and I don't get along-because their all idiots )

Sorry to go on, but he's having a terrible time and only wants what's best for his mom.

Oh gosh, that's so hard to deal with. Why do people have to grow so frail?
Thinking of Mark and you, as well as his mother.





Linda, thinking of your little pup too.

Requesting prayers for my friend Liz and her husband, Bob. He was having dental surgery last week when they cancelled it mid-op. He was exhibiting abnormal signs for his jaw -- the tests came back today and he has basal cell scarcenoma ... I suspect I just mangled the spelling of that. They are in shock at the moment, as well as the pain Bob is in.

Prayers would be appreciated.

AmberLee - How is Bob doing? Can they treat this?


I am asking prayers for a PTr...a close relative is getting help for his addiction, and she is stuck all alone with no support - rest of the family have their own family illnesses going on.

Please pray that she reaches out and can find the help she needs. Please.

[catfamily]

That's horrible news Amberlee.
I looked it up...
Basal Cell Carcinoma

is this what he has?
I will say some prayers they can treat this in time.

Could you all spare some prayers for me? I am so scared right now and feel like I am living a nightmare. I went for my yearly mammogram on Tuesday of last week and they found a mass in my right breast. I had a "diagnostic" on Friday and the ultrasound shows a pronounced wall around the mass that has the doctor concerned. I am having a biopsy on Thursday of this week.

There is no history of breast cancer in my family that we are aware of, but there are other kinds of cancers. I am trying to stay hopeful that all will be well, but I am so scared. My friends are being very supportive, as is my boyfriend. Everyone tells me to not get upset since I don't know what is going on. That is easily said....not easily done. All I want to do is cry. I have doubled my anti-anxiety meds, and that helps some. I just cannot believe that this is happening to me.

[Catty1]

Easy for THEM to tell you to not get upset....but I guess they are just trying to help.

OF COURSE you are SCARED. Best of luck with the biopsy Thursday - and let's hope it is just a nasty fibroid cyst! (I had one for YEARS)

HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS!

Prayers to you.

MaryEllen had a heartattack this morning. She's not doing well at all.

Prayers for all and a special prayer for mary ellen, I lost a dear friend to ovarian cancer and a sister in law.

Did the chemo cause her heart stress?

[Kater]

My father's oncologist and the neurologist who has been overseeing his care believe that his nervous system is compromised and that recovery is not possible. They are not suggesting any treatment options at this point (although we had already ceased diagnostics and treatment earlier). His major organs continue to function well, so he probably has days possibly weeks left until one of them fails.

He is being transferred to Hospice today. They will treat him for comfort first and foremost. We have been waiting for a spot, so this is a blessing.

Please send prayers/good thoughts for peace.

Here is a photo of my parents taken on Dec. 1 before the UH Warriors vs. Washington Huskies football game.

Kater, bless your heart. I have been where you are. Your parents look like such lovely folks.

Your entire family has my prayers during this very difficult time.

Kater - thank goodness your dad was clear about what he did and didn't want.

I pray that he is kept comfortable and free of pain, and you all have peace at this time.

Your mom looks so sweet, warm and beautiful - and your dad, that great smile! He just lights everything up!
