THANKFUL FOR WONDERFUL BLOGGING FRIENDS

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR FRIEND DORIS WHO SHARES

THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS MY SISTER, SHERRY. DORIS IS THE MOTHER, OF

TAWNA, ANOTHER LONG-TIME FRIEND OF MY MINE. DORIS IS A VERY

TALENTED HOMEMAKER AND AVID GARDENER. SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL HOME

AND A BEAUTIFUL YARD. SHE SEWS, PAINTS, COOKS, QUILTS, AND HAS MADE A

PEACEFUL HOME FOR HER FAMILY. THAT HANDSOME MAN IN THE PICTURE

WITH HER IS NAMED RICHARD...SHE IS STILL RAISING HIM...HAHA...THEY

RECENTLY CELEBRATED 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. ALL OF YOU IN BLOG LAND,

WOULD LOVE HER AS MUCH AS I DO. SHE HAS 4 GRANDCHILDREN SERVING

THIS COUNTRY.....BRANDON IS IN IRAQ, THOR IS GOING TO IRAQ, KRISTEN,

AND JAMIE. DORIS, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL LADY.

BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR....IRENE, MY MOTHER IN LOVE. SHE THEN HAD

LUNG CANCER AND IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM HER BREAST CANCER. SHE NEVER

SMOKED A DAY OF HER LIFE, AND SHE IS A PINK WARRIOR.

SALLY....PLEASE PRAY FOR SALLY...SHE IS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR.

HER CANCER CAME BACK ABOUT THE TIME AMY WAS DIAGNOSED AND SHE

HAS HAD QUITE A TIME WITH THE CHEMOTHERAPY MAKING HER SO VERY

ILL. SHE JUST HAD AN MRI LAST WEEK AND FOUND OUT SHE HAS 8 TUMORS

IN HER BRAIN....I SAID SHE WILL MAKE IT AND SHARED DEENA'S STORY

DO I LOOK PRETTY IN PINK....SHE HAS BATTLED THE SAME WAR AND

THAT IS WHY DEENA CREATED THE PINK ANGEL WARRIOR.....FOR THOSE

WHO HAVE HAD BREAST CANCER AND BATTLED THE WAR TO SURVIVE.

MY DAUGHTERS FRIEND ASHLEY HAS AUNT KATHY THAT NEEDS PRAYER.

SHE HAD BREAST CANCER A FEW YEARS AGO AND JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY

SHE HAS CANCER IN HER LUNG. WHEN YOU HAVE BATTLED THE WAR

AGAINST CANCER AND YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEATEN IT....TO HEAR YOU HAVE

CANCER AGAIN IS LIKE BEING HIT IN THE STOMACH WITH A BAT.

LEILA...IS DOING GOOD. SHE IS WEAK AND HAS FOUND OUT SHE WILL

HAVE TO TAKE 7 MONTHS OF CHEMOTHERAPY AND THEN THEY WILL REEVALUATE.

HER HUSBAND JUST WENT BACK TO WORK TODAY. HE HAS BEEN OFF A MONTH

WITH HER AND HIS COMPANY HAS BEEN THE MOST SUPPORTIVE OF ANY

COMPANY I HAVE EVER SEEN CONSIDERING HE IS NOT THE ONE SICK. WHEN

THERE IS A SERIOUS ILLNESS IN THE FAMILY IT EITHER BRINGS YOU CLOSER

OR IT SPLITS YOU APART. LEILA HAS A WONDERFUL HUSBAND.

MY BELOVED AMY.......ON MONDAY SHE RECEIVED ERBITUX. HER

PLATELETS WERE TOO LOW TO GET THE REST OF HER CHEMOTHERAPY.

THE NURSE GAVE HER A NEUMEGA INJECTION AND THEN I GAVE HER ONE ON

TUESDAY. TODAY, WEDNESDAY, HER COUNTS WERE HIGH ENOUGH TO

RECEIVE HER CHEMOTHERAPY. SHE RECEIVED TAXOTERE......IFEX AND

MESNA AND CAME HOME ON CISPLATIN. SHE WILL GO BACK TO CLINIC

TOMORROW AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND COME HOME WITH CISPLATIN

INFUSING AGAIN. THEN ON FRIDAY IT WILL BE THROUGH AND WE START

DOUBLING UP ON NEUPOGEN AND NEUMEGA INJECTIONS.

SHE GOES BACK TO OKC TO SEE DR. MEDINA ON MAY 11, 2009. I

THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT SURGERY SOON AFTER THAT BUT HE MAY WANT MORE

CHEMOTHERAPY. THANK YOU ALL FOR REMEMBERING NOT ONLY AMY

BUT EVERYONE WHO IS IN NEED OF PRAYER.

I DON'T WANT THIS BLOG TO BE SEEN AS DEPRESSING BECAUSE I LIST PEOPLE

WHO ARE IN NEED OF PRAYER. I SEE IT AS A VERY POSITIVE THING. ANY TIME

YOU FIND SOMEONE OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO

TOUCH HEAVEN WITH YOUR PRAYER PETITION YOU HAVE FOUND A

VALUABLE FRIEND. I ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE MAY BE A TIME I

CANNOT FIND THE STRENGTH TO PRAY FOR MYSELF AND WILL NEED

SOMEONE WHO WILL PRAY FOR ME.
