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.

  7. Halloo my dear -- thank you so much for the award! It is very precious to me because of the GIVER, YOU!

    Your posts are so beautiful; there is heartwrenching news but through it all your love and support for those in need just shines through it all. So giving of a heart despite your own heartache and worry. Now that is a full and precious heart you have there.

    Your friend Doris is sure a fine woman! So many talents, with the pearl in the crown in my opinion "she makes a peacful home for her family" -- no higher praise possible. Had to laugh at your "she's still raising him" quip!!!
