Please pray for Debbie and Maria. Both of these women have breast cancer.
Debbie lives in the UK and is subject to nationalized heath care. She found the lump last spring and the doctors are just now getting around to testing. It's a nightmare.
Maria (lives in the US) is having a recurrence.
Please pray for strength for both of these women and their families.
Thanks. j

Prayers for Debbie and Maria.
Father, You are our strength and comfort for us all as we walk through difficult times and I ask Your will be done in these two womens’ lives. We ask that your healing hand will touch these women and give them strength to go through the care they need, and I ask it may be in a timely manner for them. Amen.
Prayers up for the complete healing of Debbie and Maria and for comfort and strength for their loved ones.
Please add my prayers to the list. Please tell both these ladies that the waiting is THE HARDEST PART.
I write this at 5 am from my hospital bed. Docs did a mastectomy yesterday, if I’m a good girl (and they don’t find out I was up most of the night!) I’ll go home today.
This all started in July, with a bad mammogram, followed by a failed lumpectomy and failed sentinal lymph node biopsies (3 out of 9 had not done their jobs, they were excised and FIRED!). So now I got the mastectomy done, and will start chemo shortly.
My points in giving out so much personal info are these:
If I would have gotten the last 2 mammograms (herein everafter referred to as “dammograms!”) this wouldn’t have gotten to stage 2.
If the docs would have moved faster, I’d be halfway done with chemo, etc.
I will never again be as afraid as I was from July until yesterday. The fear was the hardest part. It was paralyzing.
so, THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS:
Get your mammograms. And if you get a bad one, remember, very few women who get breast cancer die. Also, remember that if you do have chemo, and if you do lose your hair, chances are good it will come back different. I’m looking forward to strawberry blonde, slightly curly, always looks like it was just styled hair.
Attitude is everything! And a killer sense of humour will see you thru quite a bit. Family, friends and yes, even net friends will pick up the slack when you can’t carry the burden alone.
Prayers are priceless. And remember, Be Not Afraid!
I hope these two ladies (and all the rest of us BC folks) find the peace they’ll need to deal with this.
Also, my pink ribbon says “Save Second Base!” because I refuse to give cancer the dignity of a fearful response. Screw cancer!!!
I will pray...

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
