I need prayers!!
« on: August 22, 2011, 07:26:48 PM »
  I just got off the phone with our best friend and his wife also our best friend for over 30 years and she is in the hospital with stage three ovarian cancer. She went to the doctor today with what she thought was a pulled muscle and got hit with this and went right to the hospital she had tests run and it may have involved other parts of her body,they thing the liver may be involved but aren't certain at this point.

 Surgery is scheduled for Wed.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

That's bad, JF.

They will be in our prayers.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

My grandmother was taken by that very same disease in the mid-70's.  I hope treatments have improved in the intervening years.  It remains one of the strongest reasons I give a portion of my financial contributions to cancer related research organizations (among others).

My prayers are with your friend and to all who know her.  There will be some trying times ahead.

My fingers are crossed for the best possible outcome, JF.
This sort of thing...it always makes me appreciate the sun on my face, the rain on my head, and teh sound of my kids in my ears.
When its not tragic, life's pretty good. It's a shame it takes something like this to make people appreciate it sometimes.

All I can say is "hang in there." It's tough for everyone in these situations. We have some friends from church, who have a young son with lymphoma AND leukemia. He was diagnosed a couple of years ago, when he was ten, and he's been through the mill with treatments, and it's been hell on him and  his family, but through their faith they are, well...."hanging in there." And the prognosis for him is GOOD.

Praying that your friend will fare as well. God be with all of you during this difficult time.

So, don't.  Call and ask how things are and let her talk -- she might need to.

Or ... he might.
