From The Janet:
My precious cousin Lisa (my daughter is named for her) had a radical mastectomy last month, and is starting her third week of the first round of chemotherapy tomorrow.
She swears she is cancer-free now, says they didn't leave anything for cancer to be in, and the chemo is a just in case thing. I have to believe she is cancer-free because she just has to be okay, but it doesn't stop me from worrying. Now that she's down to 89 pounds (at 5'4") and each week hits her harder and she's so damned fragile. I hug her and there's nothing in my arms but a sweet smell and what feels like paper-thin bones.
I have a lot of cousins, probably more than my share, but my Lisa Kaye is so special, so close to my heart. If anyone has extra prayers (yes, I know we all have extras in abundance, but uh oh I don't know) where was I? asking please please pray for my Lisa Kaye. I don't know why it is so hard to ask.
From JCF:
I posted about my friend Cath on MadPriest's, asking for prayers (but the request got lost, apparently). A never-smoker, she was nonetheless diagnosed w/ in October w/ Stage 4 Lung Cancer. :-( (She learns tomorrow how her treatment is going. That's what her disease is called: "Treatable, Not Curable"---of course, I pray for a CURE anyway!)
Please, y'all, pray for her (she lives in my California hometown, and I will be seeing her when I fly home next week)
UPDATE from Doxy:
---and may I ask them for my friend Terri-Lynn, who is still fighting colon cancer? She's feeling better right now, but is still so very, very tired. She will celebrate her 50th birthday on Christmas Eve...

Thank you. Thank you so much. Last I talked to Lisa and she said this was her last week of chemo this round and they'd let her recover some before starting the next round. She says she's awfully tired, but is "just fine." She's always "just fine" when I ask, Her sister, another of my beloved cousins of course, said that really Lisa is doing very well with the treatment, said she's sick and tired of being sick and tired. Oh and that so far she hasn't lost any hair, and Lisa was so concerned with that, so no hair loss as of Tuesday (yesterday) afternoon and that's a good thing..
ReplyDeleteThank you, please keep praying.
That Lisa didn't lose her hair yet is a consolation.
