    slonedeb. i'm glad to hear from you. i'm so sorry that her unprofessional comment has upset you.

    go ahead and cry for a while. you've been under a lot of pressure. don't read anything into her comment -- not until you're with your doctor and hear in person what she thought she saw.

    i remember a rads tech saying something 'casually' that completely unglued me at the time ...... they just don't realize how we hang on their every word.

    i've made it safely to Dallas and have a gorgous room for the week. i did spend the afternoon @ their Aquarium and had the nicest time. i thought i'd splurge on the web tonight -- to celebrate my safe arrival.

    Deb remember where two or more are gathered in his name there HE is in the midst of us. We lift this up to him to handle for us. Shame on that lady for scarying you. I am not sure what the test should show heart wise. If it is not good we are going to trust GOD to mend it. Deb you have many reasons to be upset. This disease is just not kind. Seems like i have more days where I dont feel so good but I continue to fight and trust his word. You said we will praise him in the storm. WELL START PRAISING....... God bless my dear deb. I love you and always pray for you.

    Darlin' slonedeb, I am here tonight only for YOU~~~and to put a hex  Yell on that nitwit girl!

    Heavenly Father,

    As we kneel before Your throne of grace, we ask a special blessing and benediction upon Deb, We particularly pray that You will shield and defend her from the ravages of fear and anxiety. Place Your protective mantle around her and her loved ones that they will be fearful of nothing. Help her, Father, to change these times of fear and apprehension into trust and assurance. Keep her steadfast and resolute of purpose in serving You and in doing Your will.  Lord, hear our prayer, for we give You praise, honor, glory and thanks.

    Amen.

    slonedeb........ here starts another day! what will it bring? i hope that you were able to unwind and relax from your stress filled day yesterday. we are here for you -- no matter what is going on.

    breathe deeply. there's research that shows what a benefit can come from that simple action.

    prayers, hugs, encouragement, strength and courage!

    Long night in America, wasn't it Deb. I watched until my eyes couldn't stay open, and knew that tomorrow would indeed arrive one way or the other. I thought of you as I watched, hoping you were able to breath in some of the excitement which always surrounds an American election.
     
    So yesterday you went for discussion of your lung findings. Perhaps a biopsy was done, perhaps not. I do hope your doctor(s) were able to address your questions as much as possible, so that you didn't leave feeling empty handed. Did you talk about what assistance you might get in various ways (pain meds, treatments, oxygen, home health care etc)? Do you have a social worker now to further assist you?
     
    Gentle prayers being said today for you Deb.

    slonedeb,

    I thought I would let you know that a woman in my local breast cancer support group had the lymph nodes on her aorta become involved.  She has been successfully treated and is presently NED.   I think it's much more likely that it is the lymph nodes by your aorta and not the aorta itself that showed up.  I would be very surprised if it wasn't the lymph nodes she commented on.

    Darn, Deb. I'm truly sorry to read this.
     
    Let's keep the faith that a change in chemo will help strangle those liver mets, and return your liver function to normal. I remember Larry Norton from Memorial Sloan Kettering stress that if you're willing, there's always another chemotherapy to try. Kind of sounds like your post. Make sure you let your oncologist know your willing straight up.
     
    Lots of comfort for you these next days, Deb. This was a long week for you.
     
    Time for nighttime prayers,
    Tender

     Dear Deb, if it is your will to keep fighting, the Slone Rangers will fight right beside you

    God, it is written in Mathew 15:13 "... Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." We root up every sickness in Deb's liver, and every other part of this dear one's body and declare that this is the temple of the Living God and we reject every infirmity, sickness and disease in Jesus' Powerful Name. Cancer, we command you to be rooted up and cast out of this dear one's body in Jesus' Powerful Name. God, every pain that our dear Deb is having, I ask please remove it in Jesus' Mighty Name. Jesus, You say in Your Word that we should cast our cares to you. We cast this sickness and we take your yoke that is easy. Thank you for this precious exchange in Jesus' Mighty Name. Father, we specifically pray for all those that are reading this page and in their heart share a healing prayer for all breast cancer patients. God meet their desires and honor their cry.

    AMEN~~~

    slonedeb. I'm still in Dallas. just connected to web for a minute to see how you're doing.

    i've exhausted myself and your news brings me straight to tears..... but we will rise up together and continue to pray..... asking for miracles, in the example of our Daffodil above.

    i've got a reception to attend, must call a taxi........

    will be back later tonight & hopefully will have my wits about me.

    know that we all pray for your strength and courage in the face of the storm.

    SloneRangers: I can't even begin to express my appreciation at seeing so many wonderful, warm posts of encouragement for our KentuckyDeb. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Well my friend, in spite of three boys crashing around in their bedroom, I'm going to call it a night. So as I tend to do, I thought I'd drop by and say I hope you get a restful sleep, and join us here when you're up to it. 

    It must be difficult to face another chemotherapy, wondering how you will react (I had three in the past), yet please remember your many friends here who clearly will help you on the SE's.
     
    Wishing you peace, Deb. May your sleep be deep and restful tonight.
     
    Prayers for you,

    Deb, I had a checkup with oncologist today, who complimented the symmetry of my foobs, as well as noticing their FIRMNESS! I graphically filled him on the joys of fills! The men have NO idea!!

    On the way to his office, I was awed and overjoyed at the glory of the autumn leaves. I wish I could just glue them on their branches~~~for more reasons than beauty!Wink

    Hugs and cuddles floating around you all Saturday long, brave Kentucky Woman........

    slonedeb. what an amazing world i'm running around experiencing.

    your role model of strength and perseverance gives me inspiration when i feel weary.

    your model of continued faith in the midst of the storm, re-energizes me when i am discouraged

    your efforts to reach out and encourage others is a model of sisterhood.

    hope that you are able to find some blessings as the day unfolds.

    The day passed so quickly, Deb, filled with lots of chores, yet outside time to take in the glorious fall day too. I hope your DH might arrange for you to take in an hour of Kentucky fall sun; it seems to always pacify my mind and let me know the world is bigger than my troubles.
     
    Saying a prayer for you tonight, hoping you feel our support and know how much you mean to us. 
     
    Rest peacefully,

    For our gallant Deb on Sunday morning:

     Blessed are you God our God, King of the universe,
    who knows where the cancer cells are and uses medicine to destroy cancer,
    and who brings health and life in my vulnerability.

    Lord, please help the chemo drugs to find the cancer cells; to effectively destroy them; and to help my other cells be so healthy that the cancer cells cannot grow back.

    AMEN!!!!

    Lots of good wishes being sent to Kentucky for you, Deb. Prayers that your liver responds to the next medication regimen and by so doing lets you feel better, less pain, and more like eating and talking again. I hope your day is a comfortable one for you.

    slonedeb. dear, dear slonedeb. what a heavy heart i have in reading your post above.

    i can't imagine the emotions that you're going thru right now. i'm so sorry that the news is so bleak. i want so much for a miracle to come straight out of the heavens and wrap itself around you. you've continued to fight and are such a valiant and faithful sister in the midst of it all.

    we will continue to storm the heavens with prayers on your behalf. we will continue to hold your hand -- no matter what comes on down the pike.

    i pray that this latest news will bring you a sense of calm in the "knowing" ...... the unknowns are being answered, even when we destest the answers. i don't know how long it will take -- or how you'll find the peace in all of this, but i trust that the heavens will somehow send you answers, angels of mercy who intervene when you're wracking your brain for answers.

    i know that you're a person of faith, dear slonedeb. this is the biggest test of your faith to date. we all have to believe in the grace of God, the plan for our lives here and the ultimate home in heaven that awaits us. i don't want you headed to heaven any sooner than you want to head there, but we both know that there is ultimate healing ahead for each and every one of your bones.

    enjoy each moment that you have with your dear, sweet, supportive husband. treasure the memories that you've stored up. relish the time with your grandchildren.

    know that we will always remember your teaching to us: "ride out your storms."

    so much love to you, in the midst of these tough tough tough times.

    wouldn't it be something, if your doctors 'information' all proved to be of little use and you outlived us all. who knows what's possible when we give the whole story over to our Creator.

    i just wish there was something that i could say that would be of any help. words seem so very inadequate. so completely useless. we are here for you -- even when words have so little benefit
