    Please continue to uplift Jeannine in prayer. Her tests came back and the news is being absorbed by her, It appears to have spread but she did move while having the test. Hugs to all, Corinne

    So sad to hear about Lisa....she went through an awful lot and I will pray for her family and her little girl.  Jeannine - still praying for you and know that you are SOOOOOO LOVED no matter what the tests say.  Loves to all......

    Hi friends,

    Well as Corrine said it, my PET/CT is not good. I finally retrieved my copy today and it indicates new focal areas in my left pelvis (explains the excruciating pain) and in my spine and neck. I'm not totally confident with this report as they indicate "tracer areas" (hot spots) and focal areas. I also may have moved? There are also new tumors in my rt chest area (2). A portion of my rt. lung also collapsed. As soon as I heard voicemail from Dr. I knew bad.  What was  postive was last night Joel Olesteen said no matter what your 10 min. of tribulations are, it's up to us to give up to God and with faith have a good attitude the Lord will handle it.  Well I've had like 2  yrs. of tribulations! I had a talk w/my 11 yr. son last night and told him "Mommy may not live very long" It's so not fair. I did promise I'd keep fighting. My next step? To see about new expanded access trial which would give me the new PARP drug. I have to first kick this lung infection. So much to deal with.

    Please keep me in your prayers sisters.

    Love you all,

    Jeannine

    Jeaninne, my prayers are with you and your family in this your toughest time.  My heart is just breaking to hear this news.  God will get you through this.  Please let us help in any way we can.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Lisa.  A powerful soul has been lost to us, but what a great cheerleader we have for us in Heaven now!  RIP Lisa.

    Love to all,

    Deen

    Dear Sisters

    Just back from beach camping in northern California.

    Jeannine, thinking and praying for you. I wear a prayer bracelet I got blessed for you in a temple in Cambodia - each day I send strong prayers for you. You inspire me so much. Warm hugs,

    Everyone....please pray for my friend Cindy. She is a mother of 2, 47 yrs old and is fighting for her life. Four days ago they found her in bed unresponsive. It turned out that she had a bleeding ulcer which caused septic shock and diabetes. Her blood sugar was almost 600/ She is on a ventilator and still in a coma. Not sure about brain damage. Her kids have been by her side around the clock.

    Jeannine: We are still praying for a miraculous healing. WE HAVE A GREAT GOD who can heal at any point he wants. Even the winds and the waves obey him!!!

    Gail: You got a new pic. You are beautiful!!!

    Stacy: Hope you are doing well

    Misty: Thinking of you lots. We love you

    How very shocking about your friend, Corinne.  I'm praying that she pulls through.

    Jeannine, what happened with the pulmonary doctor you saw last week?  Was he able to drain any fluid?  And any news from UCLA on getting into that new trial?  You are constantly on my mind and in my prayers.   

    Love the new avatars!  Gail you look beautiful!  And alibug, is Ali taller than you are now?  It sure looks like it!  She looks so grown up, and you both look so lovely and happy!

    Happy October all ~   Deanna

    Hi Sisters,

    Great to see when everyone checks in - I feel surrounded by good friends today. I find myself nervous about the onc. checkup next tuesday. After 3 months, almost forgot I have to have tests and see what they say. 

    Always thinking of you Jeannine - sending healthy thoughts.

    Ali, isn't wonderful to have a daughter? Mine is one of my best friends and a daily joy, my sons too, they don't check in as often but they are wonderful!

    Corinne, I'm praying for your friend, for her strength and her children. 

    Love to Deen & Deanna, and everyone!

    (I'm finally able to ride again, now down to 80 degrees!)

    Hi Everyone,

    Two pieces of really good news here:

    1) My onc visit shows normal markers and all good. I'm grateful!

    2) My son called from Switzerland - he and his beautiful Swiss/Japanese girlfriend got married in a small Swiss village! I'm thrilled...and grateful.

    With love,

    Gail

    Just checking on on everyone. What a gorgeous day today is. I am wrapping up Christmas presents while listening to some beautiful Christmas music. There is a frost on the ground. Going horseback riding today and then REVIVAL service tonight. What a great day to be alive!!! I hope all is well for everyone and I will check in on Jeannine sometime this week. Hugs to you all and wish I could someday meet you all  on this side of heaven. I love each one of you.

    Hi all, Well I am recooperating from my revisionary surgery. Tomorrow I get to take off the bandages. Ouch!! I tried to call Jeannine but have not been successful in getting ahold of her. Has anyone else heard from her? Wow, cant believe it has been a year since my reconstruction. I miss my friends who are not with us anymore. Sometimes life seems so unfair but I know that when we get to the other side we will see a different picture. Please take care and post if you get a chance. Also, has anyone kept in contact with Karen and if so how is her mom? Thanks
