    Angel,

    I know! But you know what, 10:00 p.m. is actually  working out for me since I don't have to take time off from work. It's just my darn shoulder and neck. The tech tried to tape my arm down yesterday and I practically hit him LOL!  Now only 26 TX's to go....(The Lord got me through it yesterday Amen!!)

    Laura: When will you be in Vegas??  I'd love to meet you and the other bc sisters. My family is going next week but not me due to RADS...

    Praying for all the beautiful sisters on BCO in Jesus Name.

    All the TaTa's ( which is all of us, right?) are going October 1-4th. We get there early am friday. and leave late monday... All are welcome... it really is a celebration of life for us all. We all met on BCO.. and we all have/had BC. This makes us sisters forever really. We call ourselves the " TaTa Sisterhood. I feel proud... I named us this over two years ago...

    Ladies.. please pray for my son Taylor. His heart rate is very low and we are trying to figure out what to do. He wore a heart monitor a few days ago.. and we are waiting the results. He is dizzy... bad vision... heart hurts... and he over all told me he feels like he is dying. He is 19... we are all heartbroken in our family... I trust God to heal him.... I am just heartbroken over seeing him in this pain and FEAR. he actually believes he is dying. He and I have been sleeping in the great room for the last four nights... he is afraid to fall asleep.. in fear of not waking. He has a WONDERFUL doctor.. and he has told the family, he will get to the bottom of this. Taylor's heart rate is 49-52. Too low...

    I ask you to pray for him to not suffer like this... to lift his fear.

    Love to you girls...

    Laura,

     I am praying right now for Taylor...that must be so difficult to watch your son feel that way!  But you know, if his heart rate is that slow, I bet what he is actually feeling is extremely tired, and that might add to his sense of "dying" . It might actually make sense if you know what I mean...

    So sorry he and you are dealing with this.  God has a plan for you....TRUST in His plan and in His mercy.

    God Bless!

    extra extra prayers for Taylor.. Is he seeing a heart specialist?.. I'm glad you are confident in his doctor.  My nephew had a pacemaker put in when he was 7... he will wear it for life but is in excellent health now.

    OK, back at work...time to start a new novena.

    We pray to St. Peregrine, St. Agatha, and all special saints in the presence of our Lord to intercede on our behalf. We pray for the people in our circle who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, that they may find acceptance and peace of mind, and physical comfort after their treatment. We pray for those of us who have completed our course of treatment that we may finish our lives without a recurrence. We pray that those who are not in remission find stability and then remission, itself.

    Finally, we mention special people by name, that they might find extra attention from your interessions. For Taylor, Sherry, KittyCat.

    Amen

    Laura,

    I've always been a redhead. But even in high school, I had a friend who sat behind me in class and would pluck out white hairs. When in my thirties I could no longer pluck them out without leaving a bald spot (redheads seem to fade earlier than others), I swore I would never "go gray". I've been coloring it since then. Basically, it's Revlon Colorsilk, Medium Auburn and Light Auburn. I need two boxes, so I mix the two colors to get something in-between. When my hair gets long enough that I need three boxes, I try to find Bright Auburn and throw that in the mix.

    My hair is styled just for the photo. I can't seem to get it that way everyday, yet. The frizzies from chemo are still on the ends that are growing out from the crown...and still have not reached my chin. And then there are the other lengths in between, too. So when the shortest lengths are just below my chin, I will get it cut and style...hopefully like this.

    Sherry is GREAT ladies.. NO CANCER found.. WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Praise GOD!! Thank you so much for offering prayer for her. She is a sweet lady and she loves the Lord!

    Taylor: we did not hear the results of the heart monitor test today.:(.... I am sure it will come tomorrow. I am in a better place with all this now. I know it is all the prayers. It is MUCH easier going through cancer for me, than wondering if my child is really sick.

    Todd ( dh) and I and the rest of our family... are hanging in there and trusting God.

    THANK YOU SO much for your prayers and your hearts!!!!

    Nancy... I am so happy you are starting the novena this week. I will be praying with you all... as I believe in the power of prayer so so much. As do you all!

    I will post about Taylor as SOON as I know something.

    xxxooo

    Awe, Apple...so sorry to hear all you're going through.  You have way too much on your plate right now.  I'm keeping you in my prayers.

    Nancy...love the hair.  We have a beautiful red-headed daughter-in-law (inside and out).

    Laura, anything new on Taylor?  Praying all will be okay with him.  My dad's doc just put a Holter monitor on him today to see if he needs a pacemaker because his heart rate is too low.

    I continue to pray with you all.

    God bless each and every one of you!

    Doctor called this morning. The heart monitor looked relatively ok. He wants him to have an echo cardiogram to check deeper. I think this is good news ...

    Hi All! Hope all is well with each of you! I am sitting here typing on my laptop when I had hoped to be participating in a 3 hour Novena today in Ohio....I got up at 5:45 AM, left at 6:30 AM for the airport, when we got caught up in accident traffic which put me at Kennedy Airport at 7:15 AM instead of 7 AM for a 8 AM flight...and they would not let me check in with luggage! I was really, really disappointed!!! Walked away from the counter as I knew I would use a few choice words if I stayed there any longer (I have been working hard on cleaning up my language these last several months...Embarassed ) and called my husband to come back and pick me up. I was heading out early to Ohio as I have to be in Pittsburgh for a week starting tonight....so I still have to get there...but I was sooooo looking forward to this 3 hour novena right outside of Steubenville, Ohio (1 hour from Pittsburgh).  So I gather the Good Lord does not want me there...and after a few tears (tired and frustrated) I offered it up.  I was going to bring all of your intentions to this Novena, so will just continue to do so with my daily rosary.

    Will have a tough time checking in this week.....12 hour training days.  I hope everyone stays cool, strong and faithful.  Continued prayers for Taylor!

    God Bless!
