    Diana,

    Take every opportunity to trust Me for all that you need.  This is no time to allow your circumstances to send you into a tail spin.  Be strong and keep the faith, for I see your need, and the price has been paid on Calvary for answered prayer.  Push through the fear that comes from looking at the problem through natural eyes.  Rise up in the Spirit to receive what I have already supplied, says the Lord.

    Prayers for Diana from Long Beach, CA.  !!!!!

    Diana is only 31 years old - with four young children...a loving husband.  She received the news today about brain mets and she is devastated and so are we right along with her....for the ravages of this disease called cancer!

    Please all of you PRAYER WARRIORS out there.....remember Diana and her family in prayer.  God foreknew this day and He alone knows the outcome....but He loves her and wants the best for her....and covets our prayers for her.  Diana knows her Lord and she is our sister....lifting her up is what we can do best....

    Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."

    I love you Diana! It is going to be OK... I am so very sorry you have to go through all the extra treatment... there are AWESOME ladies here that have micro mets.. I have met some of them... THEY are such a TIGHT group... they will help you with questions you might have in the middle of the night.....

    I am at a loss for words... Just know I have spent hours in prayer today... Tell me what I can do beyond that.

    I will be here keeping the prayer thread going for you and I know other ladies here ( who ALL are beautiful) will join me....

    You will wipe this clean, just like the first time around.....YOU WILL!

    ALL my love,

    Laura

    Laura ~ there are no words that I have, or can formulate right now, but thank you.  I love you more than you can know and I am so humbled for you to have asked others for prayers for me.  I am determined to do all that I can do.  One foot in front of the other I say.  I was strong and have decided on the gamma knife, that will happen in about a week to a week in a half.  Then I will do the tykerb and xeloda (sp?) and continue with herceptin.  I feel at peace with that, I have begged and pleaded with God today like no other.  I felt good then I came home to four little faces wanting to know why I was home from work early.  Thank God I have a cold and could fib a little.  We have decided not to tell the kids anything right now, and believing what the doctors said, it is still at a point that is curable so I am not going to tell them anything that will worry them.  Me taking a pill and getting herceptin is normal for them. 

    Please keep me in prayers, I so need the strength right now.  Love to all.....

    Diane, know that I am lifting you and your family up in prayer right now!

    Heavenly Father, I come before You right now with all urgency for Diane, Lord God.  God, You know her needs, but Your word tells us we are to come to You, and "all things whatsoever we ask in prayer, if we believe, we shall receive"  and sweet Jesus, I believe that You are the great Physician, and You absolutley heal, so Lord God I ask You to look favorably on Diane and touch her body, rid her of this cancer, restore her to perfect health.  Lord, nothing is too big for You, You can do all things and You can heal Diane.

    Lord God, I ask for You to drape Your veil of mercy over her home, her children, her husband and give them comfort and strength.  Jesus, this news is devastating to her and her family, so Lord, I ask that You craddle them in Your arms.  Let them feel Your love, let them know Your presence, Lord God.

    None of us are even worthy of You, none of us have earned Your mercy, love, or forgiveness, but Lord God, You alone are God and You give all these things to us freely.  Without You, there is no healing.  Without You there is no mercy.  Without You there is no forgiveness, so I give praise for You sweet Jesus.  I give You all the glory and Lord God, most of all I give you all the praise for all You are doing and will do in Diane's life and in the lives of her sweet family.

    Lord, I want to thank You for such a strong, powerful, loving group of women who when faced with adversity, take off running straight to You Lord God!  What an honor to know Linda, Laura, Diane, Sandy, Lisa, Diana, Gretchen, Jill, Jean, Deborah, Samantha, Pam, Elaine and all the women on this board.  Holy Father, I cry out to You for dear, sweet Diane and I ask Your blessings, in Jesus sweet, precious name I pray, Amen.

    PHILIPPIANS 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

    That was beautiful Karen.... DIANA will see all this ....

    Dear Father, I do not have the gift of words like Karen and so many ladies here have. I pray with them, and am thankful for their words... I have the words of gab, but not the words of a preacher... Thank you for those who you gave this gift too!

    I am praying in the way you know I am Diana...Annie, in the same way.

    God , Father... we don't always get it.. but we trust you.

    Laura the good news about prayer, is the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we dont know what to pray:

    ROMANS 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

    Diana - I don't know what to say. I feel like we are all sisters in this thing. And we are forming a big circle my dear, with you and your family in the middle. And we are going to fight to keep everything but healing and comforting and loving touches from getting inside. Please know that I care! - Jean

    Diane, you will be in my prayers.  I am so sorry you are going through this again.  I have to tell you a great story.  My ex pastor's wife has/had breast cancer.  I talked to her about a year ago.  She had mets to the brain also.  She had surgery and I'm not sure about chemo.  However, the last time I saw her she was doing great!  She's a walking miracle.  So, dear Diane, miracles do happen.  You will have many prayer warriors praying.  I know that prayer is what got me through...friends prayed when I didn't have the strength. 

    Hang in there.  AND BELIEVE!

    Hugs, Shirley

    Diana,

    I pray that you had a restful night.  I got up this morning with you on my mind and I pray that you have a better day today and just know that we are all pulling for you and will do just as we did with Olivia, continue to pray until we get some results. And then pray more!  GOD is ALL POWERFUL.  There is power in numbers and we sisters are a powerful bunch of prayer warriors so GOD knows that when we come calling we mean business.  Have peace knowing that GOD is right there with you through the additional treatments and that we are constantly praying for you and your family.

    Sorry that I changed your name on the Topic when I started this prayer chain..I don't know how to get in there to change it.  I wrote it down correctly, I just hit the wrong key and did not notice.  :-(

    NOTICE TO ALL SISTERS:      I MADE A BOO BOO   Our sisters name is DIANA  WITH AN    A  not   E    Please make your changes to her name.  Sorry

    Good Morning Friend!

    I prayed for you about every hour last night, all through the night,. Like Linda, I woke up thinking about you and prayed you slept. Today is a new day... a small 7mm met... ZAP ZAP... it will be gone just like your rads onco says.

    Shirley is so right, miracles happen many, many times a day.....

    If you decided not to go to work today, I am home doing taxes ( gag),,, call anytime,,, I promise not to cry today... :)... We'll find a way to have coffee over the phone and laugh.. Or, I;ll say something retarded.. and you'll laugh "at" me....

    God, please take care of all your cancer patients. I know you hate this disease also. You hate us in pain. Hold us tight Father, we love You!
