I Come to the Garden...

I am also one that lives there - my DH's co-worker was friends with the victims. The town is full of emotion right now. I have trouble controlling the tears.. I made this picture to honor the lost, the victims and all that were involved. Many are having issues with any startling noises. PTSD is rampant right now. I thank all that are praying for Roseburg, UCC and surrounding areas.

Even though I wasn't directly involved, I have started to have nightmares. Decided to go see my counselor that helped me through BC treatment. See her later today.

After I got home from Israel my oncologist put me through a battery of scans although in June all looked stable. I felt something wrong while in Israel why I didn't stay through September holidays. Looks like a major progression. I now have 10 tumors in the brain and the doc said if 10 there are probably 20. I was beginning to feel off centered while in Jerusalem. However, I was shocked to have a crop of tumors. I also had to have my lower back radiated as two large masses found, plus tumors on my lower spine. Well, my faith is being challenged, but rest in the thought God is bigger still, and my life and times are in God's hands.

The rad radiation surgeon doesn't give me much hope. I'm continuing on Herceptin, but not Perjeta. They are giving me instead a small pill taken by mouth everyday that works a lot like Herceptin but this one passes the BBB. I react to most meds taken by mouth so pray with me that I can tolerate this pill, without all the side effects. Pray, I don't lose motor control and or my mind. I just say, Jesus, call my name and lets just get out of here...but only in His time.

Need a few prayer warriors these next few months. I just want to be independent as long as I can, and have a brain. I wouldn't going any other way...just not lose my mind.

Hope you all are okay, and life is good. I'm seeing answer prayer in my family, as God is using this diagnosis for my good, and my family. I am in the presence of God and I know God is in control, and bathe in His love.

So few postings here that I'm not sure if anyone still checks in anymore, including me. But, if anyone's here, I just wanted to post about my friend Doug, with pancreatic cancer. The treatment seemed to be a success and on the scans several months ago there was no evidence of cancer, but the latest news last week is that it's everywhere. Drs told him palliative care and he has refused it for now, although his pain is bad. He had a chemo tx Monday, which they hope will shrink the tumors and relieve the pain, but he lost 10 lbs by Wednesday and had to get IV fluids. Haven't heard anything in a couple of days. Cancer sucks. It just sucks.

I remember Doug. I'll keep him in my prayers. You are right cancer sucks!!!

Ohh! I too hate hate cancer!!! A friend passed from brain cancer this week. They had tried so hard to do "everything" treatment wise right. He was diagnosed this summer and gone all ready!!! He was a genuine believer and we know he is in a wonderful place now and out of pain finally. But the loss is deep, especially for his wife and kids.

Then a few days ago, a young man (32) died unexpectedly from a heart attack. He is right around my DS's age. He also had 2 young children.

Plus all the violence happening in the world...........

We need you Lord, more than ever, in our hearts, our minds and our souls. Help me keep my faith strong, please! I pray for everyone reading this post that you will have the peace beyond all understanding overtake you and give you a few moments of calm and let you be be filled with love today!

Hello Friends, it has been quite awhile since I have posted, have been working a minimum of 60 hours a week and taking care of parents and grandkids up until this past October, when I decided to retire and live with my 86 year old parents,so I could provide their care and they could remain in their home. My DD had twin boys so that makes 3 grandsons! I am trying to like playing Dinosaurs and super hero's vs Barbie LOL! Had a 3D Mamo yesterday and then visited with surgeon who said all was fine. Got a call today for a re-do on my right (previous breast cancer side) calcifications were present. Hate to jump ahead but there have been no calcs since my original BC and now there are if I were to go with my gut I would say I have a reoccurance. Well, I will know a little something more on Monday. In the meantime I am asking for your prayers. Here is a pic of the babies to make everyone smile a little.

Love and Hugs

Linda, Prayers are coming your way..

Oh Garden Girls, sorry, I meant to post yesterday. But Happy Resurrection Day! Hope all had a blessed time in whatever you did.

This thread sort of stopped with regular postings about the same time as all my fav threads. I haven't kept up with folks too much unless they are FB, like with you Barbe. I don't know anything about 3Jays

I believe so. Barbara Archer may know.

continuing to lift my voice to our Father, intercession, healing, and peace!

Meece.. Sending prayers for you, and your family.
