I need prayers please
I was in the local hospital fighting pneumonia, anemia. New CT scan reveals large nasal pollup and deviated septum with necrosis...New MRI shows more mets to ribs and more involvment of femurs. My second opinion oncologist stepped in and regulated my care and my followup on Monday is with her...not my onc of 8 years in another state...my choice...she's upbeat and a female and I like her too...it's convenient to have it all in the same community where I live. She wants to try Xeloda and take me off Taxol because of my side effects. This was the first time I have been sick other than pain in the past year since this dx...it has opened my eyes in directions I didn't want to go...being sick certainly does that...more questions on quality vs quantity of life...and therein lies my prayer request...for wisdom and guidance. I did learn one major thing while in hospital...God has more for me to do...I had people in and out of my room searching, questioning, sharing...so I do know and accept that I was where I was supposed to be for His ultimate will. My problem is with family and with decisions and with biting my tongue against forcing them to accept reality...so I need God to do all that for me...and I in turn am ready, willing and hopefully able to follow Him on this new path while still on this side of the grass. I do still climb up on His lap, you just never get too big for that. I'm looking forward to the day when I will be with Him in Heaven...but until then.... Thank you...all of you...for allowing me time and space to "talk".

I think it is great that ou have a place like this you can put down your thoughts. I will include you in the Mishebeirach prayer we say every friday night at services at our synagogue. It is a prayer of healing and sends peace to all. I will hold you in my silent prayer. Hope you don't mind mixing religions but I feel that we will all be one and togerther on the "other side of the grass".
Love and hugs,
Beth -
Beth please add my mother on your prayers, she is not doing well the last days.
Jan, you are in our prayers everyday. I hope that Xeloda will help you feel better and shrink the beast. Never lose hope. We don't know what are the plans of God for each one of us, so we can't do nothing else than insisting in our prayers, like little children:) -
Beth,
Please add to, and post prayers anytime ! All prayers are welcomed!!
hugs ,

Beth, I would feel honored to have you include me in your Mishebeirach Friday evening...quite honored. I know I echo the sentiments of others such as Carrie and Lorenzo in welcoming your prayers and your requests for prayer...we stand united.

Beth a quote for you ...
Religions are different roads converging upon the same point.
What does it matter that we take different roads
so long as we reach the same goal.
