please help

Hi everyone. Someone from my chemo thread post this , and I think it is sooo very healing. I wanted to share it with you all. Especially you Sue.

 Do you ever feel like you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death? During the tough times, it's easy to get to discouraged. I love what it says in the verse, "though I walk through..." No matter what you are facing today, know this: you are not alone, and you are just walking through. You don't have to stop and live in the tough times. They are only temporary. I encourage you today; don't allow fear to paralyze you in the middle of "the valley of the shadow of death." Remember, God is with you. He is walking beside you. He is strengthening you. He is making a way of escape for you. He is lining up people and situations to bring you out of that tough place into a place of strength and victory. Don't give up! Press on and walk through! Begin to get a vision of your life on the other side. See yourself more loving, more faithful, stronger and more blessed than ever before. As you keep moving forward and walking through, you will get to the other side and experience the victory God has in store for you!

"He is lining up people and situations to bring you out of that tough place into a place of strength and victory" That would be us , thank you very much , have a nice day!

Thanks Melody!!  That was so appropriate!  Very true!! I know Sue will love that! WE...are some of the people GOD has lined up for you!!! Lisa

Karen...I understand how you feel when it comes to not wanting to talk about it.  That is a normal feeling.  But hopefully, after they find out, that you are doing well, and look well...the conversation will turn to something else. Do you have more than one wig?  Or is it just the one that Chase had on?  I only had one...gosh it feels good to say "had"!  Well...still have it..just not wearing it!  I had blond hair, and got a darker colored wig.  I am glad I did, cause I was so pale and washed out going through the tx's, I think the blonde would have washed be out. Karen...have fun at your dh's party tomorrow...relax and enjoy!!

Just wanted to note that the author of the post is Joel Osteen.

Lisa , what is the appt. with Joanne Fabics for your daughter?

HEEEYYYYY SUE-Bug, how is today? Hopefully, blessedly, a good day. But take em one at a time, honey, baby steps. You are done with TWO of them WHOOOPEEE!



Karen, your little boy is adorable, makes me sad for the old men mine have become! What happened to my little boys? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh



I read that post, realized my house was spotless, ready for surgery, my Christmas shopping was all done, and I was sitting on my large rear in the garage playing with Cleo. She is so adorable. I have to wrap her in a towel twice a day to give her the medicine. I wrapped her all up, she looked just like a tiny baby, I rocked her, and patted her and sang to her and the little angel started to PURR!!!! Now that is an unusual cat. I gave her the medicine from a dropper, (which she hates, of course), rocked her some more, and here comes the purr back. Now that is a special cat, and she hardly knows me. I can't wait to get her back in the house, she was having so much fun, I think she spent most of her life in a cage. She was enthralled with the shelves, the cupboards, behind the couch, and wonder of wonders, she obviously was playing with a pair of glasses Walt had lost under our bed (he bought new ones, of course), and she kicked them out. Now she is a hero. Can't wait to get her back in the house, she is so patient and sweet. Only two more sulphur baths, poor little thing.



Anyway, I decided to count my blessings, (most especially including Sue, and all you dear, sweet sisters) and enjoy Christmas.



Gentle hugs, Shirlann

Oh Lisa , what wonderful news! She definately is gorgeous and I am so excited for her. Thats so nice the other mom can take her. Yea , at 16 , I would feel better if someone went with her too. Have fun with your party!

My Christmas miracle, I went to get all of my test results today, my scans were all OK the cancer has not spread. I start chemo right after Christmas, I hope that everyone has a very

 Merry Christmas.

Oh Diana , this is great news! Good luck to you with chemo. Have a very Merry Christmas , I'm sure you will!xxxx

That is so sweet...  I can just picture you there with your swaddled kitty giving it drops and love...  I LOVE cats (have three) and know you are bonding so well with your pet, in spite of all the meds and quarantine issues.

My kitties have been at my side (at my feet, on my bed, sitting on me, etc) since my diagnosis...  They are a real comfort to me when I'm alone during the day. 

My one kitty is a Himalayan named "Angel".  She stays as close by as she can--I think she can tell when I need her close...  If I'm crying in the night (from pain, etc) all the cats come to me...

Your cat is learning how much you care--and that is priceless...  I hope you will have a more relaxing Christmas wherever you celebrate it.... 

Give that kitty a pet and chin scratch from me...  I'm so glad you two found each other.

Diana, I am thrilled for you. What a wonderful Christmas present. Much love and congratulations to you.

I hate it when she is not here.  I worry.  Silly old grandma, but she is our doll.  Sue, come on and let us know you are okay.  Remember, love, "Don't wowwy Mama!"  Words of the children are spoken in truth.

I will come back to see what is up.

Love all you dear sisters, I still wish we had one week together in Tahiti, one week in Vail, one week on a cruise ship!  Now, that is a plan.

Hugs, Shirlann
