Debbi, so sorry to hear about all your health concerns.. i'm glad to hear you're trying to keep a positive attitude.. I know it's easier said then done, but i'm a big motivator for positive thinking.. I try very hard not to throw negative thoughts out there... they have a way of manifesting into reality.. but same goes for positive thoughts.. i'm not super religous, but my faith is strong.. hang on to yours and continue to think positive.. even if all you can say one day is that '...today is a good day because I got out of bed..' OK, that was a bit drastic, but you get the point.. I use music and humor to get thru bad days and enjoy the good..

two of my favorite books for "life" are:
The Best Of Barbara Johnson: 3 books in 1
- Stick a Geranium in your hat and be happy!
- Splashes of Joy in the Cesspoos of Life.
- Pack Up Your Gloomees In a Great Big Box, Then Sit On The Lid and
Laugh!

so sorry you got such bad news. My wife just went thru a round of breast cancer, surgical removal of some breast and 6 limp nodes, then the chemo and radiation all while I was recovering from AVR. She is cancer free now and reciovering nicely. I will pray very hard for your recovery.
 
Debbi,

You are such a bright spirit and positive person and inspiration to so many here. You know that I am very sorry that you have this additional big challenge to overcome (life indeed often seems unfair) but I believe that with the help of prayer and your fighting spirit, you will succeed. Know that our prayers and best wishes will be with you each step of the way.

All the best to you,
 
What an inspiration you are. There are quite a few here in VR who have double, triple and more issues that not everyone knows about. For those, you have delivered a very fine message - or perhaps a very good sermon. Bless you for that. We have to be reminded sometimes how well off we are. We are richly blessed by those who care about us. We truly need to live each day and enjoy the blessings that we do have. I pray that your rainbow is just over there.
 
Debbi, I just wanted to let you know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this. I understand how when you have a scare with cancer, it makes the heart thing seem mild. I had a scare several years ago when they found microcalcifications in one of my breasts and I had to have a lumpectomy. It's OK to feel everything you are feeling. I think it's good to acknowledge our feelings. Then we can start to move forward in a more positive direction. I admire your courage and your determination to keep moving forward. Just remember that we're here for your, and I will keep you in my prayers. LINDA
 
Praying for you.

Praying for you.

Hello Deb, please count me as another person praying for you. When I was 6 years old I was struck with polio and paralyzed from the chest down. I don't know why I was given a way out, but I pretty much recovered after 12 years of rehab. It was always described as a miracle by my doctors who had assured my parents that I woulod never walk again. So I know miracles can happen. As you may know, many people who survived childhood polio have suffered relapse after 40-50 years. I will never forget how I felt 40 years later when my doctor told me the symptoms of fatigue and weakness I described might be post-polio syndrome. I was literally so scared that I forgot to breath for a moment. I think this might be what it feels like to be told you have cancer. I was so relieved when I found out these symptoms were not the return of polio, but "only" a bad heart valve that could be fixed with a relatively low risk surgery. There was nothing special about me to deserve the miracle God bestowed on me. I have always drawn encouragement from my "miracle", and I hope you can as well.

I urge you to hang on tight to your faith. There have been so many times when my faith, supplemented with good teaching by my pastor and support from my church propped me up, and kept me away from the edges of despair. I pray you won't feel alone, or be alone, as you face these challenges. Please keep us advised.
 
Thanks

Thanks

Debbi, I"m so grateful for your post. To read it, and how you are facing all this head on is inspiring! As for the good and bad, look at Glenda! You may have noticed I call her "Glenda The Good", and I started calling her that without knowing all her troubles/trials, just a glimpse of her heart. You are a bright articulate woman with a great attitude! I believe that whatever this battle brings for you, you will not lose. You will always have a place in my thoughts and prayers. Brian

Godspeed!
