    Thanks footprintangel and Rocket for your prayers. This was my second day after my treatment, I am feeling really tired and hunger from the steriods. But was able to get some sleep today. I feel good just tired.



    Thank You Jesus for another day and for all your blessings, it is so good to be in the arms of our Lord. Lord please bless footprintangel and Rocket for their unselfishness and their encouragement. I lift them up to you along with all our sisters on this site that are going through, and ask your blessings upon their lives. I ask this in the name of our precious Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for this beautiful spring day, and all of the hope and renewal that spring brings! It is truly a testament to how you see us through each and every season. Thank you for giving us each other to lean on, love, and support. We were never meant to go through things alone, and I thank you for bringing us together. You are an amazing God, and with you all things are possible!

    In Your Name,

    Amen

    Love,

    Brandi

    When I got ill friends of all religions asked me if they could pray for me, I told them thanks, some ask convents to also pray.

    My Parish was going to have a laying of the Oils, for non Roman Catholics, in the old days it was the last Sacrament we get before we die.

    I went , it was a Mass for the sick and after all the priests and bishops started to bless with the oils, when my time came, the father blessed me with the Holy Oils, his hands on my head and started praying and another 2 joined and I felt at peace, I was crying , happy, I knew all was going to be well. After that , I did not have any thoughts of dying or negative.

    I believe in the power of pray,when there is a crisis, I pray in the small altar I have with my Saints and the photos of my  departed loved ones, and it helps me.

    April 17 I am 20 years from diagnosis, but I do let my guard down, it can change overnight.

    The good Lord bought me through another day, thank you Jesus. This is my third day since my first Taxol treatment. Only SE's so far is hunger, and tiredness, thank you Jesus



    Lord thank you for the prayers of my sisters. Dreaming I too believe that prayer heals and without my faith I would be totally lost, in more ways than one. I pray that the peace of our Father continues to keep you positive and looking only to Him. policewife84, Rocket, and footprintangel may God's light shine upon you, and keep all of us wrapped in His Holy arms. Lord we love You and only want to do your will. Please keep us and give us peaceful sleep this night. In the name of Jesus Amen.

    Nfranklin,

    I am so glad to hear that your feeing okay - the first couple of days are the worst! Just make sure you stay well hydrated and get plenty of rest - try not to over do it.:) Hang in there Sweetie!

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    I come to you tonight full of thanks and wonder - wonder in awe of your mercy, grace, and healing. There are days when we are so weak, so tired, and yet we carry on, wrapped in your arms, safe, and loved. Lord, when we feel like we can't carry on or go another step, put our focus on you, and give us the strength to put on foot in front of the other. Lord, thank you for all of the gifts that you continually give us - from negative test results, to clear scans, we owe it all to you. Thank you for loving me as I am, tired and all - shine your light through me Lord, and work through me, so that others may see your glory. Please be with everyone facing the challenges of breast cancer and other ailments - remind them that they are in your care, always and forever.

    In your Name, Amen

    Love,

    Brandi

    Thank you Lord Jesus for getting us through another day, taking us out and getting us back safely.  I know it was only you leading and directing my life today, dear Lord, and it gave me immense pleasure to follow your calling.  You are an awesome and mighty God and I praise your name.  For all you do, seen and unseen, I thank you.  Without you I don't know what life would be but I do know that with you nothing is impossible.

    Please continue to help Barbiecorn Lord. She is Your servant and I ask that You would help her with the struggles that she faces. Provide Your gentle healing touch to her Father.

    Hi Ladies!

    I hope everyone had a wonderful day full of God's grace! My husband and I were in church this morning, and we started singing a song that spoke to me in so many ways. I'm not sure of the name of it, but the chorus was this, " Come Awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave, our God is not dead, he's alive, he's alive!" It was such an uplifting song, full of promise and hope. Hope that we know that God gave his son for us - to forgive us our sins and let us enter his eternal kingdom. What and exciting thought!

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Please do not let us lose sight of your ultimate gift - the gift of your Son. I know there are days where it is all we can do to get up and get dressed because we are so weak and tired. Let us put our worries and trust in you, Lord. I lift all of my sisters up in prayer to you - that you will guide those facing medical /treatment decisions, comfort those who are battling the side effects of treatment, and support those who are so weak and fatigued, that small daily tasks seem impossible. Lord, wrap your loving arms around my friends, and hold them close. Let them feel your warmth, comfort, and presence. In Your Name, Amen.

    Love,

    Brandi

    My pastor shared this with me earlier this week - I was having a bit of a rough day. He said, "When you find you are at the end of your rope, reach for the hem of his garment."I thought it was very fitting - perfect for those icky days when you're exhausted & nothing seems to go as planned!:)

    Thank you Lord for another day.  Lord I am so tired tonight, please give me peaceful sleep.  I lift my sisters to you tonight, please let them find peaceful sleep and rest, and let them overcome any SE's they may have.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.

    My day:

    This morning was good full of energy no other apparent SE's. Could not eat or drink anything before fasting blood specimen at 12:45 today at the hospital. Took fruit, nuts, and oat bar and juice to eat after blood is taken. Had bone density test no pain at all 1:30pm, one of the easiest test. Visited with my MO 4pm, discussed the port. I really have only one good vein and they have had to stick me twice each time to put the IV in, he said that was not good so we are talking about the port sooner than later. Came home sneezing and with a runny nose, around 4:30 pm after sitting in a cold waiting room, and oh so tired again, all my energy is GONE, used up in the waiting room of the hospital. I am hoping for energy in the morning, I want to go grocery shopping, so my DH will not have to, even though he doesn't mind at all, but I like to grocery shop sometimes, it's been almost 2 months since I got to grocery shop all on my own.

    I am ready for bed can hardly keep my eyes open, don't want to go to bed too early, because I will probably wake up in the wee wee hours of the morning and can't go back to sleep.

    Have a good night every one.

    Hi Ladies,

    Today is a rough day! :( I am so very anxious about my oncology appointment this afternoon - they are doing more blood work to check my anemia and neutropenia, and I am praying an iron infusion isn't in my future. I have felt really worried the last couple of days - I just have a feeling something is not quite right, and I just can't put my finger on it. I'm praying it's just a case of unwelcome anxiety! I hope everyone is hanging in there!  Dear nfranklin, rest when you are tired.:) I know how you want to get things done, (I am the same way!) but just rest. Your body is going through a lot right now! Find a good book, a warm sunny spot (SPF, of course!) and relax.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    I come to you this morning full of anxiety and worry surrounding my appointment this afternoon. Remind me Lord, that I was in your care before I was even born, and that I have nothing to worry over. Help me to realize that you are in control, and that no amount of fretting or worrying is going to make me feel any better! Lord, please be with my sisters here, as we all face uncertainty and anxiety. Give us the gift of peace, Lord. In your name, Amen.

    Love,

    Brandi

    I will post an update this evening - thanks for all of your prayers; friends. My heart is warmed when I think of the love of Jesus and compassion we share.
