Sheila, I just got your PM about Greg and I came here, to pray.
For Greg's Soul... for his soul to join our Father. In Jesus name... please pray with me sisters:
A Prayer for the Dying and a Special Soul
O most merciful Jesus,
Lover of souls,
I beseech Thee,
by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart,
and by the sorrows of Thine Immaculate Mother,
wash clean in the Thy Blood
the sinners of the whole world
who are to die this day.
Remember most especially the soul of GREG I spiritually adopt
with the intention of entrusting him to Thy
Shepherd's care:
If it should please Thy Majesty to send me a suffering
this day
in exchange for the grace I ask for this soul,
then, it, too, shall please me very much,
and I thank Thee, Most Sweet Jesus,
Shepherd and Lover of Souls;
I thank Thee for this opportunity to give mercy
in thanksgiving for all the mercies
Thou hast shown me.
Amen.
Heart of Jesus, once in agony,
have mercy on the dying.0 -
Amen and prayers for Greg and his whole family today that they may be filled with the peace of the holy spirit to aid them in this difficult time.
I offered prayers to the Blessed Mother today for all of you here on this thread, on this very special Holy Day! After taking Communion today our music group sang the most wonderful rendition of Ave Maria....it just brought me to tears and reminded me how lucky we are to have Mary to go to.
It also reminded me how blessed we are to experience Motherhood! Prayers to all of your families needs, wants, and support in your sufferings.

Dear All:
Tomorrow morning is my first oncology visit and I'm terrified!!!
I come here and you all are so inspirational with your courage.
This disease has really knocked me for a loop and my head is just spinning! I pray that once I have a treatment plan and all my decisions made that I will find peace and I will do all that is in me, with the help of the Lord and Mary, our Mother, to eradicate this disease from my body.
Please pray I have a good visit and I will keep y'all posted tomorrow.
Good night and GOD BLESS you all!

Shelia, You and Greg will be in my prayers. May you experience peace through all the prayers going up to you and your family. I lost my wonderful daddy in November to esophogial cancer exactly 6 weeks after my BC diagnosis. I do not remember how I made it through my BMX and losing my daddy without the love and prayers of everyone. I was so numb- but I felt God's healing hand and comfort through the very sad time. I remember that me and six of my siblings, our spouses, along with many of daddys grandchildren were in his bedroom as he peacefully went "Home". He had momma in the bed lying right beside him with his beautiful piano music playing. Daddy was a wonderful musician and he taught 11 of his 29 grandchildren piano. God was very merciful to daddy for he did not suffer much. My parents were married for 53 years. We all pray for mom daily to keep her strong. I will keep you in my prayers as well and know I feel for what your are going through. Mary

Again Thank you all so much for your prayers they bring a greater peace than you can know. Greg will still not accept hospice .So tomorrow he may have chemo. I can't take from him what he is unwilling to give now. I know there is a plan and a Guiding hand. I am willing to accept what it is. Laura, thank you for your beautiful prayer. I have been saying the novena each time here. I have no idea what His plan is, it will be seen in retrospect. I pray that we accept it with Grace .
Jan Walk with Him . He will keep the terror from you. We were all there and in retrospect, it is our Faith that helped us the most. Pray whenever you feel the fear coming on. You will soon find how calming to your soul it can be.
There is a story I have told before , but this is especially for you. There is a beautiful person on the nurses thread that told the story of a Himalayan trek in which she observed the Sherpas greeting each other with hands folded as if in prayer. They would then say Namaste. They translated it for her as "I salute the God within you" . Think how powerful that one statement is. It so has grabbed my being that it has become part of my being. WE each have Him within us. He is part of us and will care for us. We each will face what is His will. But we do it with him. Hold Him in your heart. Tommorrow the words you hear, are the beginning of a journey none of us wanted to take. Why us? Why now? Why ever? It will be revealed in time. But hold close to your faith. Your faith will get you through this. Come here each day and pray with all of us. Say the novena each time you come, for yourself and for all those afflicted with this burden. It is very humbling to know that we each are part of something that while horrible when done alone, but if you allow yourself to be part of the whole it is much easier to accept and go forward.
Namaste-I salute the God within You --Sheila

Hi Ladies I wanted to share a prayer I have been praying each day and it had really helped with my peace and I feel so much better. I repeat it several times a day when I am dealing with anxiety and I just feel better so I know it is working. AND...St Jude had always been my Patron Saint.
Prayer of Hope to St. Jude
God of Hope, come to me. Help me to know that your hope is alive in me as I offer kindness, forgiveness, and tenderness, to others. I seek the inner calm that comes from trusting in you. Give me the courage to be aware of your healing presence. May I trust that St. Jude walks with me in times of trouble, and intercedes on my behalf. St. Jude, fill my heart with hope. AMEN
I offer this prayer up for all of you today!

Finally some good news!
I had my first oncology visit today and he told me my breast cancer is 100% cureable. I cried!
I have ILC and am hormone positive with an HER 1+ which he said is negative.
When they find the lymph nodes clear I only need hormone therapy. If positive there is chemo and hormone therapy. Surgery, of course, is a necessity.
With that said, I thank you all for your prayers and wisdom and as long as it is 100% cureable I will do 'whatever it takes'. I have other appointments including a 2nd opinion at DUKE University hospital next week but right now I am as high as a kite with this news.
God Bless you all!

Yippee, Jan!!! That is FABULOUS news! We will pray for CLEAR nodes, my dear!

Clear nodes it is!!!!!!!!!!!
.... Thank you for our day Father. Another chance at life you gave us all. To understand why we haver to endure what we have to with cancer, is not something we can do. We ask that You take all our worry away. As the scripture says... we want to follow. we WANT to rebuke fear... we DO! Please help us in doing this. Our desire is there. Thank you for giving Jan such joy today... please keep her nodes clear of all cancer. We also pray for Greg Father. If he needs hospice.. or his family does... let him see this. I pray for all our ladies here on BCO... their hearts and minds.
We also pray for any newly dx sister. Let her find You in all this... for You are the only savior in this race....
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen!
St. Peregrine, I thank you for always praying for the souls here, on earth, with cancer. For you know just what we have ahead of us. Please continue to pray for us, in front of our Father, Jesus Christ. Thank you!

Hello ladies, I am 57 and have been a catholic all my life. Someone gave me the St. Perigrine prayer upon my caner diagnosis but I didn't realize it as a novena. Prayer and God have carried me much of my life. 2 pre-mature babies with lots of hospitalizations, post -partum depression after my second child, deep venous thrombosis with pulmonary embolism, fibromyalgia and now breast cancer. I just found this thread this evening and you will all be in my prayers as I say the novena and also prayers to God and his Mother. I had a partial mastectomy in June for a cancerous tumor growing in a benign tumor and 29 nodes removed with 24 cancerous. Diagnosis is stage 111C. I am lifting up this disease and all its difficulties for forgivness of my sins and a place in heaven someday. It will make it all worth it! I only hope I am carrying this cross according to His will. Hugs & Prayers, Coleen

Coleen, you share your story with such faith! Thank you.
I was reminded by a great Baptist friend of mine that FEAR is only of the devil. In scripture, it is told that we need to REBUKE fear... as it is only from the evil one. If we have fear still, we are not in full trust of God. Our God.
I liked how she and I talked together and shared our same faith.. that faith in the trinity.
God Bless all of you sisters...
I will be gone for about a week from here. Dh and I are taking vacation. I hope one of you will begin the novena to St. Peregrine and share it as a group on here... keep praying and helping eachother.
XXXOOO
Sheila... I pray you are doing ok. Dealing with this... must be horrific. I pray for your heart!

Ladies,
Madonna Kirk.... Mother to Rockwell_girl( Sandy/Sunshine) on BCO, has colon cancer..:(
She was DX about a month ago...
If anyone starts the Novena on here while I am gone... PLEASE add this lady to it.
I also ask... as you read this.. you ask our Father to heal Madonna Kirk. To help her go through the treatments. She is not young.. and chemo will be hard on her.
Thank you ladies..!

Hello all,
I am just amazed and touched at the beautiful fellowship and inspiration here. It's where I need to be. Well, Last Wed. I ended up in the ER and had to get my rt. lung drained of 2 ltrs. of fluid. Not fun. Yesterday I met w/RAD Dr. and got back PATH from effusion testing and it was negative Amen & I believe it was due to RADS (& too much Vicodin)...but now Dr. wants a PET to see if there are any chestwall tumors leaking to cause the fluid retention. I can not comprehend a postive scan. I don't have a Onc.. as I'm in transition of ins. Please Lord...let my PET be okay..the devil is really working on this anxiety.
Thank you 3M for that lovely prayer. I really need to pray that over and over.
Thank you Laura for your beautiful Novena for all of us and continuting to pray for each person in need. I am also keeping Taylor in my prayers. Have a great vacation!
Jan: Amen clear nodes! The Lord is with you and so are we.
Sas: You and your DH Greg are in my thoughts and prayers. May the strength of the Holy Spirit guide you and sustain you during this difficult road.
Colleen: Welcome. Your story is incredible. Blessings to you to stay strong. The hair is a hard one to deal with. (I lost mine twice) but it grows back very quickly. Try to experiment w/scarves & wigs.
Dear Lord: Continue to hold us close in your hand and give all of strength during our trials. In Jesus' we pray. Amen.

Thank you 3M for your prayers. Bless you. They certainly help. I've been stressing about my upcoming PET AND new wierd lump I just discovered...No I am no longer in the study @ UCLA. I went 5 rounds and per my last 2 CT's, I was clear. My WBC had started to dip so the onc. decided it would be best to go on to RADS and save that chemo if I needed to. (Let's hope not!) I will definitley keep you posted.
Continuing the Novena and prayers for everyone on BCO. Sas & DH, Colleen, Jan & Madonna K. In Jesus' name. Amen
