Jo: Thank you God! That is wonderful news. Thanks for sharing your miracle with us.
Glad you are better too. I had the stomach virus last week too and I was sicker than I ever was with chemo. It was awful!

I felt good today went shopping for some food. Eating small meals can't eat big ones. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Just came across this thread and thought I would introduce myself:
I was diagnosed with IDC on 1/13/2011, lumpectomy on 1/27 and started chemo on 2/24. I had my second round of TCH yesterday.
I'm 35 and I have been married for 16 years. We have four living children (DD 14, DS 11 & twin DS 6) and one DD when moved to heaven after a household drowning accident in 2003.
God's grace has been bigger than anything we have lived through this far and God's grace is bigger than BC!
I'll need to read through the thread some to get acquainted with everyone here. So glad to have stumbled across this thread!

Pej sorry you are having to join us here. You are so right that God's grace is bigger than us. I also had a DS moved to Heaven in 1995. It was God's grace that carried me through all of that. And now with BC it is again God's grace. Hang in there and these threads are a great place for support and information. And we all whin at times and that is OK too.
JO paise the Lord on your new grandbaby.
Lynn-woohoo for getting out and going shopping
Off to Church this morning and then lunch with some friends. God is Good

Ladies, I got bad news on my path report. They found cancer cells in my omentum, so I'm considered Stage 3, which sucks. I don't really know much more than that and that I'll be doing more chemo. I already had an appt with my med on for April 4 and he said we'd talk more then. He said I can go ahead and get my implant exchange next week, that I'd heal from that before we needed to move on with more treatment.
What do they say, if God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it. I believe that. I'm just bummed out tonight. Love you ladies and keep praying, for us all.

Hi Ladies! Just checking in!
Lady--I am so, so sorry to hear the path report. The thought of giong through chemo again was one of the hardest parts of my 2nd cancer dx. But at least I knew what to expect, and so did my family. And, yes, God was with me every step of the way. I have been able to show people my faith through this and I hope some are rethinking their relationship with God (or lack of relationship!). My own relationship with my Lord has definitely grown and matured, and for that I feel blessed! I will keep you in my prayers!
Lynn--happy to hear some good news from you. I hope you are doing ok with chemo!
Ladies, God's glory is being revealed through you! Never forget that! And God's love NEVER FAILS. (Do a search for "unfailing love" at a Bible website [I sometimes use Biblegateway.com]. I was amazed at how many times God mentions His unfailing love in His word!)
Blessings!

Jo--Thanks for sharing that wonderful praise report about your Great granddaughter!
My dd and sil are still in the Ukraine. They have been meeting with their "son" (not official yet!) everyday and getting to know him. He is happy and enjoys their visits. He's more itelligent than they expected--he catches on to little games quickly--like "peek-a-boo" He is 3.5 and has down syndrome. He'll be here with us permanently mid-April. He'll need heart surgery and lots and lots of physical therapy! The hospital in Kiev refuses to correct his heart problem because they do not value his life like we do here. Very sad. But the orphanage he is at gives him the best care they know how, and the nannys give him lots of love. They were suprised at how much he has grown in the last year, and my dd told them that's because he's had a momma praying for him!

Hi Ladies doing good. Second chemo on Wednesday. I am doing cross stitch for my social worker it keeps me busy

Ladies: The prayers are working! Long story short, I met with the gyn onc this afternoon for a post-op and he and my med onc had put their heads together. He is going to do more surgery. He's removing my entire omentum (only a portion was removed in last surgery and it was the only thing that had cancer in it). So he says they think we're dealing with "early Stage 3" (an oxymoron, I know), but IF there's not a lot more cancer in the whole omentum after it comes out, they are acutally using the "c" word: Cure! They think it's a possibility with more surgery and another round of chemo. I was flying when I left there! The down side is the new surgery can't be done laproscopically, so I'll have a 4-inch long abdominal incision and a longer recovery (up to 6 weeks, ouch), but I'm ready! Surgery is next Wed. They'll piggy back with my plastic surgeon. I was already on the schedule for my implant exchange, so the PS will do his part and then the gyn onc will do his part, I'll stay in the hospital one, possibly two, nights. I'm so psyched. I can't tell you ladies how much I appreciate your prayers and encouraging words. You rock!
PS I'm being lazy and copying and pasting this same post on a couple more threads, so you may run across this again

Just arrived home from special we had a visiting preacher who didn't know what I was going through God lad it on his heart to pray for me.

Jo, I haven't checked in this thread in a while and what a miracle baby! Our church had almost the same miracle about 18 yrs ago when our preacher's daughter was pregnant with her third baby and they said she would be a down's syndrome baby. We had a season of prayer for her and annointed the mother, the baby was born perfect. She is now graduating high school and planning on going to nursing school and be a nurse missionary in Kenya.

I was looking out the church Sunday at the wind blowing very strongly through the tops of the trees and the Lord said that He was going to blow through my life. Monday I had a mammogram, it came back suspcious, and then sonogram with needle biopsy. The radiologist who did the biopsy on Monday said to expect CA, and I got the news Tuesday that it was. God doesn't cause cancer, but I am grateful to be going through this voyage, He taught me why He allows suffering and I am grateful that at least some of my questions have been answered. Blessings and hugs to all.
