Life goes on

It is with a heavy heart that I say, "The cancer is back." The CT scan showed an increase in size of some lymphnodes and nodules on my lungs. The positive part is that it returned in the same locations and there were not dramatic changes in size. SOOOO, I am scheduled to begin chemo in 3 weeks. Ugh.

Now we wait to find out about my brain. But before that, I have 2 little boys who are very excited that we are about to fill water balloons. I might get wet.

So sorry to read this and to hear this from Dave earlier. Praying that Monday's news is good. We'll miss you guys this weekend, but you will be in our prayers, as always.

Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear that you have to go through chemo again. You've been on my mind all day today. Please know that I'm here for you and your family - just call and I'll be right over. We'll be praying even harder for Monday's test. Love you!

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or pray that you feel God's love and comfort. God is in control and never gives us more than we can handle. We'll continue to keep you in our prayers.

Grace and Peace,
Peg

Barb,
This website has been so encouraging to me. I know that it is hard to express yourself when you aren't feeling good. My eyes are constantly bothering and aching. But by the Grace of God, you have perservered. Did you ever think of the energy and strength Jesus took to speak his last words on the cross. You have proven the theory that if you can do it then so can I.

May the Lord be with you and your family.

God Bless,
Rob

I know this is definitly not how you wanted to spend the summer, at least your hair won't get all sticky and annoying, at least one bright spot to chemo and humidity

I was so discouraged to read this, Barb, but keep the faith and know that so many people are touched by your honesty. I'm praying for you as always!

Barb,

I am so sorry to hear all this. I was so hoping for a good report, which I know you were hoping for as well. I wish that I were there to help out- take the boys, bring meals, etc. Love you so much and am sending prayers and hugs your way.
