Here I am again....asking for prayers

Post by Carol Arnett »

I just heard that my sister, Nancy, has cancer...in one lung, her adoman and liver. That is what they have found in 3 days. She is the one who`s husband, Sonny had such rampant cancer and then was cured of most of it. He told me tonight that he has been vomiting a lot and has been in the bed for the past 15 days. These are not people who give up easily. He was crying so hard that I could barely understand him tonight, tho. Nancy is his life and vice versa.

In addition to the cancer she also has diabetes, a heart condition, high BP, and renal failure. She has veen on oxygen 24 hours a day for about a year and has been getting Procrit infusions for about that long. I don`t understand why they hadn`t found the cancer before this. From what he said, I doubt she comes home from the hospital. She and I were the main caregivers of our mother when she was dying. They live in WV.

I haven`t been on for awhile because of various things and hate coming on asking a favor, but I know a lot of you have as much faith in prayer as I.

I hope that everyone who has been having problems are doing better and those of you how have been doing well are still doing so.

I found out 2 1/2 weeks ago that my Thyroid was not functioning as well as it should and am on Synthroid. I have been having some of the same problems as Barbara although not as severe. I sure feel badly for her.

I have, however, gone back to work and it is like a foreign land after being off for six months.

Thank you all in advance for your caring and thoughtfulness. I love you all. Carol

-
I am so very sorry for all that you and your family are going thru---

Nancy is in our prayers----

I am posting this----from a passage I read in a card---it says it all

I feel inside of me
the sadness in your heart
And my eyes,too fill with tears--
cus I know how U feel and because I cherish U so very much and feel so close by your side----

If only I could--
I would right the sorrows and make the days brighter
All I have to offer is my love and to remind U that U are not alone
My hand to hold and to help ---
My strength will walk besides you and your family---
----------------------------------------------------------------
We all come here for support ---and prayers---so dont ever feel asking for a word or 2 is imposing~~~~

Hope Harry is doing well---and once again---we are all here for U and anyone that needs a shoulder to lean on--
And with all that is piled ontop of your family--U think of all of us and ME---with my thyroid--see how important everything is---thyroid is starting to balance---feeling better each day---thank U for kind thoughts--

love U dear Carol

Hi Carol,

I'm sorry to hear such bad news, but of course we will do our part to try to help.

I hope the Synthroid helps you to feel better.

Love,
Tex

My prayers are added to the prayer chain. Don't ever feel bad for asking for help - that's what we are here for.

Lots of love and hugs,
Mars

Carol,
That surely is a "mountain" of problems to face and I'm really sorry so much has happened to you and your family in such a short time.

I will certainly be thinking of them and you.
