Adding my to the others. Yes, your mom has a great outlook.

I've been getting on so sporadically the past few weeks, that I've only just seen this, Annarchy.

I am so sorry to hear that your sisters' cancer has returned. But, on the flip side, I am so grateful that she has seen essential relationships repaired, her daughter restored to her, and her grandchildren bringing joy and contentment to her life and her home.

It's such an example of how great our Lord is -- that he can bring great goodness and happiness from even the most difficult situation. I'm glad that her cloud has been overwhelmed by the silver lining of a restored and happy family.

I will be in prayer for her, and for you. Cancer is one of the most dreadful of diseases, and I am so sorry that she is having to endure its ravages. Seeing one you love go through it is almost as hard.

[Annarchy]

Thank you all for your prayers.

They sent her to the Cancer Centers of America in Ill. After more testing and chemo, she is heading home for a month and will return for more chemo next month. They have given her hope, maybe another year. If the chemo works, she might go into remission.

Again, thank you for remembering her in your prayers.

These kinds of stuggles always seem to put our own in perspective. God, spread Your healing balm over everyone close to this dear woman who is fighting this disease. Give docs wisdom and the treatments Your power.

October's treatment did not go well. After a brief stay in the hospital with fluids, they sent her home to recover the soft tissue burns. She could hardly talk for a couple of weeks.

November's treatments had worse effects. She is still hospitalized. They are trying to help her recover from the soft tissue chemo burns... and trying to build up her bone marrow back up again...




Trying to stay strong....

I will continue to keep your sister in my prayers. May God ease her pains and speed her healing.

[Jeepers]

I'm so sorry your sister is going through this.
Continued prayers for her and your entire family.

[CLee]

Praying for her and for you too. It's rough to see a loved one go through something like this and not be able to help them.

[snapshotmiki]

OH dear.

[TurtleMama]

I wish I could give you a real hug, honey... but this will have to do...

I'm so sorry that your sister is going through this....please tell her she's being lifted up by SO many people here.

[Becca_Anne]

So sorry to hear this sending more prayers!

[MomM]

(((((Annarchy))))) Praying for you all.

[Annarchy]

Thank you so very much for your prayers for her.

Tho I could hardly understand her when she called yesterday, due to the sores in her mouth, she said the Doctors found she had an infection and started an antibiotic drip and suggested if they can get that under control, she may be able to go home Wednesday.

December's treatment, put her in the hospital again, severely ill. She spent an additional week in the hospital receiving bone marrow treatments, before being sent home. At home, she continued to get worse, went to her Dr., spent more time in the hospital because the port they put in had a MRSA infection. That caused the Cancer Treatment Center to cancel her appointment for further treatments, until it was cleared up.

She went back the end of January. Returning home, this happened:


Jet returns to O'Hare after hitting bird
http://www.redeyechi...orhood/kenwood/

A United Airlines flight taking off from O’Hare International Airport had to turn around after hitting a bird this afternoon, according to authorities.

United spokesman Charlie Hobart said a bird hit United flight 643 about 3:20 p.m. shortly after departing for Portland, Ore., causing the pilot to make the decision to turn around.

“The flight landed safely and without incident,’’ Hobart said.

None of its 134 passengers and five crew was injured and the aircraft was taken out of service while another airbus A320 took the passengers to their destination, Hobart said.

Chicago Fire Department spokesman Will Knight said crews had been called for a "stand-by" along the runway at the airport until the emergency was secured as of 4 p.m. and no injuries were reported.

Hobart said it was not known immediately what area of the aircraft the bird came in contact with and said maintenance crews are examining the plane.

The jet returned on runway 28, according to a recorded message from the Federal Aviation Adminitration's Elizabeth Isham Cory.

Her description was 'there was a large boom that took out one of the engines, the pilots circled so low over Lake Michigan she could see the ripples in the water. As soon as they landed, all the passengers applauded the pilots for landing safely.'


Soooo, she made it home safely and let me know, her diagnosis is horrible. The cancer has spread into her bones, liver and she has a large tumor in her lungs. They informed her, remission is not possible, but treatments may make her feel better.

Her DH will be unemployed by mid month, due to his age. The company he works for got bought out and they are replacing the older employees.

I do not know what else to say.

Oh dear, that is such hard news. There are no words to comfort, nothing to take away the pain.
Let us just hold your hand and wrap our arms around you, your sister and your families.
