How beautiful, Marty. Thank you. I will say it every day. I begin each morning by saying the Shema and thanking God for all of my blessings and ask for blessings for everyone near and dear to me, not the least of which is this group. Hope you are doing better.

I am also sending you a very special prayer. You just hang in there because there are a lot of people that are praying for you including me. Always try to think about those two numbers I always send out 18's to you Peg, Marty A PATIENT’S PRAYER Eternal GOD, source of healing, out of my distress Icall upon you. Help me to sense your presence at this difficult time. You havealready sent me gifts of your goodness: The skill of my physician, the concernof others who help me, the compassion of those I love, and who love me. I pray that I may be worthy of all these, today and inthe days to come. Help me to banish all bitterness; let not despair overcomeme. Grant me patience when the hours are heavy; give me courage whenever thereis hurt or disappointment. Keep me trustful in your love, O GOD. Give me strengthfor today, and hope for tomorrow. To your loving hands I commit my spirit whenasleep and when awake. You are with me; I shall not fear. Help me, O GOD, in mytime of need.

It would appear, after further consideration, that the lesions seen in both my lungs since August could actually be lung cancer. What the heck??!! This would be the fourth primary, unrelated cancer in three years time! CML and Melanoma in 2010, Gastric Tumor in 2013 (but first seen in retrospect in early 2011)....and now this! We haven't even figured out how to get to the Gastric Tumor yet. I thought we finally reached a good plan for that last month, but this would definitely be a game changer. Looks like the only way they can get a solid answer is going to be with some major surgery....which is the reason that we hadn't been able to get the Gastric Tumor out. Serious health and recovery issues aside for a moment, the down time for major is surgery is an obsticle that could leave my husband and I homeless with no where to turn to. And on top of that, during my hospitalization/recovery there is no one to help my husband, who has brain damage, care for himself...he just can't be in the house alone. Of course....if we no longer have a house....sorry just a bit of dark humor! Lots of questions still, but no answers yet! Think I need a hug! peg -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
