Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone would mind saying a prayer for a dear friend of mine. I am currently working at a private church preschool here in Georgia and recently one of my co-workers and friend found out that she has cancer. She is an amazing person who is very involved in the community and her three young children.

The doctors have put her on very intense radiation five times a week and three strong doses of chemo. After almost five weeks of radiation and two doses of chemo she is really starting to struggle and wants to stop treatment, but the doctors feel that her treatments are working and if she gets through this the outcome is promising.

So, if anyone would mind just sending out a prayer for her that she can find strength to get through the next few weeks. She could really use it!

Thank you for letting me take the time to share!

Thank you all for helping me out with prayers! Her name is Brenda.

Thanks, Christy

Hi Christy,

I am sorry to hear about Brenda and her struggle with radiation and chemo. Brenda is in my thoughts and prayers.

As a kidney cancer survivor, I know how hard it is for Brenda and I hope she finds the strength and will to carry on her treatments and especially since she has a promising outcome.

Brenda needs a lot of support at this time and I'm sure she has many many supporters including the MM family.

Just a thought......... Brenda might want to talk to a clinician supporter/advocate who can help her through the tough times as they relate to treatment.  Perhaps there is something that can help her such as a specific drug.  I'm not a clinician but I have been down the road Brenda is currently traveling and I found that a clinician supporter/advocate was of tremendous help and I finally found the strength to be of a positive mindset.  I believe a positive attitude is everything with cancer.  Brenda has to believe she can and will beat this.

Please let Brenda know she is in my thoughts and prayers and that we are all cheering her on. If there is anything I can do to help Brenda, don't hesitate to let me know.

Hugs,

Lore

Thank you everyone that has had Brenda in their thoughts and prayers! I know that she is very grateful. One of the other teachers at the preschool are printing out emails and taking them to the hospital to read to her so I sent one to her sharing some of your comments.

Right now she is still in the hospital because she still cant keep things down and is in a lot of pain. They are still giving her the radiation treatments (she has 11 more to go) but may have to postpone her last dose of chemo until she is a little bit more stablized. The [u]good[/u] news is that originally they found three cancerous tumors in her neck but a few days ago the doctor checked and said that he could no longer feel any of them!!!

Thank you all very much for listening and responding! It is such an amazing feeling knowing that you always have friends to talk to. Thank you with all my heart!!!

Lore, thank you for your advice and I will definatly pass it on to Brenda!

Love, Christy
