I’m going to spend the Easter weekend with my mother. I’m leaving it to petronski to ping all of our friends on FR. I don’t remember everyone’s FR screenname because I’ve not had my morning coffee yet. I’m doing well and the only time I cry is when I feel the wrong person won God’s lottery. Then again, if not my mother then someone else’s loved one.

I told petronski I was debating whether to post this but my mother needs all the prayers, good thoughts, vibes,etc. she can get. The conventional medical treatment is ‘rigorous’ and downright insane (heated chemotherapy applied to directly to her internal organs!) because of the nature of this cancer. I wonder if the doctors are so open to alternative medical/herbal/complementary help because they actually believe or because there’s no hope for her.

I do believe God is a God of miracles. I do believe in the pwoer of the human mind and that there are a lot of things we’re all going to learn through this experience.

I’ll be praying for your mom, cyborg, and that God will give you the strength and courage to walk this path with her.

I’d never heard of this, so I read a couple short descriptions...said people can and do survive this and go on to lead productive lives.

Praying that for your mother.

Lord,

Help your servant Cynthia in her suffering.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

They must believe the treatment will work. We've found that medical doctors are not willing to try a treatment unless they believe there is hope.

Remember to stay informed. (WebMD is a good resource.) Keep your hope alive. Thoughts and prayers are coming your way.
