I have wanted to post something about one of my close friends Cori who is dying of Stage 4 Carcinosarcoma over the last year. She has gone through 4 rounds of chemo over the last 12 months and is now doing a new treatment and chemo as tumors grew during the last treatment.
She is 37, married with 2 children and is hands down one of the most giving and kindest souls you would ever meet. This new treatment she is doing is really whacking her worse than any of the other treatments she has done in the past and the doctors are saying the options are now limited to pro-long life.
She is a born again Christian who attends a cowboy church just outside of Dallas and is a good Conservative soul as well.
Please take time to pass along her link and visit her facebook page if you have the time. We honestly don't know how much longer she has...could be weeks...could be months...just right now all of the prayers and support that you can bring to this young woman would be greatly appreciated.
Medical bills have put the family $250,000 in debt and they have downsized to a 910 sq ft pad to live in....things are very tight and on top of each other so it is difficult to fully relax and recover post-chemo as you can imagine. She owned a number of animals and has had to get rid of them (horses, dogs, goats) because she can't afford to feed them on a daily basis any longer and this has taken a huge chunk of her daily happiness right from her.
Please visit the site when you get a minute...thank you and God Bless.

FReeper PRayer BUmp!
I’d seriously suggest using the Internet and telephone to find as many “Hail Mary” late stage cancer therapy experiments going on right now.
Some of them are showing amazing results with very advanced metastasized cancers even. You might have to drive her for 72 hours to get to one, but it could be all the difference in the world.
Find them on the Internet and call them on the phone.
Prayer BUMP
I watched a very brave and amazing little girl slowly die of neuroblastoma. She was 7 years old. She was tougher than the toughest Marine and fought death until the last breath. I’ll never forget times where she was dancing around me like children do when playing. I’ll never forget seeing her tiny little body in a much too large casket the day she was buried.
Watching such a wonderful child die was something hard to get my mind around. I thought and prayed about “why did she die?” Why did she leave? I thought of all the things that she would never get to do. Things she would never see or experience. Why did G-d take her? The only answer that I could come up with was that sometimes He takes the special ones home to Him early. Too soon from where we are standing at. Why? I can’t say. The answer to that question is beyond any of us. I believe someday I will know the answer. I also believe that she is dancing and playing somewhere lovely and beautiful. She is happy and no longer feels the horrible pain. And she knows the answer to all questions and is in His arms.
Prayers for your friend. My G-d be with them.
Praying for her. I don’t have FB but definitely let her know that many are holding her up in prayer here in Los Angeles.
My sister just had a double mastectomy and has stage 3 cancer.
We ask our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to lay His healing hand upon her. Give her peace and assurance that by trusting in His Love that everything will work to good for those that love the Lord. Amen.
