I received a FRmail tonight from Freeper kayak regarding a health issue that her doctors have discovered. Some of you, apparently, are already aware of this. I DO have her permission to put this thread up. She will not be on here to respond as she's still working and will be starting treatments.
Anyway, from kayak....Several weeks ago as part of my routine annual physical I had a chest x-ray. When it came back showing some suspicious shadows, the doc ordered a CT scan which also showed the shadows. So last week I had a bronchoscopy and got the results on Monday.
I have lung cancer. The good news is that of the 2 kinds I have the least aggressive kind and it can usually be removed surgically. The bad news is that because of the location of the cancer it can't be gotten to surgically without doing damage to parts I need.
So I'm facing a regimen of chemo and radiation probably. Monday I have an appointment with an oncologist to begin planning how we're going to attack this thing.
Please PLEASE pray for kayak!!!
Dear Lord God, our hearts are heavy tonight with this news from kayak. She is a dear lady who loves you with all of her heart. Thank you for giving her so VERY many prayer warriors, thank you for giving her a WONDERFUL husband who has been nothing but 100% supportive of her.
Lord, I pray for a "Logan Miracle". Lord, please heal her body. Please guide the medical personnel who will be helping her through this. Please give her YOUR peace. Peace that passes all understanding.
In Your Name,
Amen!
OMG! He's half grown already.

Prayers continuing for you, my friend.
Wanted to let you all know what’s going on in Mama’s world these days. Mama has completed her first round of chemo but has elected not to continue with that treatment because it has weakened her considerably. That was the final treatment option available to her, so the choice that has now been made is to let the disease run its course. In the meantime, we are trying to make sure Mama is as comfortable as is possible, and to embrace her with the warmth of our love as much as we can.
Mama is at peace with the decision she and Daddy have made; after all, she knows what will happen to her next, where she will go and Who she will be with once she dies.
Her body is quite weak and she is in quite a bit of pain, but her mind remains strong and her spirit seems, to me, to be considerably stronger and happier than I’ve seen in several weeks. She and Daddy celebrate the joy of life each day.
This weekend, my brother and I have brought our families down to love on Grandma. My brother has brought his new son to show off to Mama, so she has finally gotten to meet both of the new grandchildren. It’s a houseful this weekend, loud and raucous, but I like to think that even though it might be a little wearying for Mama with all this untamed ENERGY around, she’s enjoying all six grandkids and the life and joy that children bring to all of us.
If you would, keep Mama in your prayers. If nothing else, please pray that God will comfort her and ease her pain. Emotionally, I think she’s doing pretty OK. But physically, she has a good bit of pain, and I would appreciate your continued prayers for her, and particularly that her pain be relieved.
Mama doesn’t get to the computer much any more, so I don’t know that she will be able to reply to each of you, but she wanted me to share an update of her situation with you. If someone would please copy this post to ATRW for me, I’d be much obliged. If you would like to send Mama a card, please message me privately, and I will let you know how to get in touch with Mama via snail mail.
Love to all of you, from Mama and from me.
Sorry, Mama, meant to ping you on that update. :)
Continued prayers for your health.

thank you for the update Poppyseed. Please know that we here all pray for your family for peace - for comfort & for relief from Pain for mom...
The saga of life is full of much joy but full also of much pain with the changes that occur in time. I know this is difficult for all of you & please keep us posted & give mom a cyber hug from me..
Prayers up!
May the Lord be present with your family, and may your mom be filled with the Love of Jesus.
Will your mama be able to have hospice care? They control the pain and are sooooooooo good in helping the patient and the family transition once the patient is ready to depart our earthly world. Hospice helped two people we knew well. It’s miraculous what they do for everyone involved. God bless your beloved mother. Can understand her reluctance to continue chemo...she knows it’s better to have the quality time with her family than to hang on with the side effects of chemo. Happy Easter to you all...God bless you all and peaceful, calm journey for your dear mom.
Prayers continue for dear kayak and her family.
Please send her our love and I will pray poppyseed,Fatima
Prayers continue for your mom.
And: Here’s hoping your entire family has a blessed Easter together.
