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!
God bless her — and you and your family as well. You will be in my prayers this Easter season.
Poppy, your Mom and your family will be remembered in my every prayer. I prayed for her this Easter morning in church.
May the strength of the Lord Jesus sustain all of you.
Prayers for you and yours!
I do know this, God will surround you when you think it is too much and HE will lift it from you.
Be at peace dear kayak, you've done a magnificent job with the life God gave you.
Prayers for you, dear one. May doctors ease your pain and God give you peace. We all love you and yearn for a miracle.
That you have comfort in your decision is a blessing, and now you know your way is clear.
I'm so glad for your wonderful family and their abiding love and presence right now. They are your proudest joy and proof of your skilled handiwork and loving hand.
I pray God's mercy, releasing you from pain, and filling your days with happiness and that peace that passes all understanding.
God be with you, to comfort and guide you.
Do not be afraid of tomorrow; for God is already there. ~Author Unknown
Prayers continuing - for strength and a lessening of pain.
God Bless You Kayak.
May God’s will be done and may His blessings and peace be with you and the family during this time.
Can you please remind her of “Day 4” and the marquee command? :)

done, poppy. Our best to kayak.
Continued prayers for you and your family. God Bless!
You and your families will be added to my prayers. May the Lord embrace you with his loving arms and surround you with lots of love during this very difficult time in your lives.
I know she will be getting the best of all pain management because of her caring family.
God Bless all of you on this Easter Day, but I can't stop the tears after reading your post. The LOVE we leave behind is all that really matters in our Journey. There is treasure trove of LOVE for kayak, and your wonderful family on FR..

HE LIVES
Words and music: Alfred H. Ackley, 20th cent.
1. I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today;
I know that He is living, whatever men may say.
I see his hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
and, just the time I need Him, He’s always near.
Refrain
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
2. In all the world around me I see His loving care,
And tho’ my heart grows weary, I never will despair.
I know that He is leading thro’ all the stormy blase;
The day of His appearing will come at last.
Refrain
3. Rejoice, rejoice, O Christians, lift up your voice and sing
eternal halelujahs to Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find,
None other is so loving, so good and kind.
Refrain
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
