Please pray for freeper Shimmer1 as she continues to undergo treatments.
Here is the message I received from her last night:
I’m very weak tonight. I just got up from another nap. Chemo this week (wednesday) made me so weak, I’m using a wheelchair when I go to hyperbaric treatment.
I cry at the drop of a hat. Now even sitting isn’t helping much. Usually when I sit for a while, or lie down, I recover. Now just movement exhausts me. The movement of walking six feet and lying down is enough to make me moan with exhaustion for probably ten minutes. You ought to see my typing before I correct it!!
I think i can’t make it. SEVEN MORE WEEKS OF THIS????? But I must, because that aggressive, deadly cancer must have every chance of being killed off. I really am exhausted, coming into my house makes me so tired that I’m almost nauseated. But I must go on. I had been so psyched, thinking I had only one more cycle of three weeks (plus next week) making four weeks more. Then dr said he counted and I had two more cycles. (plus next week) Pray for me please!
I really need my children and grandchildren around and I have none around me. In fact, no one is around me. Can she do it????????? C’mon!! CAN SHE DO IT??????? TELL ME YES!
Oh dear! Thank you very much, Rita OK. But I really didn’t mean to hijack Shimmer1’s prayer thread.
Now I’m embarrassed that I feel so weak!! Ok, if she can do it, many times, then surely I can do this. Although I’d give a lot to have my son back. He called me last night. Distant, no offer of coming over or helping. But now he can say he called me.
Prayers sent...
Nothing to be embarrassed by.
That is pretty much standard.
And commiserating does help I hear.
We can at least be a shoulder and an ear.
Or if you need to vent, do so.
Your pic of the kitty ‘praying’ is precious.
Love your posts. They give us a little break from all the horrid news of the world.
Keep up the good work.

“But I really didn’t mean to hijack Shimmer1’s prayer thread.”
Your empathy for dear Shimmer came across loud and clear, and was true and valid. You’ve been there and you understand the suffering.
There is no highjacking of love, and of prayers for the sick. You did fine. You’re sweet and thoughtful.
Thank you very much!
Shimmer1, Thinking of you. Praying to God Our Father.
prayers for your healing, comfort and endurance, Shimmer1.
(((hugs)))
Prayers up!
Prayers on way. You can DO this!
Just one foot in front of the other, repeat.
I had cancer 40 years ago, no chemo then surgery.
But here I am, although growing old is every bit
as hard.
You have friends who care about you, lean on us.

Ok, you said it. I’m going to have to I’m afraid. This is tough.
Heck yes, and it doesn’t get any easier.
The thing is you are tougher than any cancer,
you CAN do this, you WILL do this, there is
more of you inside than you think.
It’s nice today, go sit outside in the sun
sure you feel sick as a dog, but go out
and soak up some rays, smell the air, just BE.
It will do you a lot of good.

Prayers up for both of you!
Thank you, Mr. Banker. ;-)
Prayers are always welcome and very much appreciated.
Hang in there, Shimmer1, my friend. We can do this.
Thank you moose, I've been gone awhile.
I’ve been away from the forum for awhile but had followed your posts earlier and said prayers for you. I admire your coping strength and nice posting even through your pain. I am not as strong as you and tend to go away and curl into myself for comfort when things go wrong. Continued prayers TOL.
Thank you so much for your prayers. There are two more sessions
of chemo “nasty drugs” in my future, and then I will be having a
cancer-gene suppressing drug every three weeks until December 9.
Your prayers are most welcome and appreciated, and just a thank
you seems like not enough, but from the bottom of my heart, thank
you so very much.
You are very welcome and I meant it when I say I admire your courage and spunk. (HUGS)
THANK YOU all for your prayers and words of encouragement for Shimmer1.
Shimmer1 has been admitted to the hospital because her platelets and blood cell counts are very low. So please continue to keep our FRiend in your thoughts and prayers tonight.
Thanks so much, and God bless!
