My prayers go out to you and yours!

My mother is a two time breast cancer survivor. There were twenty seven years between occurances. She is currantly taking each of my five sons individually to her home so that they can have a week of being the "only one" and spoiling them rotten! She drives four hours each way in her red sports car to drop off one and pick up the next boy. All this at age 75! I pray that her story gives you some hope!

Hang in there!

Jlily, I am so sorry you and your DH are having to face such hard times. My thoughts and prayers are with you also. Luvs

Saying prayers for you since the surgery is today...

Lord, guide the doctors hands and make sure they get all the cancer!
May the angels walk around your bedside and keep you from pain. Amen

Hello
All, I am just writing to let you know about our progress. I had my surgery on Thursday I believe not a lumpectomy but a bigger cut. Not mastectomy. He also took parts to test. I am seeing the Dr. on Monday hopefully he will have the rsults by then. My DH got oxygen and 2 units of blood on thursday, also. I am going to see if we cn get him on oxygen at home. It seemed to help him a lot. But he is still getting out a lot of phlegm--nasty .

I thank you all for your prayers and careing.
Love, Jlily

Jlily, thank you for being able to update us on the two of you. Sounds like your DH is having a pretty rough time but maybe the oxygen will get him thru it faster. I know its terrible having to wait for test results, and my thoughts are with you on that.

Heart hugs,
Karen

Prayers for you and your DH are continuing to come your way Jlily! Thanks for the update. I hope your surgery wiped out your cancer and that your DH is able to become comfortable to start on his road to recovery for his leukemia. Bless you both and the health care workers helping you!

Hugs,
Kathy

My sister went thru this just over a yr. ago & has gained back her strength & back to work (a nurse)...so many good drs. out there & staff! My Dad used to say, "Keep a stiff upper lip!" and so I am passing that on to you tonight! God bless! Jeanne S.

Prayers and good thoughts continue. I can't imagine how tough this is with both of you fighting such huge battles at the same time. May you be surrounded by loving family and friends to help you thru this.

Nanagrandma

Prayers for you both.
My cyst was when Bill undergoing chemo and radiation
and I prayed "Lord I don't have time for this--Please help me" and I am sure you feel the same.
My constant prayer for all cancer patients--
Lord, give them complete healing, no pain or nausea.
Thank you Lord!

I just found this...I'm stunned at all you are going through and am praying for you and your DH, Jlily.

May the good Lord hold you both in his healing hands and help you through this very difficult time.

There are times in our lives when we feel things will never be better. I'm sure this is one of those times for you and your DH. I have had many such times in my 67 years. However, things have ALWAYS gotten better for me, and I pray they will for both of you too.

God is good and is always there for us to help us through our trials.

Please keep the faith and know the many prayers being said for you and your DH are very powerful!

God bless you both!
~Sandy~

I will continue to keep you, your DH and all your health care providers in my prayers, jlily! The hospital might just need to get a room for the two of you to share your recoveries!

I just seen this post since I have been back. Girl, what troopers you and your DH must be to stand up to all that has been dealt to you. I have read the posts from everyone and I know you are in the hands of God with all of these prayer warriors on your side. I know you will continue to fight this battle with Gods mightly love wrapped around you both. You are being lifted up in prayer all over this great big world of ours right now.

Thank you all for your prayers and caring. My DH had his 13th session of radiation today. His appetite has increased some. He has to go get 2 units of blood tomorrow. At the same time I am to have 2 scans done-checking for more Cancer before they begin my treatments. Today was 2 weeks from my Masectomy. I still have one drain and my staples in. I am to lose them next week. They are going to install a port for my chemo.

Thanx again. Love to all, Jane (Jlily)

I thought I'd read the post since it was at the top . I wanted to see what's been added . NOW -- I can't believe myself . My God ...... I was sure I had replied , but I didn't .....
I feel soooo bad now . How could I have forgotten ? There are so many replies , I just can't believe I let a "family member" go without my best wishes & prayers.

OHhhhhh ....... My heart goes out to you & your DH , sweetie . I wish I could hug you both -- a big - gentle hug . I'm speechless because of all the things you are going through. I've said this so many times to my friends - I wish I had a magic wand that would make it all go away . I'd even take the pain for you if I could. When you hurt - I hurt.... that's how much friends mean to me. I can tell you right now ... prayers are going out every day for you & DH . With all of us praying for you .... I really believe you can expect positive results. Till then ... You are both in my thoughts and I'm sending "healing vibes" your way .
(((((((((( HUGS )))))))))

jlily...thank you for the update...more prayers coming your way...I see on your page that you have been retired for awhile...so you know how time goes so quickly! Will be so much better for you next week when staples & drain come out...I remember how much better my sister felt when that was done.

Continued good thoughts and prayers for your DH...he's over l/3rd of the way...hope the blood tomorrow will give him more strength! Keep holding on to each other, your family, friends & faith! Jeanne S.

Been thinking about you....thanks for the update and we're continuing to lift you and your DH up in our thoughts and prayers!

Hugs to both of you!
Marlene

Jane,
WOW! I'm amazed at you. I appreciate you taking the time to update us all on what's happening. Sure hope all goes well for your additional scan and that there is no more cancer so they can proceed to the next step. And all this too with your hubby where he is. How is he doing? Did the doctors order that he can get the oxygen at home? Keep focussed on healing and positive activities.
My prayers are still going up fro you and hubs.
Love, Jules

Prayers will continue for the both of you and your health care workers! I am happy to hear that your husband's treatments are going well and I hope your scan will be a positive one. Thank you for the update!

Jilly, I can not even imagine the kind of turmoil you are going thru. Just know that our prayers are with you and you DH. It takes a lot of strength to go thru what you are going thru.

Still saying prayers for the both of you!
Thanks for the update.
My prayer--
Complete healing, and no pain!

Jilly,
You and your husband are in my prayers. Bless your heart you've been through so much... Praying also for God to heal you both...Amen

Thinking of and praying for you and yours.Please stay optimistic and know everyone here is pulling for you. My best friend beat breast cancer twice, 4 years apart. Now she has been cancer free for 6 years. Your original post mentioned that things were hanging by a thread, it made me think of one of my favorite sayings." When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
Syble

Our prayers are with you both. My husband had bladder cancer surgery in March,he also lost a kiddney. Had 54 staples, had them removed a week later the wound busted open. Had to go back and have everything sterlized again.
And in all he had 13 pints of blood because of the cancer,
and he devleoped 6 bleeding ulcers. He went in the hospital weighing 145. Coming home weighing 105. I said all this to let you know GOD is good!!!! He does listen to prays. Today DH is cancer free,ulcer free, and now weighs

155. He also has quit smoking and eats everything in site!
     And to hear him say it ( I may have lost my bladder but I have life!) He was postive through the whole thing. Oh and did I mention no chemo. GOD IS GOOD!!!!! Bless you and your family, he will take care of you both.

Hello,
We are so lucky to have found these caring people. They must be really special to work with Cancer patients, I think. The group at the Chemo building are calling me and DH "double trouble". LOL

He has had 25 sessions of radiology. He had to take 13 days off for his throat and stomach to heal. He was having trouble swallowing food and liquids. He should be done with the radiology on Sept. 30 if he is able to continue on schedule.

Monday I am going for my second round of chemo. I have not been able to do much in the way of gardening this year. But I have taken some pictures of some of my earlier project to update when I get more time.

Thank you all for caring and your prayers.
Love, Jlily

Hoping you are both through with treatments by the holidays & that you can put it all behind you!! Continued prayers & hoping this round of chemo won't cause you problems. One thing about it, can't say the other spouse doesn't "understand" you are both in it together! Hope neither of you are smoking & don't let smokers in your house!! Keep us posted on how you are doing!! Hugs, Jan

You both have my prayers and best wishes. I understand what you are going through. I have had to do the chemo three times now and have had radiation for one six week session this summer too. Hang in there. The worst will soon be over. Keep us posted when you can.

~Micki~

I had been wondering how things were going with the 2 of you. Glad you found a few minutes to let us know.
Praying for you both--complete healing, no pain!
Hugs and prayers!

It sounds like you two are doing pretty well. And like Jan said, you two can relate to each other! It must create a special bond between you that should make your relationship stronger. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers along with your medical team. Keep us updated!

DoubleTrouble ..... LOL .... so glad to hear y'all are getting through all this okay. That good sense of humor will help keep things brighter. Been thinking about ya .... hang in there! ~tenderlee

Hello,
WE are still hanging in there. DH has had 33 Radiology treatments. He is still having trouble swollowing and cannot taste his food. Which does not encourage him to eat-but he is trying. His radiologist said 33 treatments out of 38 was pretty good. So, we will see how good.

I am going to start my 5th Chemo treatment this morning. It has got to be better than the last one. My hands and feet and tongue were swollen for almost 2 weeks.
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you all.
Happy smiles to you all. JLILY

Hope 5 is the magic number!! Praying for a cure this time & that by Christmas this will all be just a memory! Hugs & prayers! Jan

May God continue to be with both of you....you're both an inspiration in grace to us all!

Praying for you right now, how unbelievebly strong you both are. I hope that the side effects ease up for both of you.

Sylvia

Big gentle hugs to you and your DH...sending good thoughts & prayers your way. Thanks for the update...keep up the strong attitude & encouraging each other... & happy smiles to you both, too! Jeanne S.

I am so glad you were able to update us. Prayers will continue, especially for both of you to have a new year ahead of only good things. This has been such a rough year on you, and my heart goes out to you and your Dh.

Jlily and your DH, I hope 2010 brings healthier and happier days to you both!!! You remain in my thoughts and prayers! I am so sorry that you guys are having to go through this. Hugs ~tenderlee
