Prayers, please for my niece

16 years ago

Do you remember my niece, Barbara, who lives in Killeen? Two years ago lots of you sent cards to her when she underwent a double mastectomy for breast cancer. She had been doing extremely well, then found out last week she has a brain tumor.

She's been in Scott & White in Temple and had surgery today. Neurosurgeon said he removed all he could, about 90% of the tumor. Initial biopsy test showed metastasized breast cancer. She will have some vision loss in one of her eyes. Dr. said he will wait for results of more tests and then decide what to do next.

Barbara's been so strong throughout all her surgeries, treatments, etc. She has a son who is out of college & lives nearby; her other son is in the Army due to get home from Iraq by the weekend. You'll probably remember that she's my twin sister's daughter, and since Neva died, I've become like a mom to her. She's very special to all of us, so I know she'd appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers you can spare.

I'll let you all know how she does when I hear something later.

Prayer just said for your niece. From what I just researched, those kind of cysts are not cancerous, thank goodness.

The funeral went well, today. They had made a vidoe of her as a mom, wife and herself. It was so wonderful. It sure was her. When they played the part about her being herself everyone in the church stood and they played the song Save a Place For Me. It was just so peaceful. When you saw Laura she always had a smile on her face. I sure will miss her...
