The Kitchen Table

Also asking for prayers

18 years ago

I found out this afternoon that my 56 year old step sister has stage 4 ovarian cancer, stage 4 liver cancer and also cancer in her lymph nodes. They are going to begin aggressive treatments on her. The prognosis isn't good. Please keep Bonnie in your prayers.

Linda, I so hate to hear news like this. She is only 56.
It is amazing what they can do now a days. Do you live close to her or does she have family close?
I will keep Bonnie in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the very best for her.

Such good news for Bud! And I'm with Tally... these days many procedures that were once difficult, have become so routine. Andrew - I am so sorry that even after your surgery that you continue to have problems. Maybe your Dr. will choose to remove all the rods and such and that will make all the difference. Even when I don't see you post regularly, you are still on my mind from time to time. Hopefully the day isn't too far off when you can say how great you are doing. You certainly aren't alone with having a slow bloom season. The weather has been so weird this summer. Really, I shouldn't complain because it has made working at the plant farm so much more pleasant, yet.......... well, ya know! :) Oh yeah... please don't feel like you should carry any responsibility for some of the "debates" around here. Someone could post that the sky is blue and it would turn into a discussion on why you are wrong about that. Or maybe be asked to post evidence that it is true. Whatever, right? Don't let that kind of stuff keep you away. We need you here! :)

Mellisa is at home. The surgery went well. She was in a lot of pain and had a difficult time breathing. They did keep her on oxygen until, I think it was Saturday. They also left the drainage tube in until Saturday, and altogether (surgery and post op) about 1000 cc of fluid was drained. Lab was done and no infection or bacteria found. She was discharged yesterday, and her husband and two of the kids (teen age daughter and step daughter) made the trip home with her. Thank you so much for all the prayers and good wishes. They help more than anything! Next hurdle is to find out if this will be successful long term.

May I ask for prayers for 2 today?

It seems like God always answers when I pray for others, not so much when I ask for myself. KT prayers helped my cousin Joyce when she fell and broke her hip, then had a heart attack the next day. Also helped her sister Judy when she had a heart blockage and needed surgery on December 24 a couple years ago.

I somehow missed this one...

This sounds pretty bad....I will offer prayer for her...and hope the best. I know my cousin in law's sister is in remission. She's been in remission for her cancer she got three years ago. And now she is in remission for the lukemia.

It can happen !!!

I am sorry to hear this. Cancer is a terrible word, so many of us have experienced it in our families one way or another.
I am going to keep you, your sister Bonnie and everyone involved in my thoughts and prayers.
