Big update on what's going on in my corner of the world
Permalink  





Hi everyone,

Big update on what's going on in my corner of the world, unfortunately none of it is good. To start out with, Laura's MRI results have come back, and she does indeed have a hrniated disc. Secondly, my family and i are losing a family friend to cancer. He has only a month to live. The kind of cancer he has is very rare, only 23 people in the world have it, and it's so rare that no one knows how to treat it. It's so aggressive that tumors covered both of his lungs in 48 hours.

Thirdly, I have a cousin who also has cancer throughout he whole body, I saw her while i was gone, and she does not look good. Please pray for her and our family friend.

Thanks for updating us. I have been praying for you and will add these new requests. Does Laura need surgery?

I echo Dave's sentiments Mel. I had no idea a cancer could spread that rapidly. May you find peace.

Mel-- I am grateful for your update.  I was getting concerned.  Herniated discs are no fun.  I have already had extensive back surgury and have five or six herniated discs again and in need of additional operations.  I am just putting them off, becasue the doctors best promise if 50% improvement--and the insurance company would rather I be addicted to Vicodin.  I think I am going to go out of network.  I bought the policy on my own becasue I thought it would be better for me and my family.  For the four of us it is 1200.00 per month and they don't cover a damn thing.  Tell her to hang in there.  A friend of mine just suggested Pilates to help correct the problem.  I figure why not, I have tried everything else.  Maybe I will lose the excess weight too.


On the cancer.  That is so devistating.  (I decided to edit the post on my last disclosure, so if any one saw it, I would rather that not be public right now.)


Best wishes and prayers to your family, friends and partner.

Surgery is the absolute last resort, Ruby, I will continue to keep everyone posted on Laura's situation. Thanks to you and everyone in the FFR family for caring so much.

   P.S. I'm sure the rest of the gang feels the same way and would tell you so if they were here. Strength is the key word now.  If you find you  need some , please  feel free to draw on mine . Dave

MN,

I'm so sorry to hear of the turmoil in your life.

I can't beleive we still haven't been able to find an all out cure for Cancer. That dreaded C word has haunted us for a long time now.

I'll keep you and your friends & family in my prayers.

All I can say Mel is I'm sorry to hear the news. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Just know you have a lot of friends here so don't be afraid to chat, vent or rant. We're here for you.

Suffering is inevitable. It is just a matter of time. That's just the way it is. But we are all really lucky to have such a nice place to share, to vent, to cry, to be heard. To share the good and the bad. Tho we have never met face to face, you are dear friends to me, and I know you feel the same between all of us.


The bad will come. Know that there is warmth and empathy here.
