I am so sorry, know that I am thinking of you and praying.

Thanks so much, the support is much appreciated. I know, I can't understand the chaos all around me either. I've never experienced this many events at one time. It's almost unreal.

I talked to my cousin, she will have her surgery tomorrow - so we will know then, whether or not it is ovarian cancer. She is in very good spirits, not in denial, but waiting for the results to know what she will need to do. She is very pragmatic and does not seem daunted at all by the prospect of cancer. I know it will be hard for her, I hope I can help!

I'm sorry that you are going through all of this, I'll pray that you find some peace during these hectic times!

I think that we all have times where it seems like everything is going wrong, either with us or those around us. It's hard to deal with and you're afraid of what's going to happen next. I had a year where my health fell apart. Thank goodness it only lasted a year and things are much, much better now.

With all of your friends and husband having problems now is the time for you to find the strength to be a light and encourager to all of those who are having trouble. Don't let it wear you down but keep a smile on your face and joy in your heart to share with the others. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I'm so sorry all of this is happening at the same time! It has to be tough to be a rock for everyone. But we're here for you!
Your cousin sounds like she has the right spirit to get through anything!

Our maker only gives us as much as we can handle and some days we wonder how much more can we take. 2 years ago in Feb. our cousin passed away from cancer then in March of same year my mom passed away from cancer, then in May
great grandmother passed away from cancer, 3 days later my FIL passed away
from a heartattack but had also battled with cancer at the same time my son
graduated from High School. Then daughter got pregnant and had an abusive
boyfriend. But I got to be there when my mom died and I got to be there when my first grandson was born. Now my daughter is married to a great fella now are expecting
in April. So you are in my prayers along with all the people around you. I'm so sorry your having to go though this. I know when I went though all that it really made me stronger and more caring of the people around me. God Bless You.

I just love it when this forum rallies around each other. What a great, loving group of women. When it starts getting to you Gayle...we're here with open arms.

Thank you ALL so very very much!!! You just don't know how much it helps to know you all are "out" there.

We just found out today that our faculty member who had surgery last week and was told she had stage one ovarian cancer - that she actually has stage four uterine cancer. Obviously, that is horrible news. However, she is going to MD Anderson cancer center for a second opinion, as we do not have a very good cancer center in this city. Hopefully, she still does not have the correct diagnosis.

Our other faculty with melanoma of the eye got good news this week, her cancer has not returned - just wonderful news!!!

Our faculty that was in the horrible car accident is going to be OK, but she has badly broken legs, pelvis and ankle, but she will be OK

Now, I'm just waiting for my cousin to have surgery to remove the tumor from her ovary to see whether or not it is cancerous. We will know tomorrow!

Good news now. My husband is feeling much better!!! I'm so happy for him!!!

I'll be OK, no matter the outcome for any of these things, but not without the support of my caring friends!

Thanks so much,
Gayle
