chemo tonight
November20
Tonight we get the second round of chemo. Not looking forward to it, but everything has gone well so far. I am hoping for a good nite. I am pretty tired from the day so surely I will sleep through most of it. Wish me luck… One thing for sure, if the chemo keeps me awake, I start praying pretty hard. That’s the good thing. Love you all. Karen
Hey Karen –
Glad you had a great day out! Got to work this morning , wish you were there! Take care and keep up the hard work!
Love Ya,
Leila
Hi Karen, I love reading your notes. You uplift the reader and remind us that we have nothing to complain about.
Love Ya, Louise
Karen, got a song for you! This is my current fave-fave-favorite song! Awesome worship song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NN9hX61vhg
Love you girl! Call me – I keep missing you and getting your voicemail.
Hey girl…just watched you and Dylan singing…too cute…you look great…I miss you and want to be with you so much. I wish I was there helping to take care of you but know that I am there in my heart. I wanted to drop you a line and tell you to keep your chin up and we are continuing to pray for you, that He keep and comfort you, and bring healing to your body. I love you and am sending you loving thoughts…Gin
I had no idea you were having all this trouble. I was talking to dee today and she was telling me about all the things you have been through. You are a fighter and this is just another way that you are going to prove it to all of us. I am sorry I have not written before… I wish I had known sooner. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and if you need anything please just let me know. I wish you the best and stay strong! Love the wig btw.

Hi Karen,
been slammed working 6 days and have not had the chance to say hello…although you are always in my thoughts. I know that this is a long story, but I wanted to share a card sent to me that said exactly what my jumbled head thought, but could not pull out. It read…..What do we do when we face challenges that make us wonder what is ahead? The answers are not always easy, and the direction is not always clear. In these circumstances, our hope is in God alone. Our lives and our times are in His hands, and He ASSURES us that He is the rock we can stand upon through the storm(Roy Lessin). I am believing with you-in the wisdom of His ways, in the goodness of His love, and in the assurance of His presence as He keeps you every step of the way.
This is so true…isn’t it. Is it not He that breathed life into us. He is who we should praise…for good and bad. I am not saying that He is evil, but is not His will for us to know and trust Him. How can we thank Him for the good and not also thank Him for the bad….is this (cancer) not the storm and God is our rock against the storm. God does not say that there will never be a storm…only that He is our umbrella. We have to trust and praise and keep our faith and eyes on HIM..the ALPHA and OMEGA. He is Wise and knows our future…can we not trust the God who loves us far more than any relationship we have…parents, children, husbands, sisters, friends. If our lives were perfect with riches, happiness, dream horses, beautiful homes, and perfect children…..would we ever seek to know the CREATOR? I know I wouldn’t. I am stubborn and had to be shook up. It took Bell’s Palsy to make me grateful for my ability to move my face. It took your cancer for me to realize….about my UN-forgiveness towards someone very dear to me. I know we all have been humbled by your cancer. Do you even realize…with facebook and your blog…how many people you have touched. Do you know that you are an every day witness and inspiration to us all. You have touched your friends, my friends, and friends friends, Ginny’s friends, patients of mine, and so many more. Our eternal lives are witnessed to by your temporary suffering and sorrows. I know this is not fun and you are miserable, but I know that God has a plan for you bigger then you thought you could have. He is going to make you a stronger person than you think you are. You go with your gut (heart) that is where God whispers to you. LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE, but most of all BELIEVE!
I hope all this came our right and that it made sense. I love you. Keep your head up and remember that aromatherapy……..TO BE CONTINUED. Oh and remember the cup is half full…never half empty. You are a WITNESS to many. God chose you. I am the mouth of the family, but HE chose you. Think about that! That gives me CHILLS. You will have a story to tell. You are my Corrie Ten Boom! Obey Him and go fishing….if you know what I mean. Praying for Natalie and YOU. With love and sympathy, LIL SIS.
