  2. You are beautiful, both inside and outside. And God can kick that cancer out!! Oh yes.

    My dearest friend has cancer, she was given a few months to live a couple of years ago. Our Pastor said "no, God says 'all will be well'". And she is still with us, is working fulltime, and her diabetes (which came on because of all the treatments she'd had) has gone! The doctors can't believe she is still walking around. To God be the glory!

    Many blessings and love, you are in my prayers.

  7. Deena, that has to be your daughter in the picture with you as she looks just like you, spitting image!!

    That is a beautiful wig. Yes, it does look like your own hair style, color and all.

    I love the way your manage to stay so positive. I don't know if I would be that brave or now even though I, too, have a lot of faith in God.

  8. Hi Denna, I have been keeping up with you, but my computer has not been letting post..I am not sure why? Anyhow, we know when the hair is coming out the chemo is working and the cancer cells are dying...
    I have been praying for you and believing for your healing, in Jesus name!
    I have a niece that is in her late 40's. She is a 2 time breast cancer survivor. The first time she was expecting her 2nd child. She did chemo and still carried the baby to full term. She had no hair when he was born. The baby was born with a full head of hair..He is a healthy child. God is good! The second time she dicovered it fast. She did not have to have any treatments. She has had both breasts removed. She is doing well it has been 11 years since the first and about 3 years ago on the second time ...God is good!
    Hugs from the Heart of Texas!
    Be safe in Jesus!

I can tell because I can see the "let's kick cancer's ass" look in your eyes, your husband and family is right by your side, your friends are there too, your supplies (wigs and hats and chemo) are ready and most importantly - God is by your side. Charge ahead sweet friend! We've got your back.

  38. I thought about you tonight at a business dinner, Deena. The place was painted robin's egg blue and mossy brown. I thought, "those are Deena's colors," and they made me happy.

    I love seeing the bald, smiley you. You look beautiful.

    Love,

  48. Deena,
    Your doing great.....loved the HATS. Women should wear hats more don't you agree. Got your note...thanks! Just remember to keep smiling and "chin up!" How you battle is soooo much about "how" you approach the fight and your is so attitude and life outlook are both so good.....that's most of the battle right there.
    Hang in there.....

  49. Hi Deena! You look as beautiful as ever! I believe you've got the strength to kick that cancer right out of your life for good. As always, you inspire me, and I've given you an award on my blog, as you enrich me with your creativity and your amazing energy! x

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hats, scarves, wigs.....whatever it takes to get kicking, screaming and fighting.....do it all Deena, and know we are right behind you every single day!

    We had a head shaving party for Bob - along with wine and cheese - in our neighbors' potting shed 5 years ago, it was fun and we always think about it when we look into their garden!!

    You look strong and fabulous....may tomorrow go well for you as you get your second chemo. Tell Rich to stay strong and hold you close - we know how it is for him too.
    We'll be sending prayers your way.
    Hugs Mary & Bob.

  54. Deena, you never cease to amaze me! I come here daily to check on you and try to encourage you. You are the one going through this battle and yet I go away from this blog each day feeling uplifted and encouraged by YOU and I thank God for you.

    You are even more beautiful with your new, no-hair do because I can see Jesus' love shining through! I know that because you are sharing your journey so openly and honestly and especially sharing your joys, you have and will continue to touch so many people.

    I love the new wig and all of your hats! Can't wait to see them all on our pretty model!

  65. I love that you are so brave and beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes to see you loose your hair. My kids had a hard time understanding "why doesn't Grandma have hair anymore" I think it really helped them process it all when my mother-in-law would let them see her without any hats or wigs even though that was so hard on us grown ups. I love how you are handling all of this just like I loved how my dear m-i-l handled it. With God all things are possible.
    I don't really know you but I love you, dear sister in Christ.

  71. Oh Deena, I am sitting here crying! Your post has really touched me today for so many different reasons. For one, you just continue to amaze me with the strength that you have, the love for God and the amazing beauty that exudes through your words and your smile. I don't know the pain you are going through, however I thought of you as I had a follow up mamo and sono yesterday. I think I am ok, I pray. You know, you have been on my mind each day and not a day goes by that I don't think of you several times. You are an angel! I love your hats and wigs and know that you will be adorable, as always, wearing them! Hey, I never could wear hats cause I have a huge melon and very thick hair - must be the Cherokee Indian in me. ha.

    You have a super day my sweet friend!

    -clean linens
    -snuggles with my family
    -having my son come home on leave time
    -a nice glass of red wine
    -walks on the beach
    -Doogs and Socks on my lap
    -lovely scented candles
    -waking up each morning

    Love ya!

  72. Deena, bald is beautiful. You look fabulous! My youngest, who was 5 mos old when I started chemo in Sept 2006, loved to play the drums on Mommy's bald head. He'd pull off my hat and bango on the bongo! What fun!

    I think you look spectacular. Enjoy your many new looks with all those great hats and wigs!
    Take care, Katie
