I'll be praying for you tomorrow with your #5 Tx. Soon you'll be done with them all.

Hope your chemo no. 5 goes off fine. You are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYour friend Sandra is so pretty! Sending loving thoughts her way too.
Hi Sweetie -
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers today and tomorrow and all the time. :)
Praying with you today as Chemo #5 gets under way...
ReplyDeletestill remembering Sandra as she walks through her trials...
now for American Idol...
I do like David Archuleta,
I don't like David Cook (He always looks too unkempt and dirty)
but I loved Brooke...I thought she had talent...not only did she sing but she could play the instruments...I thought Simon was way too hard on her...
I guess my next choices will be either Syesha or David Archuleta...
May the best one win!!!
Love ya,
Mimi

ReplyDeleteDeena, You were in my thoughs this morning... I am wondering how your second to last chemo is going today. I wish you the very best!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are busy & sleeping too.

Take care. Hugs & Love ~Mary~

Stay positive and keep the good fight! Hugs, Kelley
ReplyDeleteYou're in the home stretch! I'm praying that the chemo will ELIMINATE all cancer cells and that a year from now, this will all be a distant memory.
ReplyDeleteGo David Cook! Isn't he GREAT! My dh and I just love him. He's so much better than the rest.
Take care
Lennea

Hope you're feeling wonderful today. You're so talented but the thing you do best is inspire others. God bless you. Diane
ReplyDeleteDeena,
ReplyDeleteI hope that your chemo treatment goes well today. I pray that you have a good few days after too. You're almost done! Yea! Oh how I pray that it is kicking that cancer. Your friend is so pretty.
Have a good weekend.
Love Sharon
All of our prayers are being answered ...you are feeling good, sleeping well, great attitude...I am so thankful, Sweet Annee,
ReplyDeleteYour friend is a beautiful woman!

Deena,
ReplyDeleteAh! Only one more to go. That is GOOD news. I'm praying for you today as you go through #5. Glad you are sleeping and hoping this will continue.

I always watch American Idol. I was sorry to see Brooke leave, but I agree she wasn't as talented as some of the others. I like David Cook, but David A. is my favorite, and I really hope he wins.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good day.
Hey Mickey! You in that chemo chair? Are you there?!! It has taken days to be able to get your comment section to come up!! I am rural and dial up is ssssslllooow, ya know! Even so, I'm thinking bout you today, sending prayers your way. My husband and I were prayin on ya last night (he's out there driving) and he was saying how he had seen a program on tv at some truck stop and a person was telling how they had been Stage 4 and describing all the horrific details of dire diagnosis, but they were there to say...It all just went away! The doctors etc were stumped. But there they were in testimony to it, praising God for seeing them through it. Dale said, "That's what will happen for Deena." He's a special husband and a mighty comfort. From his lips to God's ears!! It's sunny and 65 today and I'm on my way out the door for errands. Blogged my blogs in advance for Mother's Daze that for some of us can be sooooo difficult.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm here I'm givin a shout out to all of you out there who needed a caring loving Mom but didn't get one. You are loved from Above. And to all women who were mothers and lost children, still born, miscarried, crib death, ran away, kidnapped or in wars...Happy Mother's Day to all of you all-ways! And for those young women and older too, who could not for whatever reason fulfill their one wish to become mothers...God blesses you and keeps you. So girl while you are in that chemo chair doin what you do, just know they are right, you are the inspiration for soooo many others. You're the catalyst that lets God's light shine in a brighter way to renew through you.
We love you.
Saints&Haints and Theresa Mary Rose too! but most of all, your friend. XO
YOU are beautiful.... outside and inside... Love to see you smiling!
ReplyDeleteBut they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Yeah!!!! Only one more treatment!!! Yippee! Let's put on some good music and do the happy dance. Okay?
ReplyDeleteSandra looks so beautiful.
Hugs!
Kat
Hi Deena...
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking of you!
Glad to see your smiling face.
Take gentle care...

Deena: You do look good there doll. Such a peaceful radiant face. I'm glad you're almost done with the treatments. My prayers for your friend, also!
ReplyDeleteNow on to American Idol. Well, it's turning into a teeny bopper popularity contest. Once Brooke made a mistake, she lost her confidence which is sad. She's a lovely girl and she does have talent, but she let stage fright get the better of her. Michael Johns should not have been kicked off early. Jason is a nice kid but has minimal talent, but lots of little girls voting for him. David Archuletta's voice has not matured yet and needs to work on it for a few years. Sayesha will be great for broadway but I don't think she can compete vote-wise with the guys. David Cook is the one that should win. If it's down to David A. and Jason, hubby and I are not watching any more. Whew.
Now go get some rest!
Praying for you always...:o)..one more to go!!!
ReplyDeleteSending lots of hugs!!
good evening dear,
ReplyDeleteI just stopped by again to see how the chemo went...
I am praying that you don't get sick this time and that you sleep well..
good night,
Love,
Mimi
5 DOWN!
ReplyDelete1 to GO!
Yay for chemo!! Your hawaiian hibiscus cap is so pretty and your smile is so warm, Deena.
Drink water, rest well...
and keep smiling! :-)
Hi Deena,
ReplyDeleteI don't watch American Idol but do love watching Dancing with the Stars. I can't believe you have one more chemo to go....hip hip hooray, that will definitely be a day to celebrate. We will wear party hats and blow horns and everything. Have a wonderful weekend sweetie.
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
You are looking great although I know the days have been hard. Keep fighting and swinging, girl. How is your friend Sandra? Didn't she have surgery last week? Hope everyday you are getting stronger. We will have a celebration when you are through!
ReplyDeleteLast time I was here, the first picture of you did not load so I did not see it. You look amazingly good Deena. It is hard to believe what is going on on the inside of your body. I pray that you will win the battle going on.
ReplyDeleteBless you today! Sharon
Deena...I have been reading your blog, and praying for you for a couple of months. I admire the strength you have showed through all of this. You are a beautiful lady.
ReplyDeleteFriday night I recieved the news that my baby sister,Darlene, has Ovarian cancer. She will have surgery Tuesday and I am praying I can be brave like you and help her family through this.
loretta
Hugs and prayers, ALWAYS . . . Jann
ReplyDeleteDeena,
ReplyDeleteKeep strong
you are on a journey that you can and will achieve,
to finish this trial and live a long and happy life,
i always pray for you,
my thoughts are with you
love,Debbie.
Hi Deena,
ReplyDeleteI am sold on David Cooke too ;) What a talented young man he is. I so want him to win. I'm with you, Brooke was a sweetie but it was time.
Hugs to you my friend, you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Dena
Hi, I'm a lurker; a pretty frequent reader. I agree with you about Brooke - and about Jason Castro. They are sweet people but not strong enough to be Idol winners. I too am all for David Cook (though hated to see Michael Johns, my other favorite, leave).
ReplyDeleteI predict the two Davids for the last two contestants. Even if David A. wins, David C. will have a great career.
Deena, You are very brave. You are in my prayers, and I will pray for Sandra too. Kathi
ReplyDeletePraying for you and Sandra. You look so good, Deena! You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteJennifer
Deena: Only YOU could look so gorgeous when having a chemo treatment! The warmth of your smile could melt a glacier...
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to keep you in prayer and I will pray for Sandra as well.
Much Love... *Linda*
