I'm doing okay




I want you all to know, I'm doing pretty good with the news toda.y


Yesterday was such a shock, but today,
I told Rich
I'm ready to beat this.




His response...


Let's do it.




I'm VERY tired today..I hope to be ME again tomorrow


Thank you all for your kindness, for your posts asking for prayers


on YOUR blogs..and for caring




Pray for my sweet husband too, he's been so strong & I know


it has to be so hard for him.




Going to get in bed and talk to God.




lovingly, Deena

  8. Deena, I just stumbled upon your blog. I have Ovarian cancer and I know how difficult it is. I know the shock and disbelief, but I also know that my Lord has seen me through. My new saying is life is difficult but wonderful! I will pray for you and your husband that the Lord will be real to you every step of the way.

  9. Deena, you are so right -- this is very hard on the ones who love us...they want to do something and they are "powerless". But they can love us and they can pray with us. Keeping you and Rich close to my heart and in my prayers. And I love your attitude -- it's the only one to have!!

  15. Deena, I find it interesting that people just "stumble" onto your blog. I wonder why? God is on your side, my friend. He has not left you. Nothing happens without a reason and God wants to reveal himself to you through these experiences. Praise the Lord, Almighty and give honor to his name. He enfolds you in his wings. I love you, Sally

When you put your head on your pillow you can rest in the knowledge that you are safe in God's loving care. He will carry you through this raging storm and back into the sunshine, once again. Much love, Susan P.

  28. Deena, prayers for you both. You can beat this thing. You are stronger than you think.

  29. I am so glad you are doing good and that the fighter in you is coming out and Rich. It is neat to know that every stage of cancer has been survived. You can do this. Have you looked into Hallalujah Acres and eating the wheat grass? My sister who survived thyroid cancer and a rare uterine cancer (after having both removed) used it. The website ishttp://www.hacres.com/home/home.asp

    Have a restful Sunday afternoon Deena.

    Affectionately, Sharon

  31. Deena, You Rich and Nicole are in my thoughts and prayers.
    As the others have said every cancer, in every stage, there are survivors.
    Your words "I'm ready to beat this" says it all!!
    We are all with you and here for you..
    Hugs & much love, ~Mary~

  38. walking the breast cancer 3-day, i, too, have heard and seen the miracles that survivors have shared.....one of the verses associated with the walk was:

    "What Cancer Cannot Do"
    Cancer is so limited

    It cannot cripple love
    It cannot shatter hope
    It cannot corrode faith
    It cannot destroy peace
    It canot kill friendships
    It cannot suppress memories
    It cannot silence courage
    It cannot invade the soul
    It cannot steal eternal life
    It cannot conquer the spirit

    you and Rich continue to be in my heart and prayers.
    Kimberly

  45. Deena, although we haven't met, I read Annie's post and needed to come over. Please accept my prayers and positive vibes to your gallant fight. A dear friend had cancer last year and so have many relatives. May you come out on the up side very soon.

  46. Hi Deena!!!

    I know this is a major emotional roller coaster for you!

    Any one of us could be gone tomorrow...no one is promised another day...so try to remain positive and remember what all the others have said....a lot of people are living with cancer and living a long full life.
    The kids and I will be praying for you every morning and of course I think of you and pray often for you through the day!

    Much Love!
    Sara

  47. Deena,

    I found your blog through Lee at Webber's World and I had to visit. I will say a secret Italian prayer for you that I just learned this Christmas Eve. This prayer, according to legend, can only be taught on Christmas Eve and I'm so glad my dear friend's mother took time this past year to teach me.

    Take care,
    Connie

  50. Deena,

    I'm so glad you are doing a little better today. I know you CAN beat this thing and Rich's words reminds me of the saying, "Let's Roll."

    You are a brave and strong woman. You are now walking through the fire, which will make you even stronger.

    All of my love, blessings and prayers to you and Rich.

    Love you...
    Mary
