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

ReplyDeleteDeena, that has to be your daughter in the picture with you as she looks just like you, spitting image!!
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
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...
ReplyDeleteI 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 pray for you each and every day, Deena, and you are a strong soldier in this battle and I see your Armour of God in each of your posts. You have been a blessing to me and I know to so many others!!

ReplyDeleteLots of love and strength to you

Good for you taking control of when you'd be bald! The hats are so charming & the wig amazingly like your own hair. The best was the smile in your eyes. Yep, keep that going.
ReplyDeleteMe again Deena...I've left something for you at Esprit today (28th). xo
ReplyDeleteYou are still a very beautiful woman. I have a friend that I go to church with and she is going through the same things you are. She is on her way to recovery. You can beat this! God can strengthen you and you will make it. I hope you have a good day! Bless you.
ReplyDeleteYou look really great bald! I think it was a great idea shaving your head. Lovely hats and wig. All the best in your fight.
ReplyDeleteDeena,
ReplyDeleteYour 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.....
Joyce
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
ReplyDeleteHats, 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!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
You look beautiful with or without hair. Fight HARD my friend! Love your wig and hats. You are a courageous and strong woman. May God send you His blessings today.

Deena you are looking good.
ReplyDeleteAlison
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.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know you but I love you, dear sister in Christ.
Smiles!
Bless your heart, Deena, this post made me want to hug you tight for being so beautiful in every way.
ReplyDeleteDearest Deena,
ReplyDeleteyou beautiful angel you!
oh my gosh you have such courage!
I am so inspired by you!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Hugz and prayers,
Dolly
Dear Deena,
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration and I will be thinking positive thoughts for you tomorrow and always..
Michelle
I love your battle cry "KICK CANCER'S ASS!" Go get um Deena! We are behind you all the way! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWell Pink Princess Warrior I like your attitude. That wig is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. That and the armor of God is going to make you one very 'fashionable' warrior.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lallee
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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!

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!
ReplyDeleteI think you look spectacular. Enjoy your many new looks with all those great hats and wigs!
Take care, Katie
You are beautiful. That is you. Beautiful.
