My Dear cuties, as promised I received the results from my latest MRI. They are later than usual & now I know why. It seems that since last year when the mass was .8 cm the same it has been in the previous 4 years, that has changed. The mass has grown to a 1.1 cm. It is quite disheartening for me since I expected no change, my state of mind is not in the right place yet, less than 24hrs since I received this news. I am sure I will come to terms with this news in a day or two. I am on watch for cognitive thoughts & speech changes & a host of other things to watch for significant changes, hearing eye sight things like that. All I can do is slow down & limit my stress Now if someone out there can tell me how to do this that would help lol. I would like to ask that you keep me in your prayers that it does not continue to grow or that I have the strength to face it if it does. As always I thank you all, you give me strength when I need it most. ~hugs Loralye~

Draw close to God and He will lead you through, lean not on your own understanding, ....you know all this. Thankfully, He helped you through before and He can again. I asked for God's mercy on you again.In christian love,Toogie

Sandra thank you so much, I am very grateful

the dear Lord will be with you as He have been in the past He will comfort you in a difficult time in my prayers luv ans

thank you all so very much, knowing that I have your prayers of support make it easier to deal with the fear of going down this road once more. It really brings me a sense of calm & peace to know that your prayers are with me during this challenging time. I am going to try to implement some of these suggestions I know if nothing else they will calm me & that can only help. Hugs to each & every one of you

Oh, Loralye, I'm so sorry to hear your news. You have already shown such immense strength - I pray you will find enough to carry you through this. Remember, there are so many friends here on Cute praying for you... you are not alone. Sending hugs, prayers and calming thoughts your way!

Hi Loralye, tell yourself it is not going to grow any more and is going to shrink, keep yourself busy, so you are not thinking about it. Will keep praying for you. Hugs from Maureen

Prayers and hugs coming your way, Loralye! Joyce

So sorry to hear your news. Prayers and hugs. I find writing in my journal helps me sort things out and let go of things that cause me to be stressed. God Bless

Hugs!

Dear Loralye, sorry to hear this. I pray for your comfort and to be stress free. Know that I and the Cuties are sending you the strength and support you need. Hugs, Suzanna

Western medicine has definitely created more information and techniques about the brain. I pray for you that your doctors are inspired by you and find ways to make sure you receive the best of care.

Prayers and hugs for you, dear Loralye! One of the things that calm my stress is music, listen to the music/songs that you love most. You will always be in my thoughts.
Hugs, Lidia

I pray for the strength you need to get through each day.

many thanks for the hugs & sending them your way too

You have my most heartfelt prayers. The only way I know of to reduce stress is turn off the computer and television and basically cocoon yourself. Stop and pray frequently. You have to decide where those activities fall on that line for you.

maybe let someone else search out the daily freebies you post. it will be ok if you take the time for just you

Sorry about the news, but as for that stress, the number 1 help you've already done - pray and ask for prayers. Also consider, yoga, meditation, music, a pet and limiting your time with people who drain you! (You know who they are!)

yes Betsy I do Yoga once a week but maybe I need to try doing it @ home as well. A very good tip thank you. I have a dog that I love very much & he is faithful so also another good tip. Music can be a challenge for me to keep up so I limit that & the last one is easier said then done lol But I am forced to try this. Thanks for the great tips, I knew cuties would know just the right thing to say

So sorry to hear, Loralye...hugs and prayers coming your way!

Dear Loralye, I am sorry that the news was not as promising as you were expecting and I will certainly pray for your peace of mind. How about doing some meditation? May God calm your thoughts and fill your mind with good things. Love Chris

from the bottom of my heart thank you. It helps to know this

My heart is breaking for you. I know we all find this news most distressing. You know we will all be praying for you. I can't help you live a stress-free life. But I can tell you that prayer helps me calm down. I also enjoy looking at the world God made for us. The blue sky and fluffy clouds. The beautiful flowers always bring a smile to my face. Don't hesitate to ask for prayers. And remember, you are never alone. This journey of yours is ours also.

thanks so much I feel the need & am grateful for them

So sorry to hear this Loralye,
Will pray that it does not advance and please find something to do that will help you relax. I realize we think embroidery does this for most of us but sometimes we want to do too much and it has the opposite effect.
In my thoughts and prayers.
big hug
Michelle
