Prayer request. Most of you know I am battling cancer but I got a message from a dear old school friend that they found a mass in her lung and she knew that's how I started 2 years ago. I am stitching out angels for her and her college age daughter, mother, etc. She had one chemo treatment before fluid built up around her heart and she has been on a vent since then. Her daughter has been keeping me updated and says she knows her mother would not want people to see her right now though some have been pushing. I told the daughter that right now it is all about what her Mother wants and tell the people she doesn't want visitors. I have been trying to keep this poor girl hanging on while trying to hang on myself. I keep crying for her and we need her to get strong enough to breathe without the vent so she can fight the cancer. Please pray for Phyllis, she needs all she can get! Thanks cuties, you are the best!

Debra, I am so sorry for your friend, and will continue to pray for you both for strength and healing. Cancer is a dreadful disease, and rallying for a cure is utmost in my heart. I know
it is tough for you to know your friend now has to go through this, too. Focus on yourself to stay strong for her! The Lord is in control and you both are in His loving hands!
Hugs,
Angel

Thank you. Yes it is awful and it doesn't always show on the outside. With a lot of my hats, a lot of people would not guess I have a problem. I know I have to remain positive and strong so I can help her too. Talking to her was hard knowing that I could only ease her mind and not her heart.

My heart goes out to you and your dear friend. I will be praying for both of you. I lost my dear sister-in-law 2 years ago to colon cancer and I miss her so much. Dean

Thank you. My Dad just got his 5 year check up and had one polyp that would have turned to cancer but they told him he wouldn't need another colonoscopy for 3 years, he is almost 77 and it is hurting him so bad to see me at almost 58 fighting lung/bone cancer.
