What's really important in this life?

Some days I feel like I am fighting for my life and I come to this board for encouragement and thank God I know that I can leave with a smile on my face. I know there are negative comments and posts but they don't bother me. I know who I believe in and I know what works for me. My foundation is not one that will crumble when storms come my way nor will it sway with remarks by people who do not believe in what I believe. I can't see trying to argue with someone who doesn't understand. I hold no malice towards them. My faith is strong and my eyes are set. I press towards the mark and am so thankful that I do believe in a God that I can call on and who has wrapped His arms around numerous times.

My posts do not necessarily mention WLS but I would hope you all know that my quality of life is so much better because of this surgery. Did you know that being obese promotes cancer? I had no idea!! My oncologist doesn't want me losing weight right now but that's not something I can help at this point. My desire to eat has been taken away because of the "Red Devil" chemo treatment I'm undergoing. I'm hoping that I can control my eating once this ordeal is over. Now, I've orientated my post to include WLS.

Keep me in your prayers or in your thoughts. I go this morning for another treatment and tomorrow for the shot that puts me in bed for at least 2 days. What's really important?????

I love you all,
DebbieDoo

I have got you in my prayers.I wish there were something I could do to make it easier on you but  prayer is all I can offer. But there isn't  day that goes by I don't lift your name up. I love you. Miss Mary

Mary, your thoughts, prayers and posts have uplifted me many, many times and you are an encouragement to all of us here on the Board. We know who you are and that you don't change with the wind....well, maybe underwear but not your personality.

Love you,
DebbieDoo

Debbie, your posts remind me of what's really important - all of the "stuff" that goes on on this board is merely entertainment for me.  When I'm bored, I read all of the "stuff" and sit back and shake my head that some folks lives are so pitiful that they seem to enjoy getting others riled up.

I'm praying for you.

Debbie,

Please know that I think of you often and pray for you daily.  I love ya bunches and hope to get to see you soon, maybe even get on those bikes for a ride.  DId ya notice my pink ribbon at the bottomof my posts?  It's for you my friend!

Luv ya!  Susan

Susan, I have indeed noticed your pink ribbon and thank you so much for your thoughts. You have been a true friend.

I had to sell my motorcycle. We ended up selling one of the trucks, the motorcycle and our 4 wheeler. They are just things and Leo and I decided we can replace them later. Right now we're fighting to keep bills paid. I never knew how expensive cancer and the treatments could be. I am so sympathetic to those that don't have insurance. Even with insurance it eats a hole fast. We still have Leo's Valkyrie and I would much rather ride with them on the back.

I love you girl,
DebbieDoo

Hi Debbie Doo!  I am so sorry, but I did not realize what you were going through right now.  You are a sweet addition to this board and I want you to know, I am thinking of you.

When you feel like it, please keep us posted on you.

You are such an inspiration to me.
With my Grandmother going thru chemo I use you as an example to her. She is having such a rough time. And I worry so much about her. I share alot of your upbeat positive posts with her.
I Thank you for that. And for your FAITH!!
Faith is so important to me. It is the most important thing to me. I suppose I don't have to tell you that. I Thank God for everything he gives me- because he blesses me with my life today the very breath I take and each thing in it. From my family to my friends to the small every day simple things.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers every single day!
Thank you for continuing to come here - and share with us!
I love you!
