Tonight we got a call from our niece that Dana's lil Sis was in emergancy surgery. They found both of her lungs had collapsed full of fluid. They had done a cat-scan on Mon. and she's been in severe pain. They did surgery to remove the fluid on her left lung, and found it full of cancer. She has stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, and it is totally gone from her stomach now. They put talcum powder in her lung to create scar tissue so her lung won't fill so quickly.Her family all knows ,but she won't be told until the Dr. comes in the morning. Now the decision has to be made whether to do the other lung, and more chemo. She has been doing 3 types of chemo for the past 3 months- for lungs, liver and the ovarian. It all depends on Karen & her hussband. They are so close, and he is really devistated. They have 3 grown children, 8 grandkids, & 4 great-grandkids ( yep, started early).Of course the family is taking it hard. Karen is such a positive person and has really lived her life the way she's wanted the past 1 1/2 yrs. There are so many tough decisions to be made - and Dana is having a hard time with all of this. They are 11 months apart, more like twins, and he always was her protector when they were kids, and very close.He lost his dad to cancer also, plus several female family members. Thanks in advance for your prayers, & thoughts. God is our Healer Redeemer- we are all praying for healing if it is His will, and for peace & acceptance, if it is not. (((hugs))) Ellen

Will be praying for tender mercys fro Sister in law and Dana.. So sorry... would be hard pressed myself should it happen to one of my sisters..(I have 5). Thank you father for you tender mercies at this time of need. I ask that you wrap your arms around Dana and his sister and the family as you work in their lives. Father we know that healing comes in many forms and not always the ones we choose but leaving her in your loving hands is the best we can do. Allow us peace during this trying time. Thanks you in advance for your touch in their lives.
