PRAYERS NEEDED!!!!!!

I need your prayers!!!! It isnt for me it is for my mother . As some of you remember she was in the hospital here not to long ago. And they thought it was her heart but it turned out to be her galbladder. Then last week we went back down cause they (doctors) found a spot around her lungs and they wantd to do a biopsy of it. Well the results came in today........she has Lymphoma Cancer We dont know how bad it is until Monday when she has an appointment with the Cancer doctor. He will discuss what type of cancer she has and what are her treatment options. I dont know what to do. I am not by no means ready to lose my mother. I feel like I am spinning out of control right now. My sister and her husband are in North Carolina (truck drivers). My oldest brother is in Waco, TX (truck driver). DH (god bless his heart) and I will be leaving this evening to head down that way. My father and g-ma still dont know cause they are out shopping for my mother. I feel numb, scared, worried, sick, part of my brain say eat, eat, eat, and it will make the pain go away but I know that it wont help. I think I would really love to have a cig but I know that is just an old crutch that I got rid of a year ago. My heart feels like it is being ripped from my chest. And I dont know what to do..... I am so sorry to be dumping you all of you. But your the ones I thought of first when I got this news. Please keep us in your prayers I dont know if I will have internet service down there at the house or not. I am going to take my laptop just in case. I WONT be at the support meeting on Monday cause that when her appointment is. But I will be in Columbia, MO for my appointment on the 12th. And then probaley back down to my parents house. Everyone of you here will never completely know just how importian you are too me and how much I love you all!!! God Bless You All Melissa

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I hope that the doctors discover that your mother can be easily treated and that she will make a full recovery. Try to take care of yourself, too. Stress can be very hard on a person! Pamela

Melissa, I'm so sorry this is happening. There are many treatments available now, and there are many cancer survivors in this world. Try to stay strong and take good care of yourself. While I totally understand why your thoughts turned to food, eating won't help your mother, and it isn't going to help you either. Hang on to your DH. He will help support you. I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Take care. Linda

Mellissa your family is in my prayers. I am sorry that your mother has to go through this but I know that God will give her the strength to come out the other side. There are so many options in treatment now. Email me and I will give you my phone number in case you want to talk. Wayne

Melissa , You and your Mom will be in my prayers.Stay strong. It is good that you recognize your crutches as that when they come knocking on your mind. Reach out we are here. Dannielle

I will pray for your Mom. This is a stressful time just try not to turn to food because it will not help. Sometimes we just have to trust in God and let him take care of our problems. He is ready, willing , and able to do so.

Melissa, You are and will remain in my thoughts and prayers through this entire crisis. As someone stated above, there are many new treatments for this nowadays and I know from a professional in the health field. Medical technology is wonderful, and so many avenues are at hand. I believe in prayers so remember to always keep the Lord close to you. If I can help in any way please email me. Colette

Melissa I am so sorry you and your family are going through this right now, but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Come Monday I pray they find it is something that has an easy treatment option and that she heals and recovers quickly. Take care of yourself during this time as well, old crutches like cigarettes and food are no good for us. If you need to talk feel free to email me. Take care, Anita

Melissa, Your mother and family have been added to my prayer chain...and my prayer list....Just always remember God only gives us what we can handle...May God keep you and your family in his loving arms. God bless Rachael

Oh honey....((hugs)) I sat here and read your post and I felt so sad for you.... I know how much you love your mom... it is evident in the way that you talk about her. Please know that we are all praying and pulling for your family at this time. I know that it might seem dark right now but we have to rely on our faith and BELIEVE that the good Lord is there for us. He is watching over your mother and the rest of your family. Don't you ever worry about dumping things on us... that is what we are here for... we are your OH "family" and if you can't share with family then WHO can you share with... We all loves you loads and bunches and want nothing but the best for you! Please keep us posted and stay strong for YOURSELF and for your mom! ((hugs)) Elizabeth~
