Great News from Peg!

Hi everybody! I am soooo glad to be back onboard! I have been going through a bit of a slump, and I need to be here and talking with all of you. God is so good...all the time! I'm so glad He carries us when we stub our toes or just don't feel like rallying. That's kind of where I've been lately. I know it's time for me to pick myself back up and get going! I do have GREAT news! I went in for all my tests, plus I had a follow-up endoscopy last week. There is no trace of cancer! Praise the Lord! I will continue following up with bloodwork every three months and seeing my pcp then, but I don't have to go back to see my gastroenterologist again. Yay! It has been 2 years on the 27th since I had my first surgery for stomach cancer. Then I had more surgery last August 12th. It has been a rough recovery, but I'm so grateful I didn't have to do it alone. I had the Lord, my family, and all of you. Just knowing I could always come here and read what you all were doing was such a boost, even if I didn't always post. One of the hardest things I have had to deal with is that best friend of over 30 years turned her back on my DH and me about 2 months ago. It was over a misunderstanding. We have tried a number of times to get in touch with her and her husband to work it out, but they just won't speak to us. It has been just devastating to us. I always thought they would be there, and now they're not. I really am having a hard time dealing with this, especially since my health has been so tenuous. I know I would never have done that to them. I have been praying about it alot, and have been struggling with depression and all its ugly rampfications....lack of sleep, tiredness, lack of motivation, overeating. SOOOO, now it's time to get back in the game! The game of life! I called Curves today and have an appointment to go in tomorrow morning to see if I am ready to start exercising again. My doctor gave the okay last week, so I'll see if I can do it. My DH and I are planning a little trip this weekend to go visit his folks. They live out of town, so this will be a big adventure to see if I can sleep in a different bed. Well, I could go on and on, but really, all I wanted to say is that I am so grateful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for seeing me and my family through this very difficult time in my life. I know I have learned alot about myself and about my loved ones. I am surrounded by a very wonderful family. I am blessed and content. God bless you all, and thank you for reading this. You all mean so much to me. Love and blessings, Peg

Peg, Praise the Lord for your wonderful health news!!! That's wonderful! I am so sorry to hear about the challenges with your best friend. I pray that God will work things out for you.

Hi Peg!! I have been out of the loop lately too. I am soooo happy to see you here and to know that you are cancer free! PRAISE THE LORD! I will be praying for you and your friend. I know that would be devastating for me if my best friend did that. I'm sure the enemy is trying to tear down something the Lord is doing. Good thing he has already been defeated!!! woohooo I hope you have a great trip and sleep comfortably! God bless you, love, candy
