Please Pray For Me

My dear friends, on Tuesday, I went to the doctor over a lymph node in my neck that seemed out of the ordinary. The doctor didn't seem to think there was much to it. However, I was also wheezing that day and struggling to get my breath so he ordered a chest view like a Cat Scan on my chest. I had that done on this past Thursday.

On Friday, I received a call to report to my doctor ASAP. I am in shock and terrified as I tell you I was told I have advanced lung cancer which has already spread to the lymph node in my neck. I was stunned to say the least.

I see the Oncologist next Wednesday at 9:00 am but the doctor gave me very little hope of survival saying the cancer was a very aggressive kind and was spreading fast.

I am angry, shocked, and terrified. I am asking everyone who reads this to pray for both me and my family because we will need strength, courage, and prayer to get through this.

I may not be updating the blog anymore, it just depends on what kind of time they say I have left. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME, and I thank you all in advance.

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. This is my first time on your blog - reading after Jen asked for prayers for you.

Hi, D!


It is possible to survive the bastard, no matter how aggressive it is, even when the odds are stacked against you. Don’t give up, think positive, fight it back with all your strength, because (and I do believe in it!) the healing power of the mind is unbelievable.Have faith!

No need to say that my prayers and healing thoughts are with you.

A warm tight hug!
