Good wishes for a couple DIS'ers....

[Dan Murphy]

As many here know, Tiger Fan (Lisa) has been fighting a rather virulent breast cancer, Inflamatory Breast Cancer (the same type that stole our friend Sylvia from us several years ago) for some time know. She refers to it as 'the beast' and it truly is. But it can be beaten, so many have shown that.

Lisa has had surgeries in the past and has been on a constant chemo treatment for some time now. Well, they found another tumor in her remaining breast and after the mammogram the radiologist felt it was malignant. Lisa had a surgical biopsy on Monday and is awaiting the results. Please keep Lisa and her lovely family in your thoughts and prayers, she sure can use them in her battle of 'the beast'.

Also, another DIS'er, Kmr (Kathi), herself a breast cancer survivor of a about 2 years, has her hubby, Gerry, fighting the battle. He was diagnosed last year with a most deadly form of cancer, and not given all that much to grab hold of in the hope category. But hope, prayers and medical helps have brought Gerry a long way. Kathi says.......'Gerry’s tumors are shrinking! The dr. said he is a walking miracle! He is going to have 2 more chemo treatments and then do another CAT scan and see what’s what. His back is still bad, though and he will always have to wear his brace from now on. No real activity for him anymore – but if that is the worst of it (we have our fingers crossed) we’re doing pretty good.' Please do keep Gerry, as well as Kathi and their family in your prayers and good wishes also.

So much appreciated all everybody does here on the DIS, for us, and others. Family.

Dan

Thanks for posting this, I will certainly keep them in prayer.

Cancer really is a beast isn't it? Unpredictable and has a mind all it's own, but the Bible tells me that "all things are possible with God", I know He can concour the beast, actually He already has, we just need to have the faith to believe.

Continuing the prayers for all - and anyone that needs them - I'm finding I'm saying a lot of them lately for myself (not because of medical reasons but others). Always happy to help with the prayers!

Thanks Dan. Will be adding them to my prayers. Hope someday we can look back and say.."Remember when cancer was a big deal?"

Continued prayers for both Lisa and Gerry. And for all the other DISers who are facing "the beast". It's a shame that the nations of the world cannot find a way to cooperate so that we can fight the true enemy to all humankind.
