Prayers

I received the following email from my friend Cheryl. For those of you that don't know, Cheryl was diagnosed with Cancer a couple of years ago and she beat it. She's been in remission for awhile now, and recently, the cancer has come back and seems to be worse than the first go round, and she is now on her second round of chemo. Please please please please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She tells me every day she's not ready to die and it breaks my heart. Hug your friends and loved ones folks, you never know when your time will come.

"Hey There - rough day. I am sorry to write this to all of you but I just cannot sit that long. I have not been looking at emails for about 4 days,s orry. I have been home since last Thursday. I was having a great deal of pain thru Saturday night, then it appeared Sunday and Monday I was doing better. Today we were at MD Anderson for 6 hours!!!!!! First, my blood tests came back and this chemo is evidently making it impossible for my bone marrow to make new red and white blood cells. They will be checking this again on Friday. If by next week it is not better, it "may be" necessary to do a blood transfusion, I m just believing it won't come to that. Then second, I had to go to "pain management control" because it is getting out of line. We will be seeing after the MRIs next Friday (to see if it has spread in my spine) and then the following Friday (a bone scan, cat scans, and x-rays) to see if this "particular" chemo is working of it in fact we will have to change to another. I will not stop believing tht my God is going to heal me, I know he is watching over me and I know he knows what is in store for me. All my children were to be with Jay and I this past week and it was awesome. Remember Jay in your prayers too, he is not feeling well himself, along with all that is going on, this has been really rough."

Oh, and I neglected to mention that Jay, Cheryl's husband, has a long laundry list of illnesses to his credit as well. One of which is Cardiomyopathy. Thank you to every one for keeping the Tomaski family in your thoughts and prayers. I sincerely appreciate it.
