My Hero needs you
Friday, April 15, 2005

Some of you know that the women in my family have faced many trials including breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer. So far, they have survived and fought to educate other women about the possibility, discovery, and treatment of cancer. One of my aunts, my hero, a woman I spent a lot of time with during my childhood, has had a particularly trying year. Doctors were worried the cancer had returned. She had a biopsy last December. Now she faces another hurdle, renal failure. Doctors are scrambling to find the cause of the kidney failure and she is waiting for their words of wisdom and course of action. She’s had so much poison pumped into her body over the years, that her kidneys were not looking pretty before this. We hope to stave off dialysis as long as possible; we don’t want her body to depend on the machine. There is a possible cause…I pray to God it is not it. It is one of my nightmares. I’d hate for someone to live the reality of my dreams.

In addition, her son has recently enlisted in the corps. I’m not sure when he leaves for basic, but I do know he has requested an infantry assignment. As you can imagine, her brain and heart are on overload right now. Her body is rebelling against her and her only child is leaving home. He is a good kid, a bit too much like some of us for his own good (hehe), but he’s intelligent and fit and has a huge heart. Keep them both on your prayer list.

My candles are lit and my rosary ring is well worn.

I hope things work out well, TWG. I'm sorry this has to be happening.

I will gladly get everyone I can to pray for them (including me).

I will certainly pray for them both, and I know a few people who would be more than willing to pray for them as well.
