Description
I sincerely hope, everyone will have a great weekend here on Renderosity.
I saw my family Doctor last week and I was given some disturbing news.
My cancer has spread to my spine and my ribs.
Unfortunately the prognosis is not good as to where it is located.
No surgery is possible.
They are going to try and dissolve the ones on my back and I have now started chemo for that.
They said now they just wanted to keep me comfortable.
I have been in such severe pain for the past couple of days and have had to go to ER to get relief, but I am definitely not giving up the fight.
I have come too far and been through too much to do that.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
All postwork was done in PSP9.
I added a frame, border and text.
All comments are most appreciated.
Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
This past week I have been in a surreal daze trying to cope with all this news.
You all help me in so many ways just being there to listen and your prayers help me tremedously.
Again, all comments are most appreciated.
Hugs
Susan~

Beautiful work Susan, as always. I am so sorry to hear your news, sounds like you have the same thing my friend had ....... please know you and your family and in my prayers and I truly hope for the very best for you! Hugs and much love!
Hi Susan, nice to meet you right back! I really thank you for visiting my gallery and your sweet comments. I just looked through your gallery, beautiful collection of loveliness! Your captures are gorgeous and I love the effects you use! I'm terribly sorry for the news about your cancer. But, after seeing beauty through your captures, I feel your spirit will fight and hopefully your body will also fight that cancer. And, if not, I'm so very happy we have crossed paths on our journeys. I wish for you a bright healing light. I wish for you a circle of warmth to ease your pain. Susan, you are now in my prayers and on mind, and the colors you have released here will be in my soul.
I am so sorry to hear about your news. My whole family is praying for your peace and recovery. I know this is news that is very scary for you and your family. I believe you have such a big heart to over come this. Fight as hard as you can and I think all these prayers are going to help. I hope the doctors can give you something for the pain you feel. Big hugs and prayers for you!....Shannon
Hi there Hunny. First your capture is really colourful and full of life. Then about you... I know sometimes it feels as if you're fighting a losing battle, but hang in there ok? There's nothing more powerful than prayer and we're all praying for you. My Mom is on a 2 month break from chemo at this stage, though she will never be in a remission again... She's only trying to buy time now... I hope you cope with the pain. Try and rest as much as possible when the pain is bearable and rather take something for the pain when it's still bearable, before it becomes out of control? You are in my thoughts and prayers my friend... Keep believing, Zellie

This is a super shot beautifully presented. I'm really sorry to hear about your cancer. A real blow. Have you tried Acupunture for your pain, my friend who has cancer throughout her body swears by it. Good luck with your treatments, I will be thinking of you.

Such friendly and cheerful colors and nice frame too! :0)
Susan it is wonderful to meet you my Friend. I am truly saddened to hear of the terrible news you recieved. Do not give up! Fight this with everything you can, your words tell me you are not going to be beaten and I will pray to God every day for your relief from pain and sucess in your struggle with cancer. My Dear Wife went through the same battle as you many years ago, the doctors gave her a few months, but she was still running around as best as possible, doing normal everyday things and driving her car for many years after that, and medicines in those days were not as advanced as they are today. Hang in there Susan. We all your friends here on Renderosity will be praying to God to show mercy and give you the strength to help you win. If you feel you need to talk, or ask me anything about anything. Contact me anytime of the day or night, I welcome you Susan. Big Hugs. Your pinecones pic is really beautiful and I look forward to viewing your wonderful gallery and many many more uploads from you. God Bless and Protect You. .........................Pete
One of your best! Love it! Bravo sis!*****!
I clicked here because I loved this adorable pine cone in its thatched roof house. I am here now because your courage and strength move me deeply and I will pray for you daily. My nephew had osteosarcoma on his shoulder and he just finished his last chemotherapy yesterday. His cancer is gone. I know if we pray and send well wishes your way that we can heal you as well. You are too special to lose so never give up the fight. Sending all my love.
Hi Susan , I will kepp you in my prayers and thoughts dear . This is a wonderful picture ! I will keep an eye on you from now on . blessings and wishes Elaine
Hi Susan. Maybe this is the first time we cross our ways. I heard about u reading a poem written from a common renderosity friend (brubright). I'm watching your galley and i can say you have a unique artistic point of view. I'm so sad for what is happening to you. You'll be in my prayers, for sure.
I apologize for commenting so late on this image, the cold weather has had my joints a little painful these days so I am a little slower at things but I really enjoyed this image. Your images are wonderful and I enjoy searching thru your gallery. I look forward to upcoming images and hearing of better days for you. Love and prayers, Brian
Beautiful work, kind soul. Wishing for you ONLY GOOD thoughts. My best, always. T.P.
Sorry to hears the news........Lovely picture, nicely done!
I saw your comment on Vjera last posting...I am so sad for what is happening to you. Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and wish for you soon better days ...hugs from Belgium ! Mary
hugs
You are very Brave dear keep your chin up and love and best wishes as always
Beautiful picture. I am sorry about your bad news. Don't ever listen to the Doctors for they don't know how long these things can be. My friend had cancer and they told her she had 3 months. Well she lived with it for 17yrs but sadly did pass last month. Still it wasn't the cancer that got her. I will keep you in my prayers.
