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~

Susan, I am truly sorry to hear of your recurring bout with Cancer. A plaque that was given to me several years ago, when my health went into it's downward spiral. It read like this, REMEMBER YESTERDAY--CHERISH TOMORROW, for GOD NEVER GIVES US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE. I look at this everytime, when things look bad and it seems to help me. I just wanted to share this thought with you. Hope it helps, thinking of you. Love your picture.
dear Susan .. Please read with particular care the post from "STEVIEUKWONDER". Pain alone will diminish your ability to fight back, pain will take you into depression and that will diminish your ability to fight. Pain and depression may even diminish your creativity, and you will need that to help you throught the times ahead. You MUST demand pain care, addiction to pain meds should not even be considered an issue .. you manage the pain NOW, and deal with anything else later. DEMAND relief from pain. Please. You will be in my prayers too. Your pine cones are the most exquisite things I've seen in a while. Awesome.
Oh Susan, this is soooo pretty!!!!! I'm so sorry I haven't been around at all lately; daughter has been playing in so many tournaments; i hardly have time to do any laundry! another game early morning... I'm so sorry to hear you are still not feeling well. How much can a person take. ((((HUG)))) I will be thinking of you Susan..
