Please pray for my friend Ruth. She is the one I spoke of awhile back. The one with peritoneal cancer (similiar to ovarian - she even has the brca 1 gene as does her twin and her dd's) Anyway, my poor friend has stopped treatment as of yesterday. She hasn't been able to eat any food for about a month and half now. She is on a 12 hour nutritional IV at home during the evenings. She has all kinds of blockages because of the cancer and chemo just isn't doing it anymore. So yesterday she called me to tell me this was the end. Hospice was called in today. I asked if I could see her but she said "um...I'll call you." I doubt that she will. Ruth is a very private person. I was able to tell her how sorry I was and that I loved her. I will miss my friend Ruth and ask each of you to say a prayer as you read this that Ruth's passing would go quickly and peacefully. Also, that she would acknowledge her Lord and Savior and "go" to His loving Arms.

Thank you friends.
