Please Pray

[Mary Jo]

Hey friends,

Would you all please say a prayer for protection for a friend who has been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian/peritoneal cancer. She had surgery 2 weeks ago - oh my gosh - the poor girl was virtually gutted. I know it sounds horrible described that way, but that is about the extent of it. Anyway, she will be starting intraperitoneal chemotherapy on May 7. I know Taxol will be one of her chemo drugs. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is done through a cathetar in her abdomin. I read up on a bit so I'd understand better what she will be experiencing. It sounds like incredibly tough treatment - very very hard on the woman. My friend, Ruth is only 99 pounds - a very small, petite woman who is even smaller now since surgery.

I'm trusting in God and the power of prayer to protect her throughout this. To help her through it so she is able to complete it. Almost half of the woman who do this type of chemo are not able to complete it due to many complications. Please, please offer up a prayer for Ruth. I know you all will and thank you in advance.

Love & hugs,

Mary Jo

Dear Mary Jo,
It seems like the older we get,the more emotional tsunamis we are challenged with. How devastating for your friend Ruth. It is our privilege to pray for her.
Dear God, you are the ultimate physician; please be with Ruth and hold her troubled soul and broken body in your arms. Fill her with your healing holy spirit. Bless her, comfort her, fill her with peace and keep her safe.
God spirit and blessings be with both of you.
Love Kim From CT

Dear Mary Jo,

I will certainly hold Ruth in my prayers. I know a woman at our local cancer support center who was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer like over 12 years ago. She had the interperitoneal taxol and I think carboplatin before it was commonly done - and feels this saved her life. Please tell your friend Ruth not to lose hope!

Love
Chris
