Please Pray for my Sister


For those of you that have been with us a while...you remember that my sister Shauna had a cancerous mass removed from her adrenal gland in early May.

The doctors thought that it had been completely removed but now she has cancer on her lungs and liver.

She will be going through Chemo 4 times a week for 6 months and will be taking some very aggressive drugs as well.

We know that this is going to be a difficult road ahead.

Please pray for her.

I want God to hear our cries for her morning~noon~and night....

She wants more than anything to see her babies grow up.

Please Pray that she can do this.

Please pray that she will not suffer and be in a lot of pain.

Please pray that she has the strength to fight this horrible disease.

Please Pray.

I will continue praying for Shauna, her doctors, and for all of her family! The doctors do not know the strength of Shauna, nor the power of our God to answer prayers providentially. Please let me know what else I can do. I love you all so dearly.

Definitely adding your sister in our prayers today that God will give her the grace and strength to carry her through the treatments that lie ahead, that she holds on to His hand through it all and in the end, God will be glorified with His healing hand on her life.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. I can't begin to imagine the pain that this has brought to your families. I will add your sister to my prayer journal.

Oh Lord, I just lift up Shauna to you this morning. You Lord know the disappointment and pain that this news has brought to Shauna and her family. Lord I just ask that you surround her with your love. Help her to feel your peace and presence during this very trying time. I pray that you will heal her body and help the chemo to erradicate the cancer, but keep her from severe pain and sickness. Comfort her as only You can.

In Your Precious name,
Amen

Tee said...

Thank-you all for your kind, encouraging wordds and prayers. This is going to be a very hard time for our family, but we are a tough bunch with lots and lots of love and we are not going to let this defeat us. Shauna is too precious to us to not fight and pray with all our might. She is our little ray of sunshine.

Thank-you again from the mom of these wonderful girls,
Teresa

I will add Shauna to my prayer list. Nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Thistle Cove Farm said...

Praying, every time God brings her name to mind, she'll be tucked into prayer. Her name will also be on the prayer list and will ask church family to remember her in prayer.

Gypsy Heart said...

My prayers will be continual for Shauna and the family. I'd like to recommend Chemo Angels if you or Shauna are not familiar with the organization. I've volunteered with them since '03 when I retired. Super, positive support for anyone experiencing cancer treatment. If you have any questions, feel free to email me!

God works miracles every day!

Unknown said...

I know this may sound weird, but I am from Spain and I have just found your great blog, and this is how I have learnt your sister´s story. My mother was detected a life-threatening cancer when I was only 9 years old and my sister a toddler, and no-one gave her a chance, but she did. She fought, prayed and tried to stay the happiest. The results? Doctors couldn´t believe she actually lived 10 years, when she was supposed to live only for six months. She died a few years ago, but I can tell you she won the fight, as your sister will do.
Since her passing away I don´t pray often, but tonight I will include your sister in my prayers and ask my mom to help her. I know she will do it gladly. She fought because she wanted to see us grow up.
I will also pray to Santa Gema, who worked miracles with my mother! And if you let me give you a little advice, I agree with the lady that suggested that you should make her eat whatever. With my mother worked well the proteinic supplements used to treat anorexia. And the best you can do is try to keep a light-hearted mood at home. I know this is terrible, but I believe that smiling a lot around a patient and trying to make the situation sound "normal" helps them a lot. My mom and I would speak about chemo and litterature and gossips as if all those things were normal subjects in a conversation :)
I am sure everything will work great for your sister and her lovely children, who will have her support and care when they grow up and speak about this situation as a bad dream that has just disappeared.
Best,
Beatriz

I will most definitely pray. In fact, I'll pray for us both as I too have cancer.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in January this year. The treatment is a difficult road, but one which has an end. It's a shame there is not a 'no entry' sign though LOL.
