Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I sure will be thinking about you Helen. I am so lucky that I have the job I do. I work for the state department of education and my office is at home. I set my own schedule and as long as I create the professional development materials and do my presentations I can work whatever hours I want to. So, when I am up at night hurting I work and rest and go to physical thereapy in the day. I will say prayers for you.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hi, Everyone! I've been pretty quiet of late but have been reading emails almost daily. I don't usually do this but I am writing now to ask for everyone's prayers. I just got word today that Josh's old aide - a wonderful young woman with the world before her - was diagnosed at the end of May with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Before you offer your prayers, let me tell you something about Tanna. Josh was in Easter Seals inclusive daycamp and an aide had to be hired. We had bad luck with one aide and we were pretty apprehensive. Then they introduced us to Tanna. She was (she just graduated three days after her diagnosis) a hearing impaired/language/ communications major at Ill.St.Univ. She impressed us immediately by her innate ability to communicate with Josh, using the sign language we had used with him when he was younger. She engaged him immediately and, over the course of the summer, worked with him on his letters, his speech, his ability to communicate with the other kids, and she worked with the other kids to learn to play with Josh. Josh fell in love with her and we still, now four years later, still keep in touch with her. About a year ago, Easter Seals had a garage sale for a fundraiser and Tanna saw a Blue's Clues doll that she pulled out of the sale and made a point of saving/giving to Josh. And, when Josh was going to the State Special Olympics competition last Fall, Tanna made a special trip to the competition to see him. Tanna is wholly dedicated to kids with needs. In fact, she was hired by Josh's old school district to teach in the hearing impaired classroom - and she was to start just a few days after her graduation. Unfortunately, because of district budget cuts, as I also just found out, she was told right about the same time as her diagnosis that she would not be teaching (and the district cut several other teachers as well). So, now I don't know what her insurance situation is - without work and being cut from her parents' policy with her college graduation I don't know whether she even has insurance at this point. Indeed, she was diagnosed because she had to have a physical before being taken off her parents' policy and they found a lump on her neck that she had been ignoring during her final school year. I do know that she has already undergone 11 chemotherapy treatments and is looking at three years' worth ahead of her. Apparently, the form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma that she has is very rapid and is already in her bone marrow. So, now that you have some background on Tanna, I would certainly appreciate any prayers you have for her. I can't tell you what a wonderful young woman she is - I'm usually pretty good with words but there aren't enough for her. Thank you for your prayers. Sherry and Josh Sherry, I will say a few prayers for her. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Sherry, I will definitely comply with your request. My mom, who passed away when I was 7, had that disease. She was given 6 months back then and actually lived 6.5 years so there is hope. My cousin got it 15 years after my mom and has been in remission for almost 20 years. Hang in there! There is hope.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Lord, I thank you for Tanna, and what she recently accomplished. I thank you Lord for watching over her and taking care of her all her life. And Lord I just want to remind you of your promise, that when we pray for the sick they shall recover and when we speak to the mountain, to be removed and be cast into the sea, it shall obey us. Lord I pray right now for Tanna, that from the crown of her head to the souls of her feet, she is healed and I speak to the mountain of non-Hodgkins lymphoma to be removed right now from her body and be cast into the sea. That Tanna, you are healed in the name of Jesus. That non-Hodgkins lymphoma shall bow to the name of Jesus. Lord I thank you right now for answered prayer that Tanner is healed. Amen. And I shall continue to give you praise you. Your word O Lord will not return to you void. 'Jola (Jesus is the way the truth and the Life no man comes to the father but by him 14:6) [ ] Re: Prayers Please I will most certainly pray for her.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 thanks, chris! the docs are very hopeful for her because of her age and her otherwise good health. and, I did speak with her the other night and she is in really good spirits, which will also help her fight this. they expect her to go into remission after 2 to 3 months of chemo, and then they are going to do what sounded like " preventive treatment " to ensure there is no spread to the spine or brain. on the upside, even though the cancer is already in her bone marrow, it's only on the left so, if they determine a transplant is necessary, they can harvest from the right side of her body! pretty amazing. thanks for the kind thoughts. hope all is well with you and and the rest of your family!

She impressed us immediately by her innate ability to communicate with Josh, using the sign language we had used with him when he was younger. She engaged him immediately and, over the course of the summer, worked with him on his letters, his speech, his ability to communicate with the other kids, and she worked with the other kids to learn to play with Josh. Josh fell in love with her and we still, now four years later, still keep in touch with her. About a year ago, Easter Seals had a garage sale for a fundraiser and Tanna saw a Blue's Clues doll that she pulled out of the sale and made a point of saving/giving to Josh. And, when Josh was going to the State Special Olympics competition last Fall, Tanna made a special trip to the competition to see him. Tanna is wholly dedicated to kids with needs. In fact, she was hired by Josh's old school district to teach in the hearing impaired classroom - and she was to start just a few days after her graduation. Unfortunately, because of district budget cuts, as I also just found out, she was told right about the same time as her diagnosis that she would not be teaching (and the district cut several other teachers as well). So, now I don't know what her insurance situation is - without work and being cut from her parents' policy with her college graduation I don't know whether she even has insurance at this point. Indeed, she was diagnosed because she had to have a physical before being taken off her parents' policy and they found a lump on her neck that she had been ignoring during her final school year. I do know that she has already undergone 11 chemotherapy treatments and is looking at three years' worth ahead of her. Apparently, the form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma that she has is very rapid and is already in her bone marrow. So, now that you have some background on Tanna, I would certainly appreciate any prayers you have for her. I can't tell you what a wonderful young woman she is - I'm usually pretty good with words but there aren't enough for her. Thank you for your prayers. Sherry and Josh Sherry, I will say a few prayers for her. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Thank you so much for the prayer - I will keep it close along with all the other well-wishes that have come in.

And Lord I just want to remind you of your promise, that when we pray for the sick they shall recover and when we speak to the mountain, to be removed and be cast into the sea, it shall obey us. Lord I pray right now for Tanna, that from the crown of her head to the souls of her feet, she is healed and I speak to the mountain of non-Hodgkins lymphoma to be removed right now from her body and be cast into the sea. That Tanna, you are healed in the name of Jesus. That non-Hodgkins lymphoma shall bow to the name of Jesus. Lord I thank you right now for answered prayer that Tanner is healed. Amen.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I will keep her in my prayers!!!! God Bless her!!! melissa Re: [ ] Prayers Please thanks, chris! the docs are very hopeful for her because of her age and her otherwise good health. and, I did speak with her the other night and she is in really good spirits, which will also help her fight this. they expect her to go into remission after 2 to 3 months of chemo, and then they are going to do what sounded like " preventive treatment " to ensure there is no spread to the spine or brain. on the upside, even though the cancer is already in her bone marrow, it's only on the left so, if they determine a transplant is necessary, they can harvest from the right side of her body! pretty amazing. thanks for the kind thoughts. hope all is well with you and and the rest of your family!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I received this email from a friend today and would like to ask all of you to send healing prayers to my friend Frances. 1-25-08 From Frances Symons To all my Church Family: Well, after all these tests and Doctors Appts., we did not get the news we wanted. The cancer has spread, is in-operable. The recommended treatment is Radiation & Chemo. I meet with the Radioligist on Monday and again with the Oncologist on Tuesday to discuss in detail where we go from here. I am still optimistic. The Master Physician has my final destiny in HIS Hands. And I claim the promise of my Ephifany Star "Good Health in 2008". Keep me (and Dianne) in your prayers. Love You All....FrancesLove and hugs, Cherylvisit me at: www.myspace.com/senegaladyMay we learn to benefit the life of Earth with peace, humble in our needs, and generous in our giving.Joanne SunshowerWho's never won?
