Hi, ladies. I am feeling a bit blue her right now.
I saw a reiki worker, and I felt things move out of me. unfortunately, the spot is still there on the liver. I am making choices soon about treatment options.
I spoke with my Medical Oncologist. I want to try the drug Avastin. It is being used in many trials on all sorts of tumors with some promising results. What they offer me now is known not to be very effective (how's three extra months with very little quality of life sound to you?) Needless to say I am willing to try Avastin and see how it works for me. There are studies that say it works a bit better with conventional chemotherapy, but I am thinking of just trying it by itself.
Hopefully, I will have very little side effects and can be a "normal" mom with my kids this summer. I just really want to be present and camp with them, sew, sit in the sun, walk outside, play a bit i nthe garden.
Just feeling like I need some prayers and hugs from all of you this weekend. I am so tired of depressing Friday news.

I'll take a break right now and walk up to the top of the hill behind my farm and talk to the heavens about sending you what you need to feel better. Oh, if only you could wake up tomorrow and the Reiki had sent all the pain up and away. Love to you sweet Clare.

Oh, Clare, I pray for your complete healing
Please, Lord, heal Clare. Use the doctors, the medicines, Clare's family support, the reiki, and our prayers to accomplish what we know you can do. Give her a strength and peace that passes all understanding. Bring joy in the face of worry. We know you can do this, Lord, and we ask your healing blessings on Clare. Amen

Clare, always go with your intuition! The Avastin is what you should use simply because that's what "you" choose to do....There comes a point in life where the doctor has to realize that you know your body and mental outlook better than they do. You are staying strong and don't stop..I know that you won't..And I guess what I mean by strong is "stay positive"...
Do you have any Labyrinth's nearby?? It is an excellent spiritual tool for bringing about balance, grounding and to receive healing energy. Lots and lots of Episcopal chruches now have Labyrinths and there are many retreat centers that use them. I highly recommend looking into that. I'll be happy to locate some for you in your area if you'd like me to..
I'm with everyone else in saying, If there's anything I can do for you just email me!!
Praying for your soul to be soothed, your energy leaks to be stopped and your heart to spring forth new life throughout your body.

Clare, I would try the Avastin too if I were you. I pray so for you every day. I pray for your good health to return and for you to be able to have the life you want with your family. When it comes right down to it, it is always the simple things in life that we treasure most isn't it. I pray that not only will you have the sumnmer you so wish for, but many more summers to come.
Love and prayers, Mary Jane
