My Husband Richard has always been healthy, never missed a day of work. Well now they have found cancer in three places. The very
strong pills they give him, seems to help with the cancer growth,
but the side effects made him feel pretty sick. He has lost a lot of weight. He is at home, we just have to go every few weeks for
updates. Something new to except do the best we can. He is eating
better then he was, he does as much as ne can, and rests or sleeps a lot. All the kids are in and
out and bring us whatever we want, if I don't get to the store.
I really don't have to many addresses of some of you.
I have been making some hand made cards to keep busy. Already made
8 afghans, gave some away. Did a lot of embroidery. So making
cards keeps my mind on something besides Richard, sort of.
Anyway had to tell somebody, so thank you for reading this.
Hugs Nancy Jo

Heavy sigh, I'm so sorry to hear this but after another dear friend had cancer badly, she is now cancer free after a year of therapy and diet changes! There is great hope, especially if he was so strong and healthy before!! Praying positive healing powers in his life and peace for your heart Nancy Jo!

Sending fervent prayers to heaven asking for healing for Richard and strength for you Nancy Jo. I am Catholic and St. Peregrine is known as the patron saint of cancer patients, AIDS victims and others suffering from serious illnesses. Here are a couple of prayers to ask him for his intercession with God on your behalf.
This first one is for those afflicted with this deadly disease:
St. Peregrine, whom Holy Mother Church has declared Patron of those suffering from Cancer, I confidently turn to you for help in my present sickness. I beg your kind intercession. Ask God to relieve me of this sickness, if it be his Holy Will. Plead with the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Sorrows, whom you loved so tenderly and in union with whom you have suffered the pains of Cancer, that she may help me with her powerful prayers and loving consolation.
But if it should be God’s Holy Will that I bear this sickness, obtain for me courage and strength to accept these trials from the loving hand of God with patience and resignation, because he knows what is best for the salvation of my soul. St. Peregrine, be my friend and patron. Help me to imitate you in accepting suffering, and to unite myself with Jesus Crucified and the Mother of Sorrows, as you did. I offer my pains to God with all the love of my heart, for his glory and the salvation of souls, especially my own. Amen.
The second of these prayers to St. Peregrine is for others’ intentions.
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying) Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
