The house is feeling more like a home....each day things get closer to the end. Yesterday the family had dinner in celebraton of son Jeff's 40th birthday....he was most helpful on his visit getting things done....
Linda still hasn't heard the results of the biopsy as to whether there was enough tissue...they now say another couple of days....
As if financial difficulties weren't enough, a buyer of one of our properties 15 years ago...and we carry the contract..has had the house repossessed by the county for 5 years of non property tax payment...even though he has made the loan payment each month....and he is not returning calls....so today we have to pay the property tax payment in part to stop the repossession and forclose on him....it never ends....
Linda is doing well..all in all...I worry about her as I have noticed a "slide" as a result of no treatment or ineffective treatment for a period lof time..hopefully that can be stopped soon...

I'm going to take a minute here to describe something that happened over the weekend. Remember this, no matter what the results of any tests say, now or in the future.
Brace yourself.
I have a friend I met the first day of college. About 45 years ago to the day. Early this year, she called me, sobbing. Her younger brother had a brain tumor. So gigantic it was coming out his ear. He was already deaf and going blind. They told him it was "only a matter of time." Twelve weeks ago, his routine scan showed that the tumor's tendrils had disappeared. Six weeks ago, the TUMOR had disappeared. This week, he started back to work.
The doctors call it spontaneous remission. I praise God for this. Others give their thanks in their own way.
I pray many times a day for this to happen to you, Linda. Before I wasn't so sure it helped. Now I know it can. I believe, help Thou my unbelief.

Thank you Marjorie for sharing this story. I to BELIEVE....
Let the Magic begin:).
I have been reading a daily meditation called Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie author of The Language of Letting Go. So today is "Your Healers Will Come to You". At the end of the readings there is a quote/passage. Today's is:
"Let yourself receive the healing you need. Let yourself share your healing gifts with others. Find the balance that's right for you. Trust yourself and the wisdom of your body, mind and heart about what feel's right, who feels right, and when it works for you"
I love you Linda!
I am sending you Love, Strength and Wisdom today.

Hi Linda:
I had your blog address at one time but lost it so I am glad you and Dave responded to my Facebook page. I will now check your blog each day. I hope you can get into the OHSU clinical trial. I also went there for a second opinion when I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and they said I could possibly be a canidate for a clinical trial. As it turned out, instead, I was put on two chemo drugs which seemed to have worked. But I know someday I might approach them again to be considered for a clinical trial.
I don't know if you go to any support groups but I wanted you to know that I belong to one for gals with metastatic cancer and we meet every Wed. at St. Vincent Hospital. It is nice to talk to women who are in the same "boat" as I am. We laugh, cry and no subject is off limits. Because we all have metastatic cancer, I love hearing suggestions that some of the gals have concerning a problem they might have. I have received so many good tips about things to try and to stay away from. We talk about pallative care and what a good thing it is. Anyway, if you think you might be interested in attending the class sometime, let me know.
I hope your biopsy turns out okay.I look forward to reading your next entry and keeping up on how you are doing.
Hugs to you and Dave,
JO
Your move to Canby sounds like a good move for you. Remember Tom Renne? He and his wife moved there less than a year ago and love it.
Wow...today's comments are wonderful. The power of God is amazing. We believe! Love you, Darrell and Shar
Linda, how inspiring to hear todays story of prayer and healing! I, too, said a few desperate prayers 35 years ago when I was "diagnosed" with melanoma (then "death sentence") while pregnant with Guy ... in my case the lab had made "a mistake" and the second finding came back as non-malignant (growth due to pregnancy changes!)! It was just as much of a miracle for me and my family after 2 months of bracing ourselves for the worst. Life takes on a deeper sense of joy, faith, love and everything seems to rise to a new level. As we are praying continuously for that kind of news (first of all, that they got enough tissue to perform the biopsy to spare you additonal time and pain away from your new home!), we keep great hope and expectancy in our hearts for the miracles that still happen daily in our world! Like those rainy clouds passing over our house (probably yours too!) we look forward to "air being cleared" and sunshine beeming down on your health-picture in a renewing way!
Enjoy all your decorations and paintings,you are such an action-girl!
Love you soooooooooo much!
Glen & Sibyll
PS Glen is prepping for his colonoscopy tomorrow, in perspective an easy test.
All I can say is: Hang in there, guys. My love to you both, as always.
Ditto from us... I definitely don't know what else to say but know that we are all thinking and praying for both of you every day.
Take one day at a time, and enjoy your new home! :)
Jim and Swee
WOW am I ever inpired by the stories today. God does answer prayer and we all pray for you and your health daily. You are so in my thoughts every day. So much love coming your way. Hope to see you very soon. Love Judy
Exhale, tomorrow is Friday. Let's revisit what we believe in:
* We believe in spontaneous remission, what a fabulous concept
* We belive in the accomplishment of having children reach age 40. Good for them, good for us
* We believe in your healers coming to you
* We believe in love as a support for all things challenging. Love will hold you up, keep you strong, sustain you, wrap its arms around you - and we all love you so very much, Linda!

Linda and Dave,
Checking your blog every few hours to get the latest news. I sure hope it is positive for you and that you will be eligible for the clinical trials. If anyone is you should be. Love you both, Ginnie
