I am very upset this morning, last night my younger and only sister called to tell my husband happy birthday and she informed me her colon cancer had returned. The soonest they can get her in for testing is June 7th!!!! I lost one of my younger brothers to colon cancer several years ago. Been praying and crying all night long. Just don't know quite what to do. She is in northern California, about a 5 hour drive from me, which I used to make with no problem. Don't want her to go through what my brother did.
The husband of one of my close friends just finished chemo for colon cancer. It was a long haul for him and his family. I don't know if you believe in prayer, but I will certainly say healing prayers for your sister and your
family.

Give all of this worry to the Lord. It won't give her one more day if you worry. Keeping you and sister in my prayers.

Darambo, your distress is completely understandable in the circumstances. It does seem, however, that she could get her testing sooner than Jun 7th. I recently had to have a test and the appt was more than a month out; I asked if there was a cancellation list and was put on that and would up getting an appt within 3 weeks of my call. Something like that might help your sister. You have my prayers for your sister's healing and for strength and peace in your family.

My Dearly Beloved was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012. He is now considered absolutely cured. The surgeon was afraid it had spread to the lymph nodes, but they were just irritated from the surgery. Follow rpayne14's advice - give it all to God. He can handle worries like this. (It worked for me, too! ) My prayers for your sister and for you.

May I ask the Community to prayfor her, also may I add her to the Mass list, if you agree please may I have a name. Take to heart darambo what Julian of Norwich said "All will be well" God bless you.

Hi to tomandray and CatLadyOKC. I have sent my e-mail address to "the staff". Hopefully will be able to tell you more about my cats--don't care to do too much here. I live in Winter Springs, Fl. It's about 30 miles northeast of Disney--on the other side of Orlando.

HI to both of you...good to be back. Hey elijah, love cats too. Used to have four girlies, All gone now, miss them. I used to live in Orlando, down the street from Sea World.
My sis had one of these, she loved it a lot. It had a lot of health issues and she found out later that they come with the breed. I don't know if that's true or not, does anyone else?
If they come from a strain that has been overbred, yes. The gene pool in the US of "champion" dogs gets smaller all the time, and inbreeding creates all kinds of problems.

Yes, she said they had been overbred. So sad to put animals through unnecessary pain with birth defects, just for the money. I know there are good breeders and I appreciate them very much. I just don't care for the puppy mills.
