Shirley, Thank you for the update on Nancy! I have been wondering how she was doing! I will keep her in my pryers, along with the rest of the TQS family.

I have a concern. It may be a biggie, or it may dissapear as quickly as it came on. I thought I had a hip that might need replacing. There are days I can hardly walk, and days I cannot do stairs. And, then the next day I will be fine. I explained all of this to my doctor yesterday, and she is pretty sure, from all that I told her, that it is sciatica. Many nights I have a hard time going to sleep, due to the gnawing pain in my right hip, thigh and calf. I think I have experienced this off and on over the years, so would just like prayers to return to the "off" mode. Thanks!

Lifting prayers for Nancy.

More than happy to pray for Nancy! Asking God's total healing quickly. Also I pray the doctors gain a lot of insight from Nancy's participation in the new drug. This could be helpful to others and wouldn't it be something if we're knocking on the door of a cure? May God bless Nancy with peace, strength and relief of any pain during this ordeal.
Blessings,
Jane

Hi everyone! When I got home from Houston, there was some news from Nancy Wooten (mailto:Ncwwriter@aol.com) about the results of her Pet Scan she recently had concerning her cancer treatments. To recap, Nancy has been undergoing a long series of chemo treatments to reduce the size of a large tumor behind her knee that made it very difficult if not almost impossible for her to walk. The results were not as good as we were hoping they would be because other parts of her body have been affected too. I received her permission to share some of her words with you:

"I just got back from an appointment with my oncologist. I start another type of chemo next week with a new type of drug. The odds are at 30%, but hey it beats no percent!!...Thank you for the offer of asking the TQS prayer warriors for help. I would really appreciate it if you could do that.... I believe in the power of prayer....Thanks for the prayers, I'm sure I'll need them and I'm sure they are working!"

She has been one strong trooper through this whole ordeal the past year and has kept her spirits high regardless of how tired she was from the chemo treatments.

I'm getting long winded here, but I remember the first time almost 2 years ago when I first saw photos of a beautiful prayer shawl Nancy had made for a friend who was very ill. This lady has always answered "the call to help" when someone needed her support and prayers. Will you please put Nancy on your prayer list and pray that this new chemo drug helps her. From the bottom of both our hearts, thank you so much.

Hugs,
Shirley

Karen, your daughter's migraines sound like a taste of HELL! My 39 year old daughter has had them since high school, prompted by her menses and the cycle. Definitely related to hormones. She had none, however, while pregnant. Thinking positively that perhaps your daughter might have that benefit too! She finally uses Imitrex and finds good relief if taken early enough.

She also finds certain scents really trigger it. I think the hospital (I'm a nurse too) should be willing to take a look at the 'scents' in response to being informed, but then, in this employment market, it's probably a little scary to 'make waves!'

I'm sorry I haven't been commenting as I should here on the prayer list but I have been trying to keep up and pray for all the needs listed. You all mean a lot to me and I feel privileged to pray for you. I have to admit that sometimes I get mixed up, or forget, exactly who made which request and I have to go back and try to find it and read it again. But when I get like that it just makes me even more grateful that I know God doesn't forget or get mixed up! ever! And each and every prayer request is important to Him and He has it all under control.
