Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Very interesting. I would not begin this without a lot of prayer support. I am telling as many people as possible and asking all of them to pray for me, especially the day of the surgery. Fortunately, all of my friends are wonderful praying people who are totally supportive. I go to a large church that has an intercessory prayer ministry so many, many people will be praying for me and it gives me a peace I don't think I could have otherwise. To all who request prayer, I always send up a prayer for you as soon as I read your request. I am sure that many others on this list do also. I also lift the good Dr. R up with every prayer. Best wishes to all. Pat Eppler Tyler, TX MGB 4-3 Prayer I have noticed several of you mention prayer to each other. I recently saw an article that some major hospitals have actually been studying the effect of prayer on people undergoing surgical procedures. They enlisted as many to pray for the patient during surgery as possible and found that there was a discernable difference and improvement for the patients who were prayed for as opposed to similar cases where there was no prayer. The article concluded that there was a possibility that someday soon there may be something like a department of prayer in surgical units. Interesting, Yes?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hi everyone.. I spoke with my mother tonight and found out some bad news. My brother had a test for colon cancer done and found out that he has a " mass " that is about 4 cm... Colon cancer runs in our family <everyone on my mothers side has died from colon cancer, and her uncle was only 26 when he died of it> and my mother had this same thing happen to her years ago. Luckily they caught it in time and they were able to get it all out of her before it spread.. She was told that this type of mass is almost always cancerous. The chance that it is not is about 1 in 10... Not very good odds.. My brother is only 32 years old.. He will be in surgery on Friday March 24th.. Please, I beg all of you. Please pray that they will be able to get it all and he will be free of cancer. God hears many voices easier than just one voice!!! Thank you..

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2000 Report Share Posted March 21, 2000 Hi .. I think I will.. Nahh.. If I am going to have ti done, iw ant to make sure they look at *everything*! Could you please tell me what the prep includes? Why is it yucky? If you want, you can email it to me privately.. Of course, this is information everyone could use.. In my thoughts and prayers, Terri btw.. My brother had the barium done.. I am so afraid to have one done since both my aunt and grandfather dies right after.. My aunt died <I was told> because of the toxicity... Do they do that with either procedure or is it a different test altogether? Hmm.. Maybe i should go research it?? hehehe >Terri, > >By all means, have the colonoscopy!!! It was SO EASY. I wasn't embarassed >at all. I was asleep before the Doc even touched me. I honestly woke up >and >could not tell that anything had been done to me! I do not recommend the > " Flex Sig " , which only looks in up to the sigmoid colon, not all the way >around, and you're awake. The prep (nasty, but you quickly forget) is the >same for both procedures. Please, put your mind at ease and go have it >done. > I feel so much better knowing for a fact that there is nothing " lurking " . >How is your brother? > Foshee ************************************************* *Please check out my website! * *http://www.mynewlife.homepage.com * *and don't forget about LITTER MATES!!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Sue R- my deepest prayers and thoughts are with you; god what an awful, awful tragedy. I am an ex New Yorker and I cannot believe what has happened. I am a human being always and the devastation is beyond comprehension. If I were healthy I would go volunteer. I used to live in the area of St. s Hospital. God, . I will pray. Love, Joyce Joyce Blavat, L.C.S.W. Time For You Coaching http://www.timeforyoucoaching.com Joyce@...
