Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Yep, it's me again.....I hope I haven't used my quota yet but got a dear friend who could really use your support, grace & love. Her name is JoAna, age 52, dxed with stage 3 breast cancer. Today, she is shaving off all her beautiful long blonde (dyed lol) hair & trying on wigs before she gets sick as a dog on Monday when she starts the 1st of 8 rounds of chemo - you see her tumor is too big to remove until they can shrink it - time is running out as the tumor is starting to metastisize (sp) to her other organs.
Thank you Lord, Amen.
Note: No blame but she never had a mammogram in her life - too scared & just found a lump. Please ladies over 40 especially - get your mammograms - early detection is key to breast cancer.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
if she has no mets...then even stage 3 is curable. big strides in breast cancer.
i'll def pray for her.

get those mamo's ladies.....get those colonoscopies everyone 50, or with history. be aware of your family history and make your docs aware. NOT being tested doesn't cure u...ignorance is not bliss, as far as cancer goes. take advantage of the tests and screenings we DO have now, that others have died to provide.
thanks
She is at the best Breast Center in NorCal. They will cut out the tumor or a mastectomy but need to treat all the surrounding areas, lymph nodes, etc. because the cancer is very aggressive. She is one of the coolest, nicest people I know. No children but a great husband & tons of friends.
Also, Dudes - get your prostate checked.
