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.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
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.
