Special Prayer Request

This week our family received some very difficult news regarding my Aunt Rosie. Last week Aunt Rosie went to the doctor to have a cough looked at and some shortness of breath she was experiencing. To everyone's disbelief, the chest xray indicated a spot on her lung. Following a CAT Scan on Friday, it was confirmed that there was a large tumor on her lung. Tuesday we received an update that the cancer was in Stage 3B. Additional tests will be performed to determine if it is Lung Cancer Stage 3B or Breast Cancer of the Lung Stage 3B. We are crossing our fingers that it is the Breast Cancer of the Lung because there are more treatment options (I think). There is so much we still don't know. Aunt Rosie has her next appointment next Friday, May 25th.

Aunt Rosie is a 12 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. She has beat cancer once, and while I know this cancer is more aggressive, Aunt Rosie is a fighter. If anyone has strong will and determination to kick the shit out of this, it's her. A side from this beast in her lungs, she's as healthy as a horse! Doesn't smoke, excercises regularly, good diet....all the good stuff that should prevent this nonsense. If there is anything to take from this, it is that life is unpredictable and not always fair. I could fill endless pages with all of the love, generosity, a good spirit that is my Aunt.

So, I am asking everyone who reads this...Family, Friends, Co-Workers, Strangers...anyone... Please add my Aunt Rosie and her entire family to your prayers. Prayers are powerful, and we need them in heaps and bundles.

With love,
Susie
