On the way Jennell........

I am a classic lurker on this board and have gleaned much from you wonderful and experienced quilters. In reading this post I just needed to comment. My sister was just diagnosed with colon cancer in February. She was very ill for several months and the doctors could not figure it out. She became very ill and needed a colostomy bag, but in God's goodness they were able to reverse the colostomy a week later when the doctor went to get the tumor. My sister is now on a chemo regime for six months.

I am from a very large family and all us siblings are in the process of being tested for this cancer. This is a huge surprise for us because no one in our family has ever had cancer. I just got the results of my test and I had a precancerous tumor in my colon, I hugged my sister and told her that I owed her on because that most definitely would have become a tumor and I would not have been tested for at least five years. The polyp they found was in th exact spot where my sister's tumor was located.

All that to say that I will be praying of these two sisters...

Good thoughts and wishes are going out. Where all in Oz is Yvonne? Can one of us who are close help out with anything????

Prayers coming from Iowa!!

Hi Sharon, thank you for your thoughts and wishes for Yvonne - she lives in Keiraville, NSW (Wollongong). Her cousin in Oz will stay in touch with her by phone and will take her home from the hospital when it is time. Barb is waiting for Yvonne to go into her own room (with phone) so that they can talk to each other. I plan to make a card for her that will incorporate all the messages that everyone has sent for her from the ng - planning a couple of hugs also for the 2 sisters will keep me out of trouble for a while. jennellh (change the mail to news)
