Ahhhh Barb I am so sorry. Praying for you and your family. Only because you say you've been drawing near to God, I offer this promise from the Lord. It reminds me that when I am weak, God is strong. When I am weary, God is not. When I don't understand, God's understanding is limitless.
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
“All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
Isaiah 41:11-13 |

Oh Barb, this breaks my heart. It's funny how a much impact a person on the internet can have on your life. Someone you've never met and never will meet, but has become someone you spend a lot of time thinking about, praying for, waiting anxiously for the next update, crossing your fingers for good new, being devastated when it's not...that's what you have become in a lot of our lives.
I read this update and burst into tears. I so wanted it to be different. If I'm this upset by the latest news, I can't even imagine what your family is going through. My heart breaks for them. I'm going to hug my kids now. I still think you have the most amazing attitude, I can't tell you how much I admire that....you and your pouty pants
I couldn't agree more. Barb, you have had such an impact on my life over the last couple of months. I think about and pray for you often. I truly admire your positive spirit and hope that if I am faced with similar circumstances that I can be half the person you are.
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of hugs and love to you. | |

Barb, you will continue to be in my prayers. I am a big believer of miracles and I am praying for one for you.
Have you thought about making a video for your children and writing them letters to be opened at different times in their lives? Read one of those recordable storybooks for your children or a build-a-bear with a record of your voice. My grandchildren's other grandmother did this for them when she knew she was losing her battle with breast cancer. It is a precious memory for them.
I will still be praying for that miracle though!

WHY have they not found a cure for this damn disease already . It affects so many families, so many loved ones. It makes me so mad. I wish the rounds of chemo would have worked for you, Barb. Your battle has been a brave one, and you deserved better news. I'll be thinking about you and holding on to the God's promise for a better future in Isaiah 33:24 "no resident will say 'I am sick'."
