update

If you will remember about 6 months ago I had brought a prayer request up. It was for my friend Diane who had just found out that she had colon cancer along with being pregnant. WHile she delivered a healthy baby boy Andrew, she has now received some really bad news. SHe is not being told how long she has, just what they can do to keep her alive. she is going to be on chemo for the rest of her life. SHe is no longer a surgery candidate, she has new tumor growth and her lymph system is now involved. she is heart broken, as is her husband Michael. SHe is angry, frustrated, upset, depressed, worried....she is so worried about her baby boy and her husband. she wants to live and that is a good thing, but at the same time she has to deal with the fact that she is not going to be here as long as she wants. SHe has posed the question, what cruel joke is God playing on her. while I try to comfort her and give words of encouragement, I too wonder what is up with this? I know that all things have a purpose, but I wonder what purpose this will serve? A baby without a mother, a man without his wife, a mom without her daughter, sister without sister, friend without friend. What she is having a time with now is the doctor telling her that they will give her chemo to get her to Christmas and then do another MRI at that time and see what if anything can be done to just get her by day by day. That is no life, what is she to do? How is she to look each day and make it through? UGH. I am so frustrated for her. I have told her that I would pray, but I feel so bad almost as if there is more that I am to do.........I hate this helpless feeling. I hate cancer. her cancer started out just like my grannies, so this is bringing up some memories... I o not want her to go through what Granny did. Please pray with me...her name is DIanne ROTH and her husband is Michael and baby is Andrew. thank you.
