Thank you friends, for thinking of me and sending your prayers. I found out tonight that I have breast cancer. I don't have many details as of yet but my tumor is fairly small and the doctor thinks that most likely it hasn't spread; but he can't guarantee it. I will find out more on Thursday after some more tests and we'll go from there. It's hard to type this without crying.
It's hard tonight. I knew inside that it was cancer but I didn't want to hear it. I know also that it won't kill me. I just feel it. And I'm going to fight with everything I have. I love life and all of the good and bad things about it. I know that I will change inside and it will be good. I know that blessings, rich treasures will come from this, also.
Love to you all.

Dear Lisa,
I am so sorry, the last couple of years have been such a challenge, so many changes and now this challenge. Keep crying. Please do some gourd work, fimo work- any kind of image making around this challenge...go inside and let the images flow around this. Just let the creative symbol making and the tears and writing flow ....I know that it changes the body, it is one of my favorite tools when I work with clients that are being present to a diagnosis of cancer- or any thing that is challenging their life. Share and talk about your imagery whether it is dreams, visual art or writing, your singing it where you feel safe. I have always sensed that you are one strong wise woman, I am sure that this challenge will only enrich your beingness, enriching the strong and soft. If thoughts of others can help, trust that my thoughts are with you. love gaye
Lisa I'm sorry. I know you must feel so ....something terrible there is no word for. Know that I'm still praying for you and your family too. I think that prayer is the strongest medical tool there is. Also have hope, because you are in this time. 2007, not an earlier time. So much progress has been made that it is no longer a "sentence". I believe you are going to be ok.
Oh honey, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. One person shouldn't be given so much to handle, but you seem to handle things that would crush other people with such an amazing kind of grace. That is not to say you don't rail and storm and cry - just that despite it all you still do amazing things in and with your life. I'll be thinking of you and rooting for you to get through this challenge.
((((((Lisa))))))What can I say, except I am sorry to hear this.*wiping tears* I was so hoping and praying that it was not going to happen. I do know one thing, you have proved that you are a strong person, in some of the things that you have had to deal with. I too have a feeling that you will come through this just fine. What you know so far, seems to hold a lot of promise.
Let's pray that the tests on Thursday will be good news for you. My prayers and thoughts remain with you.
LISA,
I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR THIS, YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE IN MY PRAYERS. LOVE TO ALL THE FAMILY AND BE STRONG YOU WILL BE FINE....YOU ARE STRONG AND I HAVE FAITH IN THE POWER OF YOUR WILL.

I am really sorry Lisa to learn this . I understand your distress but the tumor is fairly small so it was the beginning and it is not spread . But it ' s always an anxiety . I am relieved to see you have decided to fight and you will win .
I think of you , Lisa .
Love

My first visit. Hopefully this potentially devastating news will instead turn out to be something that ultimately enriches your life. I know of one or two women who would actually say such a thing! May you be blessed with upbeat endurance and strength.
Lisa
My prayers are with you. Keep thinking positive thoughts and I know that you will get through this.

Just stopped by to give you a hug. (((Lisa)))
Well, if it doesn't kill us it's supposed to make us stronger . . .
