My mother in law, Lil, was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus in 1958. She went through radiation & was told she'd have no more children. Radiation in the 50's, can you imagine?
In 1984, she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
In 1997, she began and continues to have multiple basal cell carcinomas removed from her skin.
In 2004, she was diagnosed with cancer in soft tissue of her abdomen. She went through surgery & chemo. She has been doing great with the exception of some residual effects from the chemotherapy.
My husband found out this week, that cancer has returned. She will begin chemo next week.....once again.
I would covet your prayers for her as she begins this journey, again. She has fought & conquered this nasty ole disease before and I pray she has the strength to win over it again.
She doesn't know I have a blog.
She doesn't even know what a blog is. However, if you feel led to leave a comment & let her know she was in your thoughts or prayers, if you would please also let me know which state you are from. I would love to print these out & give them to her next week before she goes to the hospital. I know it would touch her heart & lift her spirits.
Thank you my friends....

Wow! What a strong woman! I will be praying for her and she continues on this journey - to give her strength, courage and the peace that truly passes all understanding. I hope she is reminded (as well as you and your family) that God holds her in the palm of his hand.
Paige,
Tears are certainly rolling down my face as I know how hard this journey can be for the whole family. My Grandfather passed from cancer in 2000 so this certainly holds a very special place in my heart. She will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God is certainly with her and your whole family. SHE CAN DO IT!!!!! Hugs for her and your family! Know that I will be praying!
Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!

Since I am also a cancer survior this touched my heart!
To 'Mom' & 'MIL' & 'Grandma'! You are an incrediably strong woman with a kind heart. I am praying for you to endore another round of chemo and hold tight to your faith. Once more you will find peace and will recover from this. I wish you well and lots of good days minus the bad days. Find comfort in the little things and small happinesses! You are loved!

My thoughts and prayers are with your mil while she once again will deal with this terrible disease. She has gone through so much already and it seems unfair for her to suffer yet again. She is not alone ~ she has all of you with her ~ Love conquers all ~ I hope all of these messages will let her know that there are alot of people thinking of her at this time. Hugs from Patricia Ontario, Canada

I hope that she knows that her legacy of strength and perseverance through this terrible disease is a gift that she has given to each member of your family. Please know that I have said a prayer for her, for you and your family. (hugs)

Paige, I found your blog through the 3 Peanuts Blog. I am from North Carolina and I can tell you are a great Christian mom and have such a sweet spirit. You inspire me to be a better person and friend each time I read your post. You can put thoughts into words so beautifully. By the way, I love your choice of music. I will pray for your Mother-in -law. So sorry she is having to battle this disease again! At church today, we had a powerful sermon on Prayer, which I truly believe in. Please let her know that I am praying for her....even though I don't even know her.

Hi Paige,
What an amazing and resilient mil, I have added her to my prayer requests on my blog and will certainly lift all of you daily as she fights another good fight with the big C. The ultimate healer will hold her gently in His grasp as He has done before. What a blessing you are in her life, it is obvious.
Hugs to you,
Heather
Mrs. Lil...
I am a praying person and I'll be glad to lift you up everyday for a long time. It sounds like you are a very strong person and I'm guessing you have a strong testimony too! I live on the border of Ky/Tn with our front and back yard split between the two :) not far from Nashville.
Paige, your MIL sounds like an incredibly strong woman; she will perservere. She is a survivor! A divine request: Please God, bring healing - Exodus 12:13.
Hopeful thoughts and prayers from South Carolina.
Lil,
My love and prayers go out to you and to all who suffer. May God bless and keep you. Lisa in Michigan.
Paige, Your mother-in-law sounds like a very strong woman to have beaten cancer so many times before and she can do it again with all the strength she will receive from her family, friends and well wishers from the "blog world". Just keep thinking positively.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending sweet prayers for Lil. She is a strong woman from everything I have seen in meeting her. I pray for healing strength, for peace instead of fear and for a steadfast spirit to keep on fighting. I know your family is gathered around her in strength too.
"Be still and know that I am God"...these were wonderful words of comfort to me as I was going through radiation. Such simplicity to the words and yet so much promise. Your mil is in my prayers along with your whole family. I pray for healing and peace to you all. Blessings, Heather (from Ontario Canada)
several of you do not have an email or blog for me to connect back to you....THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking a moment of your time to leave such precious words for Lil.
i know she will be so touched
hugs to each of you
Sending many prayers to your MIL from Washington. I will be praying for God's healing.
She will be in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to your family!
I wanted to write this directly to your MIL since you said you would print this for her.
Dear Lil,
I will be praying for you. I know in my heart that you can fight this again. You clearly have an incredible strength, and that, with God's healing hand can do wonders.
I will pray for strength for you, as well as for your family during this difficult time. I will pray that God heals you, and keeps you strong.
Blessings,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Jeremiah 29:11 gave me great comfort a few years ago when I had cancer. I hope it can give you the same.
