These are the colors that represent the different cancers.
Do you know or have anyone that was diagnosed with cancer? light a candle for them...
In Memory of....
In 1982 I lost my mother to cancer. she had a tennis ball size mass on her lungs. And yes she smoked cigarettes. My mother was 60 yrs old.I have a brother and sister that was diagnosed with colon cancer last year. Tom, my oldest brother found out when his was already stage 4 and while doing well, isn't doing all that well. I haven't heard from my sister how she is doing but know that she has had surgery and all I know to date on her, is that she is doing OK. This past summer Our knitting group lost a dear friend to breast cancer at the age of 47, and left behind 2 teenage sons. I have a niece in Iowa that was just diagnosed recently with Melanoma. Another good friend of ours found out that he has Pancreatic cancer, My husband has gone to see Mr Wicker a few times and related back to me that he is not doing to well. Mr Wicker and his wife Linda are, our camping buddies. Pancreatic cancer is a nasty cancer to have. Well truth be told any cancer is a nasty thing to have. So out of thought and love, I will light a candle and say a prayer to them. And to everyone else out there that has been diagnosed with cancer, I will say a prayer for them too.
I hate that "C" word!!! I lost two friends to it last year and a neighbor passed away from pancreatic cancer. I have a dear friend that found out just before Christmas that she has brain tumors. She had surgery last Monday and it is...the "C" word. They said it's a very fast growing type and that she has tumors now that weren't there a few weeks ago. :-( She's very positive though. I believe there's a lot of healing power in that. We'll hope and pray that the radiation and medications can at lesat slow it down.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were different colors of ribbons for different cancers. That's interesting.
Sorry to here about your friends. It is hard. I must have had a premonition (not that I am a psycho;) when I wrote about him last night, that prompted me to write something. It is something that happens to me. So I try and not think about things of that nature usually because I haven't had any thoughts about my brother and he isn't all that well, but is very positive that he will beat it.
