Melissa needs our prayers
Good Morning Everyone
I lurk around from time to time on the state messageboards near me, and I was on the Missouri board and found a post from our dear, sweet SMO sister Melissa. She needs our prayers. I'm going to attempt to copy her post here so you can all show her our support.

I need your prayers!!!! It isnt for me it is for my mother . As some of you remember she was in the hospital here not to long ago. And they thought it was her heart but it turned out to be her galbladder. Then last week we went back down cause they (doctors) found a spot around her lungs and they wantd to do a biopsy of it. Well the results came in today........she has Lymphoma Cancer
We dont know how bad it is until Monday when she has an appointment with the Cancer doctor. He will discuss what type of cancer she has and what are her treatment options. I dont know what to do. I am not by no means ready to lose my mother. I feel like I am spinning out of control right now. My sister and her husband are in North Carolina (truck drivers). My oldest brother is in Waco, TX (truck driver). DH (god bless his heart) and I will be leaving this evening to head down that way. My father and g-ma still dont know cause they are out shopping for my mother. I feel numb, scared, worried, sick, part of my brain say eat, eat, eat, and it will make the pain go away but I know that it wont help. I think I would really love to have a cig but I know that is just an old crutch that I got rid of a year ago. My heart feels like it is being ripped from my chest. And I dont know what to do.....
I am so sorry to be dumping you all of you. But your the ones I thought of first when I got this news. Please keep us in your prayers I dont know if I will have internet service down there at the house or not. I am going to take my laptop just in case. I WONT be at the support meeting on Monday cause that when her appointment is. But I will be in Columbia, MO for my appointment on the 12th. And then probaley back down to my parents house. Everyone of you here will never completely know just how importian you are too me and how much I love you all!!!
God Bless You All
Melissa
My heart and prayers go out to her, and for her mother.

Melissa, sweetie, I am so sorry! I wish I could make this all go away for you, but I will pray for your mom and you. You come to us anytime, don't ever apologize for that! We are here for you. You are doing the right thing by coming to us and stay away from the food and the Cigs! We love you, and will be here to listen anytime. ((((((HUGS))))))
