Well this New Year is starting off with a BANG with me doing a bit better. The knot on my neck and bone morrow test is Negative for lymphoma. Thank You Lord ! ! ! !

I found out that I am anemic and have no iron in my bone marrow.......so I have been placed on iron pills for a month and then the doctor will see if I am improveing. If not he might place in the hospital to give me iron intraveniously to get it in my system.
Daddy will have a central line inserted into his neck Monday,,Jan 12, I too will have an EDG on Monday Jan 12th for the doc to look into my stomach and make certain I am alright and have no issues there.

Wes is hanging in their....his Hemochromatosis is driving his neuropathy crazy but the doctors tell us that their is no cure for him and they have now placed him on Morphine, Lortab, and several other pills trying to help him cope with the disease. He has only a good 2 years of life expentacy left we have been told several times however;  God is in control and it is his will for Wes that we all have to accept. I just take it one day, one hour, and even one minute at times. I stay positive that he will continue to do what is best for Wes and what is best for me. My God is in Control, not a doctor, not me, but himself-Our  Heavely Father from up above.
 
Best Wishes to Everyone !     Love to you all!   Take care, be safe, eat right, take your vitiamins, and write soon........Tana

Greetings To Everyone, Just a note to say Hello and that I am doing good. Wes is not that well but at least he is at home this Christmas. We all should be thankfull for what we have. Jesus is the real reason that we celerbrate the Christmas Season.... My Dad goes back to the Cancer Clinic on Jan 22nd for more test and we will go to the doctors the 23rd to determine where he stands and what date he will start the Chemo Treatments. Did I mention to you all that I have a knot that came up on my neck - same side that Dad did and I went to the doctor who sent me to the oncologist - who did a bone marrow test on me Dec. 8th who told me on Dec 16th that I DO NOT HAVE Cancer........at this time. Thank you Mighty God for that news. I did find out however that my bone marrow test told the doctors at UAB that I am iron deficient and very anemic.....so I am now taking more extra vitimins to help bost my system. I will go back to the Oncologist in Feb to see where my levels are at that time. Any suggestions...........write me and let me know. Everyone I wish you a Very Happy Holiday Season and a Prosperious New Year for 2009. May our Mighty God lay his hand on all of us and bless us to have a great new year.

Hello Everyone,

Everybody Christmas is on the way. Time to get out all the decorations and begin decorating the house up (inside and out). SEND me an email with pictures of you, the kids, the house, the snow,,,,,,,,whatever.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

 

 

Hello Everyone, 

Just checking in to update everyone on me. i am hanging in their. My weight is still holding its own. Yes I gained some weight and I have cut back on not eating as much.

My Dad is about the same. He is going to have a central line inserted the first week in January and start his cancer treatments the last week of January. He has stage 4 SLL and another cell that could turn out to be a faster type of cancer. That is why they are giving the chemo threw the vein....per the doctor. They will start off at 3 days a week and it will last for 14-22 weeks...depending on how fast it kills off the cells and how well he adjusts to the treatments.

Me, well I have went to my family doctor and he agreeded with me that my glands on one side of my kneck are swollen so I have an appointment on Dec. 2nd with a cancer specialist. I hope to get an evaluation and talk to him about doing a bone marrow test so I can find out if I have cancer of any kind as well.

I am the type person that would rather know than not know.  That way I can start treatments if something shows up. Oh well, no need to worry just know that I am in God's Hands too.

Love to all and Happy Holidays!

Love the family and ones that are around you. Do something kind for someone special and let them know you care about them. So much of the time it is the little things that matter the most.

Dear All,

Can you see the change in the leaves? Do you know that it is almost time for Thanksgiving? Yes it is.....the leaves are changing and the time of the seasons are here. Thanksgiving is aorund the corner and I am sure we all have a lot to be thankfull for. Just stop and thank aobut it. I have a lot of family issues going on but I am so thankful for the good things are around too.

My Father has cancer and i will be going to the doctor with my Dad to make certain he keeps up with what is going on. Dad is 85. My husband WES has been back in the hospital again with his hemochromatosis....it is affecting his heart now along with all his vital organs becoming diseased. His liver, pancreus, spleen, lungs, and now it has moved to his heart..I just love each day spent with him more and more....both of their time on  earth is shorter every day..No cures for either of their illness's.

Me, well my weight is staying within 8 lbs of where I want to be. I have leaveled off and maintaining great.

I know that being worried is no reason to eat but tell that to your mind when issues happen you have problems dealing with in your life. It really happens and you get so depressed inside that you sort of forget and eat more than normal...(at least that it has happened to me lately)

Being stressed out with personal issues going in your life is NO reason to overeat. I am asking that you pray for me and my family. Prayer is one thing that none of us can get too much of.  I hope and pray that Our Lord and Savior will give me the strength i need and the knowledge i need to deal with my family and my own health.

Drop me an email is just to say Hello. Happy Holidays and God Bless!

 

 

 

October 6, 2008

Today I went to the doctor with my parents. Mom is 82, Dad is 84....

Dad was told he has Lymphoma. The doctor removed one of the places in his neck but the cancer is already in the lymph nodes.....he has another mass in his stomach.

I have thought about this and have already gave him to God because God is Greater than I and he possesses the medical healing that I cannot give to my Dad. I am hurt and do not understand why God lets this happen to the Warriers. My Father has lived a full and prosperous life. He has been my Rock and keep me in the right Christian Path all my life. My Dad will make it to see his 85th birthday this Sunday, Oct. 12th....I plan to bake him a cake Saturday and take it to him.

I hope and pray that he and Mom will outride this storm. They have been married for 64 years and what a JOY that must be.

Take care and keep my family in your prayers.....ty

 

 

 

HELLO EVERYONE,  Life if being good to me and I am doing my best to maintain it the best I can these days. I still have kept the weight off and try to maintain around 168-172 all the time now.

Not sure if anyone else is like me or not but I vary sometimes and then loose it again so that is why I say I maintain....

Happy FALL to everyone. This is my favorite time of the year and I love it. Hope to ride toward Cheawah Mountain in the next few weeks and see the leaves turning....in the mountains.

Keep God in your heart and keep me in your prayers.

Well, I am great, doing wonderful. Maintaining my weight loss and still loving it. My husband has been in and out of the hospital again. He is dieing and has been told that he has aroun 3-4 years to live. We found out three weeks ago that his heart is now diseased along with his liver, his spleen, and his pancreus.......from the hemochromatosis that he has. It is an iron storage disease. His body makes too much and it has damaged all his major organs. He got it from both his parents. Both parents carried the disease and when their children were produced..Wes inharreted the disease from his parents.

Just remember the lord has plans for each one of us so I am not giving up at all. I have my faith and trust in the Lord to supply my needs. 

*******9\11\08 - If my brother was living he would turn 62 today.

Hello Everyone,

Another Monday is here and we all get to start the week over again. Let me just say Thank you Lord for allowing me to make it this far.
I look forward to each and every day, each morning, each afternoon, each evening to be here on this earth.
Not only has weight loss been a great inspiration for me but it has opened my eyes and ears more into what God has allowed to happen in my life.
If you need a friend to talk too, a little inspiration to keep you going, let me know. I might help you.

Take care and have a "Blessed Week"

Hello Everyone, Today is August 11th. We are almost halfway threw this month. Wow

I am still doing well and my husband is still sick. His hemochromatosis and diabities have been very bad laterly. Please be praying for us both and may Our Lord touch his body and heal him soon.

I am still happy to report my weight loss and being able to keep it off. I see the woman that I looked too and she has started gaining weight back. NOT saying it can't happen to me just saying I see it can happen.

I hope and pray that I continue to keep mine off and regain my health that I had missed for many years.

I haven't heard from any of you lately so tell me what is going on with your self this summer.
