Hi Everybody,

I am requesting prayers for a friend of mine who seems to be having difficulty deciding whether or not to go in for CK treatment tomorrow (5/3/2012) her name is Karen (Chloes Mema). I need everyone to send positive thoughts her way as well as prayers that she has made the right decision in her treatment for herself.
The point is she is filled with self doubt, I need everyone to pray for her fortitude through this difficult time. We need to show her our support, whatever she decides.

I believe in the power of prayer!

Don't worry Karen! The prayer baton has been passed!

Mike ~

I appreciate your concern for a fellow ANer and I''ll certainly offer a prayer for strength for Karen as she struggles with her decision.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Everybody,

Karen (Chloes Mema) goes in for her procedure at 4:30 pm Eastern Standard time today ( May 3, 2012) in Florida. Our prayers are with her and her supportive family as she enters the first day of CK treatment she has informed us that there are two more treatments to follow 24 hours after each other so keep praying into the weekend please. I'm sure because she is active on this site that she will update us as her health allows.

 From the bottom of my heart thank you and I wish a peaceful and hopefully pain free experience to all that have chosen this positive path to treatment. Some of us have not entered treatment yet (myself included) but know and are appreciative of a network (all of you here)!

Remember where ever you are in treatment, you always have a positive health affirming place to go and friends here on the ANA forum! We like to hear from you and will express our support whether you are frustrated and have chosen to express it or would just like to be left in peace to recover.

Hi Mike,

I will be praying for Karen all day today, along with Molly that Denise shared with us.  Prayer has power !

There is no place like this site and the people here, who truly understand the life we live with the AN or after the AN.  My life is a challenge everyday, but the sharing and caring that is expressed on this site helps me through all the challenges.

God Bless you all.

Actually, second treatment is not until Monday.  Third treatment is Tuesday.

But keep on praying.  I could feel the prayers and love yesterday as I was on "the table".

I will post yesterday's experience under radiation - CK - one down, two to go!

Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Everyone,

Did you have a nice pain free weekend? Karen's treatment day is today and tomorrow.
So let's keep passing the prayer baton around?
Thank you for keeping friends in our thoughts!

Yes, thank you all.

I am very calm and focused today so I know the next two treatments will be fine and successful.

As a friend of mine sent me this morning, "by tomorrow afternoon that tumor will the fried to smithereens!"   :D

Thanks everybody!

You know how to support me as I have been praying for Karen (Chloes Mema) she wants me to convey to you her thanks as she has probably already done.

I just wanted you to tell you all that you have been a blessing in disguise and are a testament to the healing power that prayer has. She felt buoyed by your prayer throughout!!!!!!
I hope I can do the same if you have a special request sometime!
