Week Two
“Glad that’s over”
– Lynn, at home the evening after the portacath placement.
We are three days into week two and next week (Monday) begins chemotherapy.
We are both glad to get the good news of the recent tests, and we are optimistic that this trend will continue. Still, it seems almost surreal to be doing all these tests and procedures when Lynn doesn’t feel sick. It takes a while for the whole thing to sink in.
On a side note - I don’t know where they get those gowns for the hospital, but the one Lynn wore today looked like someone stole the seat covers off a 1972 Ford Pinto. Thinking it might be of some interest for the blog, I asked Lynn if I could take a quick picture of her in the gown with my camera phone but she said…well, I’ll just translate it as “no”.
Oh well.
We appreciate all the calls, and e-mails, and posts to the blog. We read (and often re-read) every one. It helps more than I can say.
So please drop us a line and say “hi”. I have the system set up so that Lynn receives an e-mail copy of all the posts, and we both appreciate the kind words and scriptures you have all shared.
Above all, we appreciate your friendship, love, prayers and support.
Thank you.

Lynn,
Finally - some positive news. Reading Mike's post about the test results gave me relief so I can only imagine how you and Mike are feeling. You are a strong woman Lynn but in the coming weeks, don't forget that you have a lot of friends and we are here for you to lean on. It's okay to let us "assist with the lifting" emotionally, spiritually and physically. Don't hesitate to ask. Mike, that goes for you too. You and your family are in my prayers everday and I know you will stand victoriously at the end of the fight.
Your friend, Marianne
Lynn,
Wow! Great news! You have been in my prayers all week. May this good news carry into next week when the battle begin. I am inspired by your peace and strength. I pray that will continue for you. I would love to walk with you. Unfortunately, it would have to be on Saturdays. Give me a call when you are up for it.
Your sister in Christ,
Pam
Dears Lynn, Mike and Shelby,
I don't think even one day has passed that I haven't lifted you in prayer. Our Lord, Jehovah-Rophe, the God who heals, knows everything about your current situation and all of the challenges inherent in the battle. Let Him go before you as you face each test. I am already praising Him for the good news of the tumor's shrinking, AND that your side effects have been fairly minimal even with chemo. PTL!
Sending love and hugs all 'round.
Sandie (Flettner)
I know that Heidi, Krista and Julie are praying for you, too, Lynn!
