sorry its taken me so long to ask. but am needing some big time prayers for our 38 yr old daughter. this is the mother to the granddaughter that lives with us.she is battling cancer again of the brain. we just found out sunday that she has been in the hosptial since tuesday. it doesn't sound good. this time they are say its cns lymphnoma. she hada brain biopsy yesterday and we all went up last night. she was still out of it but she did respond to us saying her name. our oldest daughter and youngest daughter have been a really big help on finding out what we need to know. she(jeannie) isn't talking yet, but was following commands this morning when oldest called at 6am. well she called back before she went to work and her sister still isn't talking and stopped following commands. the daughter has 2 daughters of her own and one lives with us and the other(17yrold) is living with friends and working where she lives at. our oldest and youngest are getting these 2 girls together wed to help them to figure out what they need to do. i will keep everyone posted as much as i can. thank you everyone

Sending prayers to all My10. What a horrendous thing to have to battle. I hope there is better news as the day goes on.

Ana

thank you. we are hoping for better news as the days goes by too. may have to make a quick trip back over there. hubby and i can't drive in wichita so we are having to depend on the oldest and the youngest daughters to either get us there and that makes it hard on their jobs as well. the yongest daughter has to take off work so much for her oldest( the one with heart condintion) . this is going to be a long road a head of us all.

Oh My, hugs and prayers.

I am so sorry to read this. I pray that all improves for everyone in your family. This does sounds like a very difficult situation and I will keep you all in my prayers.
God bless you and your family.
Terri

Oh my! this is just horribly sad new, my thoughts & prayers are sent out to you. Here's hoping for better news.

this is the latest update we have. we are working on getting papers signed for durable power of attorny


Things don't look good as of right now. They are gonna start steroid Iv back up to try to reduce swelling in her brain. If that doesn't work not sure what's gonna happen.

Aw My10 HUGS!!!! Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending the Band to be there at the hospital for when you and hubby can't make it.

have a little bit of good news. daughter is finally awake and talking more , sitting up watching tv but on the other hand is refusing to eat

Excellent! Baby steps are better than none!

Good news is good news

prayers are being send, and good news.

My10....Thats "Wonderful" news....

My prayers will continue for all... <HUGS>

this is from our oldest daughter on her sister

little bit of good news concerning my sister, Jeanette Rose Blair! They have moved her out of ICU, she was coherent enough to have a small conversation with me a few minutes ago ad even knew who I was! We still have a long road ahead but those prayers everyone are sending up are working so please keep them coming!

Good news, thanks! Prayers continuing.

Getting out of ICU is a wonderful first step

yep. everyone but me went over to see her this evening. hubby called me on his phone while they was there and i got to talk to her. she is still having some problems talking and remembering. she doesn't remember she had her surgery. it makes me wonder if she has had a small stroke on top of it all. but will wait until we find out the results of the biopsy

Sorry to be late to your thread, my10rugrats, but sending my very best for your Daughter and all your family

That is a good sign My10. I will continue to pray for her recovery. Take Care.

Continued prayers on the way, my10.

Prayers continue and so glad to see that she is out of ICU and seems to be doing some recovering!!!

Hugs and prayers
Nan

I hope things continue to ger better My10.

ok update. starla and becky talked with the dr this morning. jeannie has aggressive cns lymphnoma. has not spread any where else with chemo she has a chance of 2 yrs, without chemo they are saying 2 weeks. she will be in the hospital at least 2 more weeks and they are wanting to start chemo on monday. also we are working on getting a dopa and getting her in a nursing home.

Very sorry to hear that My10. I lost both my parents to brain tumors, it's a rough path.

yes it is. she had cancer of the brain 2 yrs ago and fought it. this one is worse than what she had before. also these are the 2 girls that lost their father 2 yrs agos when he killed their stepmom and himself.

Dear me, my10rugrats, how very, very sad. I have you all in my thoughts

So sorry My10. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.

My10, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I'm so very sorry to hear this news. Hugs for all of you.

My10, continued prayers for you and your family. So sad.

thought i would let you know , our oldest daughter went over yesterday to see her sister. and was able to get her out of her room for a while in a wheelchair, even as cold as it was yesterday she wanted to go outside for a little bit. chemo starts today. will keep you posted as much as i can.
we all want to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers

Thank you for the update, my10rugrats. All of you are still in my thoughts

Still sending prayers from here too.

Aw My10 sorry to hear that about the return. Praying that the chemo does the trick and it goes away and never returns!! Glad she was up to going outside for a bit. May she continue to improve. HUGS all the way around!!!

Hugs and prayers
Nan

What a wonderful event. Glad she could get her outside. Prayers continuing.

More prayers on the way up from me too.

Aww My10, so sorry to hear this. I will pray that they can make her comfortable and for a miracle. It has been known to happen. Sending warm hugs your way.

My10 it must have felt good to your daughter to get out in the fresh air. Keeping her in my prayers and all your family too.

My10, prayers are continued as she goes through the chemo.

More prayers on the way.

i can tell you daughter got her first chemo on monday. oldest and youngest daughters went over monday night to see if they could get the dpoa signed. well the daughter that is sick is faking the incompentent situation of things. not sure how to word this. oldest daughter talked to the dr today and the dr and nurses are all seeing how she is faking not know anything on what we have been trying to do to help. so as a family we have had to take a step back and see what happens. we will stay in touch with the dr and nurses in case we need to rush over there. as a family we are having a hard time doing this but this daughter has played games with us all of us before about certain things.. we know for a fact that she does have cancer. i am still asking for prayers for everyone here. not sure if anyone will understand what we have to do

My10, that is so hard. I'm sorry that you all are being put through this additional stress. Hugs.

thank you. we are at our wits end. but will just have to ride it out for now and to continue with our prayers that she gets better

My Prayers are with you and your daughter
GOD BLESS~


Doc

A very difficult situation M10. Your daughter must be frightened about what is happening to her and perhaps doesn't want to give up her rights just yet. My prayers are with you. Take Care.

So very sad - and such a lot to cope with, my10rugrats.
Hugs to all of you

gerry, i understand what you are saying. and no one wants to have something like this happen. we as a family have never stopped caring what happens to her but she has never been one that will tell you the truth on things.whats sad is she is pulling this over or trying to on the dr and the nurses.oldest daughter called this morning to check on her and they have moved her to a room closer to the nurses station and also put in a foley so her urine wont burn her skin as the chemo is exiting her body. again our family thanks you for all your thoughts and prayers as we go thru this

Hang in there My10. Our prayers are with you.

Prayers and Hugs on the way.

My10

My10 you and your family are dealing with so much I hope the prayers and support you have from your friends here at GB continue to give you comfort. My prayers are with you.

Prayers going out My10.

Bets

Awww My10, so sorry to read about what you and you're family are going through! Will keep you all in my prayers!

nothing new to report. oldest daughter went over saturday to see her but all she did was sleep. the nurse said she wouldn't even respond to pt . so now its just a waiting game to see what we do next or what the dr thinks needs to be done. we as a family feel so helpless not knowing what to do. all we can do is love her right now and be there for each other

again i want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. i worry every night whether we will be getting a phone call that something has happened. so that makes it for me not sleeping very good

My, continued hugs and prayers.

My10...

You all are in my Prayers....

Many <HUGS>>

Prayers and Hugs My10.

Oh, a little brighter note for you all, my10rugrats. I am so pleased for you

Oh, how sweet... there is nothing as healing as puppy and kitten therapy.

That is awesome My10!

Ana

yes it was a good day.but this next month is going to be a long one.

oh forgot , she gave me a dirty look when i was talking about some homemade bread. so told her next time we are able to come over we will bring her some

OH, God Love Her....

What a Beautiful picture...

Thank You, My10 for taking the time to post the pic....

All my prayers for her....

Hugs and prayers
Nan

My10 a lovely picture. So glad she has the support of you all. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Beautiful picture My10. Prayers and positive thoughts continuing.

well oldest daughter will become DPOA for her sister. the girls(granddaughters ) do'nt feel they are capable of doing this even though one is 19 and the other will be 18 in august. also possiblity of moving her to along term nursing home sometime next week. she had another round of chemo yesterday. she is also having to have some kind of meds that helps keep her white blood count up to where they want it before chemo and are having a hard time keeping it there.

It's a huge responsibility for a teenager so I am glad someone is able to relieve them of it. Hope it all goes smoothly and praying for you all.

Ana

thank you ana. this last week has been a rough week for us. the social worker there has been a total pain in the rear. going in there telling her she is being released , upsetting her. when there are times she is so incoherent and acts like a little girl. we all know this is the cancer pushing up on her brain as the dr told us

My prayers are on the way too My10.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing you all the very best, my10rugrats

My10,I hope it all works out for you. Hugs.

So sorry to hear this My10, I hope it all works out. I think it's a rotten thing that social worker is doing, someone should report her

Prayers My10....

Don't know what else I can say....Just you all are in my prayers..

thought i would let you know that oldest daughter got her sister moved last night to a long term care facility in the town oldest lives in. not sure how many many chemo treatments she has to go thru but the main thing is she out of the hospital and will get to do things a little more now. we will be going down on the 22 as oldest is planning a birthday party for her.will keep you updated the more i find out how things are going. also oldest daughter stopped in to check on her sister this morning and to take her some more clothes and found her up dressed and eating breakfast and all smiles. does my heart good to hear this

So glad you have some good news, My. Hugs to you all

My10 that is wonderful!! Sounds like the move went well and was a good thing!! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. HUGS!!

Nan

What a boost !!

I'm so pleased for her, my10rugrats - and all of your family too

Such good news! Let's hope the improvement continues.

Happy for you and your daughter My10. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

My10, Keeping you all in my prayers. Glad for the improvement.

well daughter went to dr today and is able to start her 3 round of chem next week. she wasn't able to last week to do any because her platelets and white blood count was low. but they were better today

Prayers continue!! Hugs to all! Thanks for the update and glad she has the 'all clear' for the third round!!!

Hugs and prayers
