A Little Detour

[Lorraine]

Hi everyone,

I just want you to know that if you send me some posts and I'm a little late getting back to you or you don't see too many posts there is a very good reason.

My 30 yr. old daughter was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I will be traveling back and forth to see and help her with our 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter. All I know now is that the Dr's are going to treat her aggressively and there will be surgery. Please keep our family in your prayers because this will be a 'wild journey' for us all. Feel free to PM me. I check my mail often.

If you see someone that comes into your Dr. office and you have been waiting and they go ahead of you, say a prayer because you might have been in their shoes. Your few minutes of extra waiting can mean a big difference in their day of dealing with another test, consultation and stress, etc. Life is full of detours and wild journeys. To happier days

Lorraine, your family will be in my prayers

Such a scary thing to deal with but with today's technology and the strides that have been made, it is treatable.

If there is anything that your friends here at Orchidboard can do for you, just say the word

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this trying time!
God bless you all

I will be praying for your family

My thoughts go out to you as well. Cancer in one's immediate family is not an easy thing to deal with (from my experience.) Keep a cool head and I pray all things work out for the best.

I just said a little prayer for you and your family, especially your Daughter. This kind of thing really puts things in perspective (from my experience). Suddenly orchids are not important at all. Just remember you have us all here to vent or just to get in a good chuckle. Take care.

Lorraine, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter.
You're help and shoulder right now is just what she needs so be with her.
As an up note, my Mom survived breast cancer and went on to live another 46 years. It can be beat.

Lorraine, you don't know me but you, your daughter and your family will be in my prayers. Stay strong for your daughter. Research her particular kind of breast cancer. From my experience one can never be too informed on the subject and knowledge is key right now.

Lorraine..I will be sure to add you and your family, especially your daughter, in my prayers. As a mom, I can only imagine your own personal pain, but I believe you will be as strong for your daughter as she will need you to be. Do remember to take little moments for yourself.. Eileen
