Shalom.
I don't think that there will be many more posts from me on this subject. I typed this and then sat here for a number of minutes before clicking Send.
First it was my mother and then my dad and now my sister. I hate to upset anyone but I thought that those on-line friends of mine, and also those others of you, who are praying for my sister and our family would want to know.
I just had a call from my very upset niece. The Lymphoma is now everywhere in my sister's brain including the meninges. It s also pressing against the brain stem. There's a lot of other lymphoma cancer throughout her body but it is the lymphoma in the brain that will stop my sister's breathing. The doctors said she might only have a few days left. Barring a major miracle we here are basically on a death-watch.

Peter,
My prayers to your sister and your family. May you all find peace and comfort from each other and from all of your brothers and sisters here in your PT family. I do not mean to say that a miracle is not possible but wanted to share a passage i found that may be comforting in the days ahead. Gods blessing to you and your family.
O Shepherd of Israel, Who dost neither slumber nor sleep, we are the people of Thy pasture and the sheep of Thy hand. Enfold us safely in Thy love. And if in our grief and loneliness and moments of desolation, we should stray from following Thee, O leave us not, faithful Shepherd, but draw us near unto Thee.
As we face the great mystery of death which called away this our dear friend from our earthly abode, we feel our frailty, our weakness. We do not understand the brevity of life: we cannot understand why such pain and anguish of heart and mind are visited upon those we love.
Make us not despair, Eternal Father; we are called by Thy Name, we are Thine, Thou hast set thoughts of Thee in our hearts, though we; creatures of flesh and blood, can but dimly apprehend Thy purposes. Teach us not to neglect the task of today because we cannot see its eternal effect. O teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom; to lengthen our brief life by intensity of living; to fill swift hours with worthy deeds.
Besides the still waters, through the green pastures, and in the valley where dark shadows lie, be Thou our strength and shield, and may we find Thy rod and Thy staff a stay and comfort to us in the days that lie ahead.

Peter,
Ever since I joined the message board, I noticed right away something special about this organization. In addition to all the help I received ,
we all show our love and concern for our member's sister, Mary. I know
when my time comes, I will be in good company. I noticed all the
writers of this posting are all my good friends Someday may we all on board our favorite PT boat at full throttle, speeding to meet our maker, with wind blowing through our hair and salt apray upon our faces as our
predecessors before us.
Peter, if possible please post a picture of Mary on our message board as a lasting memorial of our love for her through our common interest.
God bless you all!
Victor

Shalom.
Today the radiation specialists said that even with the proposed radiation treatment my sister will have a maximum of three more months. At least that will allow us to celebrate one last birthday with her in April.
The cancer is in her major organs as well as the meninges (brain) and brain stem.
As far as I am concerned she is and has been in God's hands for some time now. He may still allow a miracle. As long as she lives there is hope.
I feel strangely peaceful about this. I guess it's because the results are what I experienced with so many other family members who have passed on because of cancers.
I'm trying to eat well and keep active physically as well as mentally so I can be available to the family if or when my sister passes on.
Thank you all so very much for thinking about us and for taking the time to pray for us.
Cheers from Peter
