It's not pink or pretty, it does not have a color, a ribbon or a balloon. Lets just all say what it REALLY does!! And yes, for the SIXTH time it is roaring it's ugly face! The pathology report showed positive for cancer cells in the fluid from the pleural effusion. Your allowed...say it with me.....
Thank you everyone for joining my "pity party" yesterday with me :) I truly appreciate all of your kind words, encouragement and prayers. My blog many years ago began with the quote " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". This journey now brings me to the next step. Tuesday I will have a PET scan and meet with my Oncologist to discuss what's next. Your prayers for discernment and scan results are appreciated. Today is a new day!
I received so much encouragement, kindness and prayer support from so many people. I will leave those comments in the comment section as they are too special to leave out...
Thank you to my blogger friends and family for sticking with me as well. I promise to update sooner :)

Diane Heathcock Have been thinking about you since I got up this morning. Years ago an aunt of mine would tell me that when I was thinking of someone, that meant that you were suppose to be praying for them. I was also thinking Elaine~that prayer reminds me of hands that carry us through so many trials and happy times. I look at your FB and see how many people are praying for you. ~~Think of how you're being carried through these difficult times. So...it's ok to have as many "pity parties" as you want, our prayers will carry you through them cause we want to celebrate the "good parties"!
Robin Myers Yes it is..... Everyday is a gift and you will have many more to come.... Cancer UG -
Mike Christie Minich Every day is a gift.... every moment of every day! You are our gift. Love you.

I was reading the comments from your friends and loved ones from yesterday.

My money is always on you!"

Hi Elayne, I am not on Facebook either any more. Thanks for the update. Cancer Suck!
I am not on Facebook anymore, too vitriolic these election days! But, I wanted to tell you that anger is good--it gives you energy to fight Cancer. So I am with you in spirit as you fight the good fight.
I am so sorry Elayne, I will certainly keep you in my prayers.
