I just received this email tonight from Paula Taylor. I copied and pasted it for you to read I also provided her email address for you to send her get well wishes and please let's pray:
DEAR ROSE,
I HAVE BEEN OFF LINE FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF MY ILLNESS. I AM DOING BETTER NOW BUT FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING NECK CANCER. I HAD IT IN MY THROAT, MY NECK, MY TONSILS, MY NASAL PASSAGE AND MY PALATE. I AM ON A FEEDING TUBE. I HAVE NOT HAD FOOD FOR THREE MONTHS NOW.
I WILL BE GOING BACK FOR A CHECK-UP ON THE 12TH OF AUGUST AND A CAT SCAN. HE IS STILL CONCERNED ABOUT A LUMP THAT IS STILL ON MY NECK, JUST BELOW MY EAR. EVERYTHING ELSE IS GONE. IF IT IS STILL THERE WHEN I GO BACK, THEN HE IS GOING TO DO SURGERY TO REMOVE WHATEVER IS THERE. HE SEEMS TO THINK THAT IT IS FROM THE BIOPSY AND IS ONLY EITHER MY LYMPHNODE NOT SHRINKING BACK TO NORMAL OR IT COULD BE SCAR TISSUE LEFT OVER FROM THE BIOPSY.

Dear Paula,
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to learn of your medical problem. We do thank you for sharing your situation with us,
your forever classmates, who will
now be praying for you.
Im sure it's encouraging for you
to know that the cancer seems to be gone.
A family member of mine was diagnosed with Esophagal Cancer
several months ago and could not eat anything solid.
After Treatment at Dana-Farber which is one of the best treatment
centers in the country, she now can eat soft food and is getting
better.
So hand in there and we will all
be thinking and praying for you.

Dear Paula: I am so sorry to hear of your troubles, but heartened to hear some of your success and I can only hope that the good stuff continues. Is there anything I can do for you? Please let me know if there is and know that you are in my prayers. Be well, Joe
ReplyDeletePaula, I have been wondering for some time now why I had not seen any entries from you. To be truthful I missed hearing from you.
ReplyDeleteI have been having problems with my e-mail , so I have been using FB till I get it resolved.
I am so sorry for your situation, you are truly a beautiful person and I will keep you front and forward in my prayers. I know that the prayers work be cause I have seen it happen quite a few times...take care my friend

Dear Paula,
ReplyDeleteI, too, am saddened to hear of your situation and pray that you continue to heal successfully and "get better" soon.
Cancer is such a terrible scourge and seems rampant lately among family members and dear friends. I am very sorry for the discomfort, pain and unpleasantness (for lack of a better word) that you have had to endure and I sincerely hope:
that your ordeal is near an end and you are truly on the mend.
Also, I hope that we'll see you back at the Wharf (or somewhere) when we have our next get-together and that you'll be eating and drinking and generally having fun with the rest of us.
Dear Paula: I am sorry to hear about your situation but I am glad to hear that you are doing better.
ReplyDeleteI am have so many friends that have conquered cancer that are now doing wonderful. Be strong and know that your classmates are praying for your speedy recovery.
