Many of u may recall that i had a good friend w/brain cancer.I had ask for prayer for her & written some discussions about her. About 2 weeks ago she lost her battle w/the horrible disease.She wasn't but 54 years old & had been my friend for years. I have been very sad about this & really couldn't write about it till now. Rest in peace, my friend Diane. now my neighbor next door has it. he found out yesterday he is already in stage 3. I'm asking now for prayers for him. His name is Gary burns & hope y'all can find it in your hearts to pray for him. thank u.Do u know anyone that has cancer. I know there's probably noone on here that doesn't know someone that either has it or has lost their battle w/it. How about it?

Hi AANTIQUELADY, I am so sorry to hear that your friend Diane passed away. And now to find out that another of your friend's is also ill. I will also pray for Gary. This disease is awful. I wish God would help to speed up the cure for this so that more people wouldn't have to suffer. I know that your friend Diane is resting peacefully now. And I will pray for Gary that he doesn't suffer and stays strong. God Bless.

Hi Anti.. I am sorry to hear this about your neighbor and I am praying for him. I remember you posting about your friend Dianne, may she Rest In Peace. Yes I know of someone that has cancer, he is my cousin, he found out about this a year ago. When they found it they said he was in stage 4 and they didn't recommend surgery on him. He has had chemo, and as I speak he is doing wonderful. You can't even tell he has it. My only problem with him is he doesn't give God any of his time or consideration. I have been praying for him and his wife. Only he can change his heart and ways. I am praying daily for him. Have a blessed day.

I am doing great, I don't get on MyLot that much anymore. Trying to find an outside source to make an income. I still have another year to go before I can draw my SS at 62, my unemployment benefits has run it's course. I am trusting and believing in God to provide for me. You know how it is when things are going on in your life you just can't concentrate on certain things and responding to discussions on MyLot is one of them. I am blessed and highly favored and things are going good. I pray they are for you too. I can communicate with you through email if you will send me yours. You are a ray of sunshine for all of us. Can u email me through my Mylot Email. If so hope to hear from u soon.

I am so very sorry to hear about your friend :( Yes I am sure almost everyone has lost someone close or they love to cancer, I have lost friends and my dad to the evil C word. That was my toughest battle with it, It has been 5 yrs now and it still feels like yesterday. I recently lost my best friend so I know the pain you are going through on that front as well. She did not lose her battle to cancer, she actually beat ovarian cancer and was in remission, and lost her battle to congestive heart failure. But I feel your pain and send you giant hugs, and Gods strength and comfort.

I'm very sorry to hear that your friend Diane passed away. 54 is a very young age to leave this earth. Gary Burns will be added to my thoughts and prayers. I don't know much about the stages of cancer. I will also pray for Gary's family, during this hard and trying time. People shouldn't suffer, we were never brought into this world to suffer to our last breathe. It's like a cruel joke in my opinion. My dad and grandmother had skin cancer. They are in remission, thank the Lord. My dad, actually had it twice. With him going to the doctor nearly all the time. The doctors caught it fast, with a lot of removing, they got it all. He has had it on his right side and his face. My grandmother has had it on her leg.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Diane and your neighbours’ diagnosis. I will be glad to send some prayers Gary’s way. Cancer is the worst thing, I lost my dear mother in law to this horrible disease and I can relate to the pain it causes. My mother in law dealt with her situation with so much courage and dignity, a person’s true character comes through during times like these. I will keep Gary in my thought and pray for him. I am so sorry...

I have lost family members plus a close co-worker to cancer. She was only 42. It is so horrible for the person dealing with it and the family. I will definitely pray for Gary. So sorry about Diane passing away. She was so young. May her soul rest in peace.
