Actually
a sing is ceremony by a shaman. I will have to look into how/if we can do this long distance.

I see now that you did
I see now that you did indeed write the word SING and not SONG~ obviously 2 different things altogether! It seems to me that prayers, songs, sage, ceremony, tobacco being given to the fire or the waves~ and being in the presence of things spiritual is powerful. I believe that the intent and ceremony travels way past the immediate, and into the hearts of those being thought of. Even if they are hundreds of miles away....

Hugs,
Claudia

Thinking of you
When summer vacation arrived and I finally found the time to sit at my computer to check the discussion groups, I was upset to see that you too have more doctor visits to go to and battles to face. Much as I like my doctor, I much prefer to stay well and OUT of his office since that means things are stable. I'll be praying that you will be able to stay OUT of the doctor's office sometime soon too. Take care!

Chen, this takes me to...
WE can do all things in Christ who strenghtens...and what a source of strength he is!

Roseann,Bless your heart! I
Roseann,

Bless your heart! I have gotten so much encouragement and hope from so many sources!
I have also NOT talked to my Dr about prognosis or any statistical data for the exact reasons you mentioned. I mean, why???? What good would it do me to know where I fit on some actuarial chart? Would it tip me over some edge of despair and make me give up on Life, Love, and meds? That would be horrible! Or, do I just know that I am in fighting mode, taking the meds which are best known to modern science, confidant that I am not a number, but a woman, a human with a "condition"...

I have also been inundated by friends/acquaintences etc who send me links to web-sites showing how I can be CURED using non conventional routes. They are all on the bandwagon of modern cancer treatment being a giant conspiracy while the only desire of the pharmaceutical companies is a money making one. I won't say what sites I was sent to,but evidently I can be cancer free in less than 5 minutes. oh puh-leeeeze! I do know that there are no doubt Drs, scientists, etc who are greedy and only looking for the dollars lining their pockets. But I refuse to believe that they are all so callous as to watch babies get chemo, and lose hair, and vomit all in the name of greed! I do not think that this is a conspiracy of the highest order which is keeping us from living a cancer free life! Whoa! Sorry for the Soap Box ramble...I don't know where that came from! LOL

I have heard of the "Crazy Sexy Cancer", but have not seen the CD nor read the book. Evidently you recommend it!

Thank you again for writing~ the love and support from the Warrior Survivors here at CSN has been more than I ever dreamed of! I honestly wish none of us needed to be encouraged, but being that we do, this is the best place ever!

Hugs,
Chen♥

Chen,
I had not read this
Chen,

I had not read this thread yet when I read your "Hogwarts" post. I'm sorry to read that you are in the ring again. I sense you have your gloves ready, though. Each step I've gone through, I've searched the posts to read the advice of this wonderful group. I believe there is safety and power in numbers, and we got your back, Girl! The power of prayer, positive thoughts, good juju, whatever everyone calls it, does work!

I also recommend the 'CrazySexyCancer' books and video. She is one tough little birdie! (One side note about the video, if you have small children in the room.. there are some f-bombs you may not want them to hear...)

You are highly thought of in this group! Take care!!
