Until you know anything, and you can't do anything, I hope you do not worry about it. Unless you tend to worry and then you are being you, and that is OK. I feel in my heart that you will be fine and anything that does come your way, you will handle it with grace and courage. Prayers for you that all is well.

253108Dear Loralye, I will certainly keep you in my prayers. I find having a good routine is immeasurable. Go to bed at a reasonable hour and get plenty of sleep. Listening to and reading inspirational stories will also inspire you. I'm glad you have a direct line now to a professional as it will help alleviate some of your concern. Keep positive and keep your chin up. Love Chris
234256Loralye- First my HUGE Hugs from Your Cute Family from all around this great world of ours. I started this over 7 hours ago and got lost in uplifting spiritual messages finding the full versions of the Serenity Prayer and then found several other uplifting sites and messages. I finally made it back here again, finished up writing what I wanted to say and thought...I should refresh the page prior to posting this....nope.... lost the whole thing. So hugs, more hugs, and hour by hour of prayers for you. Hopefully I am listening to the spirit, as to what message is most needed, whether for just you or for someone else who may read the message also.
All your cute family here will gladly be a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on whenever you have the need. You are right; you are a VERY strong woman, who walks in her faith of her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Please remember that your sharing your challenges here inspires so very many around this whole world, you are a blessing to me, in my life. When people can learn from the things that others go through, it at times will help them through their own difficult times or help them to continue to fight the good fight as they say, then there are times that the advice they read from others may help them to totally be able to bypass a difficult situation for themselves, because they had learned from others advice, what a blessing it is, in that life, when they are able to bypass those types of trials, or when they learn a coping trick from another, who had thought to share that advice. Sharing on line has the potential of reaching so many more people than in past generations. We are so very blessed even with the trials we are each facing.
Your doctors that you already go to are some of the best doctors for your medical condition, so there is no need to second guess their knowledge. Advice from specialists is worth their weight in gold, as you do not need to worry if the advice is good advice, or if it fits your particular situation. Satan wants to try to discourage you because he knows he can not make you doubt your faith. Letting him cause you stress, chest pain or panic attacks would only cause you harm. Though the afterlife is so much better than this life, we still are not to try to help ourselves into the grave, or to help dig our own graves either. We are not to just endure our trials and afflictions of this life, but to endure them well, which has been something I have been thinking a lot about recently. This life is a type of test. We all will go through various forms of testing and loss. How we choose to handle those situations will show our Heavenly Father what type of steward of his vineyard we would be. He does not want us to bury our talent or hide it away nor to hide our spiritual light under a bushel but to let it so shine forth before men that they will see his good works and glorify the Father which is in him. It is not just about making it from one minute or day to the next, but in figuring out how to still have joy and happiness in this life, despite those trials we go through. We can not say I will put off being happy until after I make it through all this. I will serve the less fortunate, once I am no longer having this trial. Tomorrow may not come, so we must do all we are able to do now, today.
You will want to get a small notebook and write down what the symptoms are that they in particular would attribute to the tumor getting larger, whether it would be loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, too much sleeping, nausea, balance issues, chest pain, and palpitations, just whatever the conditions would be. Also have a page or two for you to write down questions as you think of them. Then every few weeks read through the symptom list and think about if you have had any of those things start up for you. Write down the date and how you are feeling and doing. Then leave it next to your bed so you will look again in a few more weeks. Then remember to bring the notebook with you to your appointments.
To help you pass your days and "endure them well" I hope you will add to your sewing routine to have uplifting music or inspirational talks on CD that you can listen to while stitching, which will give your spirit double uplift as you are stitching in your sewing room. Do things you love and create for your loved ones and the less fortunate or charity stitching you may do. When we go through difficult trials if we can still find ways to live and enjoy life and still find ways to put the teachings of Christ in our lives and refuse to go down the path that Satan tries to put before us, or refuse to become depressed or bitter with our situations and continue to reach out and lift one another in our life's journey finding ways to continue to live our lives in a Christ centered way, then come what may, we will have comfort from on high, and we will be blessed for the way we chose to try to live our lives. Hugs again dear friend, Pam

you know a funny thing is I always leave it in God's hands! I was reminding myself the very thing today. I feel better thank you
2753Glad you were able to talk to your doctor and it sounds like good news...if your doctor is not worried, that should bring you some peace and let you relax a bit. Getting back to things you enjoy to do is critical for your state of mind and recovery. Be happy with the news you received from your doctor and take comfort and strength that you can overcome this...keeping a positive outlook will only help you stay strong...and that is of utmost importance...
314370I would say you have gotten some good news so take it to heart. Go sew and start planning to something fun with your hubby. Take a trip pr whatever will make you happy. Celebrate the good news! And we will continue to pray for you.

40383Loralye, I will keep you in my prayers for healing and peace of mind, as you go through this. Staying positive is difficult, I am sure, but staying busy and creative will definitely help to take your mind off it, at least temporarily. I have found reading inspirational books, novels, or magazines help keep negative thoughts at bay, too, and alleviates a lot of my anxiety. Sending you cyber hugs for better days, and wishes for a clean bill of health soon!!
Hugs, Angel

114510These words from the neurologist seem comforting to me, but of course, it's not my tumor! The sewing sounds like a plan to me - it always brings me back to who I really am. Please know I continue in prayer about it all.
