« Just Say No | Main | Bacon Bits » May 18, 2007Prayer RequestMy mother, Harriet Hobbs, has breast cancer for the second time. She's 77 and had it about five years ago, and treatment was effective. But now it has returned - stage-4 metastatic breast cancer. Treatment this time with Herceptin, a new drug approved since her last battle with the disease, in combination with the drug Navelbine, has been very effective. The tumors in her lungs and liver have disappeared. (God bless the evil greedy pharmacos!). But she has multiple tumors in her brain. Herceptin does not work on breast cancer tumors in the brain. In layman's terms, the herceptin molecule is too big to go into the brain. If you pray, please add my mother to your prayer list. Posted in Miscellaneous

I'm so sorry to hear that, Bill. Thoughts and prayers for your mother, and,your family. Posted by: Busy Mom at May 18, 2007 12:54 PMYou got it, Bill. Also, Vanderbilt does some very good clinical trials on people with stage 4 cancers. I can get you a name and number if you're interested. Sharon Posted by: Sharon Cobb at May 18, 2007 1:51 PMYour family is very much in my prayers. Posted by: Katherine Coble at May 18, 2007 1:54 PMYour family's in my prayers, Bill. Posted by: Ivy at May 18, 2007 2:16 PMPrayers for your mother's health and a miraculous recovery ! Posted by: D.J. Jones at May 18, 2007 2:34 PMI can testify to the power of group prayer/prayer lists. Have experienced it myself and have seen it with my granddaughter. It does not have to be a religious thing as one might generally think of it, either. Posted by: Donna Locke at May 18, 2007 2:58 PMOne of my grandmothers successfully fought it a few years ago. She is gone now, but not because of the cancer. Will be keeping all of you in thoughts and prayers, Bill. Posted by: Lynnster at May 18, 2007 3:44 PMMr. Hobbs, Bill, Your mother will be in my prayers. I am a survivor of seven years, so there is hope. Posted by: Jim Brown at May 18, 2007 6:25 PMMy mom is the same age as yours. Five years ago she spent 3 weeks hovering between life and death. I am praying the same prayer for your mother that I prayed for mine - "Dear God, please take care of Bill's mom." I know that God will do just that. Posted by: K-Mom at May 18, 2007 9:43 PMBill, Your mother and your whole family are in my prayers. God bless you all. Posted by: Webutante at May 19, 2007 1:40 PMGo hand and hand with God. He is with you. Posted by: Jack Morgan at May 19, 2007 9:38 PMPost a comment
