The C-team is looking tired while "Air" Ruiz just seems to get stronger as the game goes on. Boy, is the girl a PTP (Prime Time Player per Vitale) or what? :).
This quote to begin the 3rd Quarter was once again provided by my friend and co-worker. This 3rd quarter kicked my butt and I am happy, so happy that it is almost over. Team Jeanne started so strong but is definitely showing signs of fatigue down the stretch. Clearly the C-team is pulling out all of the stops but the quarter belongs to Team Ruiz as reflected in the score above.
My apologies for not posting sooner...the fatigue, both emotionally and physically has been overwhelming at times. Chemo #4 happens on Tuesday and I am anxious, excited and scared all at the same time. Hopefully the "oncology nurse with no manners" (ONWNM) will be absent this Tuesday when my sister-in-law Mary accompanies me as my chemo partner. Apparently, last month's chemo partner Marcia upset ONWNM and was told she might have to leave the infusion room if it became too crowded...I think I over heard ONWNM might have gotten re-assigned to Leisure World on Tuesdays...:)
I hate cancer and it has taken the lives of some very special people over the last two weeks...Karen Hearn (Autism classroom Instructional Assistant) and Nolan Hunter Johnson (nephew of dear Ingrid)...there is NO cancer in Heaven...Today in church we sang "Heav'n is My Home". It made me cry...
My favorite breast cancer T-shirt slogan..."Yeah, they're fake...my real ones tried to kill me." Chloe asked if she could buy this T-shirt: "I wear pink for my mom, my hero", how could we say no?
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I hope God's plan for me is to beat cancer. Actually I would love to beat the @#*^ out of it!
I remain forever indebted to you all for your love, prayers, cards, emails, good wishes, meals, flowers...EVERYTHING!!! All of this is what is keeping me going...
Love,
Jeanne

I was at a party on Saturday night, and this girl said "awww". Of course, my initial reaction was "she's diggin' me - she thinks I'm a sweetheart" Makes sense, I think. Come to find out, she has a boyfriend and wasn't diggin' me, but was diggin' my bracelet. I guess that'll have to do. You know, the "white bracelet" you gave me a while ago? Anyways, I told her about this awesome lady back home, Jeanne, who's kickin' the @#^% out of cancer.
ReplyDeleteJeanne, I am so proud to know you and so proud of you. Your attitude is humbling, and your perseverance is outstanding. You're in my prayers, always. Remember to smile!
Love,

WOW, Jeanne. I'm touched by your words and your strength. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. God bless.
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend...
ReplyDeleteDoug Hensley called me from Oregon today to ask about you. He said he's thinking and praying for you all the time. He'll be at church on Sunday March 21st and looks forward to seeing you then.
Can't wait for your "other mom" Myrna to arrive. I know she will beam you up like only a mom can do.
And remember the saints of heaven...your cloud of witnesses...they are cheering you on like no one else can do.
Looking forward to the cute pixie haircut for our August Arizona pool time.
YHWH-Rophe, the LORD our Healer is always with you...
Love,
Carol
We continue to pray for you here in Durango. Wayne & I, of course, are praying, but also our church family & other friends. I hope this round of is easier on you. Thanks for keeping us "abreast". You're a real trooper.

Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteI love your strength and love and trust in our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is walking this path with you; I am encouraged and humbled by what you are enduring. I am reminded that what I have to do to keep the bad stuff away is so small in comparison. Love and prayers continue unceasingly.
In Him,
Denise
Dear Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteIt's you we're indebted to. Thanks for sharing this journey with us. Among other things, you help us remember to be aware and thankful for each and every day.
Love to you! Mary
Howdy!
ReplyDeleteAll I'm going to say is, I hate cancer too! LOVE YOU FOREVER, your sister, Phyllis
P.S. Yes, I like your favorite T-shirt slogan! Pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteDear Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteI pray the Father's heart is revealed to you throughout this journey. It's difficult to sing above the storms of life when you feel so physically destroyed, but He has you safely in His arms! I, too, am a prayer warrior for you.
Peace & love,
Maggie
