Prayer needs

My friend Olivia is back in the hospital. She has been battling breast cancer for nearly four years. It started out with the lumpectomy and all the treatments that go along with that. At the first of this year the cancer returned in the same breast and she underwent a radical mastectomy and all the treatments for that. Then she started having pain. Unexplained, bang your head into the wall pain. She has been to pain specialists and all of her other doctors and there has been no explanation for the pain. So now she has 'over medicated' herself to the point of she can't get easy. But the other thing is, she has fluid in her chest cavity and the fluid has cancer cells in it. So its time for more chemo because there is cancer somewhere in her body and its hiding but its causing her pain. Pray that she will be able to overcome this. She can't continue to live on pain meds and other things and she is going to have a tough time going thru all the treatments again too.

My second pray request is my long time friend Deb. She has had a bum leg all of her life and a bad spine and a host of other ailments. Her leg is infected and she is in danger of losing it. I am going to her little cottage and help her get her stuff sorted and put away so that she can get a hospital bed into there and she can rest with her leg elevated. She really needs a recliner that leans waaaay back but she is living on disability and can't afford the chair. If I had the money I would get one for her but I can barely keep my own head above water at the moment. So I'll do the next best thing which is go and move her stuff around and make some sense out of her living space. She is a tough and gruff bird on the outside and a crying puddle of goo on the inside. Most people can't get past the tough guy persona.
