Many of you have been asking how I've been doing. As of this afternoon, I'm able to give you some more information. It's not good information, but I want my dearest friends and family to know how hard I am trying to fight this cancer.
Today I got some really awful news. My cancer has spread significantly and the tumor in my spine has decided to go the nasty route. I've already been experiencing the paralysis in my left leg which has been terribly distressing and a true pain in the proverbial backside. I won't go into specifics because I am still trying to wrap my brain around the news I got today. This next week will determine where I choose to go on this medical journey of mine. When I'm ready, emotionally, to share details with you, I promise to do so. Until then, please understand that I am not in a place where I'm wanting to, or able to, talk about my future. This fight has tired me out, but I'm not giving up. Sometimes, it's hard to let go and let God make the call.
Another reason for not sharing is because I want to spare my children from the questions and condolences from those who mean well, but don't realize that they are actually causing more pain.
In the meantime, know that I love and care for each one of you immensely. Once I have all of my ducks in a row, I will let you know how my little family will proceed. Time is precious ... live each moment with His love in your heart, enjoy each gentle breeze, treasure each hug and always ... ALWAYS ... tell your loved ones "I LOVE YOU" every chance you get. God is good.
Until Tomorrow,
Kathy

Kathy,
No matter when you read this comment, please know that you are being prayed for by so many that you don't even know. As you said, God is Good - He does things on His own time-table and for His own reasons. I believe in you and I have faith that God performs miracles. I pray that He will wrap His arms around you and hold you securely so that you feel the strength and comfort He offers. You are an amazing human being - even back in high school when I knew you (not as well as I would have liked to) I knew that you were destined for great things and that you had a heart of absolute gold. We will keep you, and your children in our prayers as well as send positive thoughts and energy your way. I wish I lived closer so that I was readily able to lend a hand on a moments notice but if there is ever anything I can do, please let me know. I have asked that you be put on my church's prayer list - we have a group that meets every Tuesday night and prays for each person on the list - and that doesn't include the daily prayers that will be sent. Love & Blessings to you and your children,
Dawne (Siesener) Wood
My goodness...I can't even pretend to know what you're feeling or dealing with. But I will pray anyway. For wisdom and comfort and provision and healing and for God's greatest will to be done for His Glory.
