Hi everyone. Sorry I havn't been up here much. I'm back to work (6 hours a day) and by the time I get home, do errands and chores, make dinner...well...I'm usually asleep in front of my tv (in bed...it's awesome! lol) by 8 pm. I get tired, but, except for that, I feel remarkably fantastic! I'm disgustingly perky (as usual...lol) and feeling great! God is soooooo goooood! He's carried Sam and I through so many hard times, heartbreaking times really, but He is the one constant that lifts us up and is always there, always faithful and the One we can always lean on.
In some ways, as wierd at is sounds, this cancer has been a kind of gift. It's caused me to forgive those who have hurt me, see myself more clearly and to appreciate my relationships, espcially with God. I am so very blessed!
Thanks to everyone who has contacted me and encouraged me. I try to get in touch with everyone but sometimes I just can't get to everyone...it's been overwhelming and great to know that I have such great friends.
If anyone has tried to contact me by phone, and left a message, please call again. My voicemail through Vonage was so garbled for a while that I couldn't understand the messages. I think I heard the words "Weight Watchers" on one of the messages, but that was all. So, it's fixed, please call back. I'd love to talk with anyone from my old WW group. I miss everyone so much, but working days, I can't get there on Wed mornings.
Love you all. Keep up the fight and let me know if there is anything I can do to make the site easier to use or if you have any questions.
Take care and Lord's blessings... Colette

I think of you all the time too. Our lives are so darned busy that sometimes we just can't touch all the people we want to keep close. I understand!
Congrats on the new job! I have to get up to the Soupbowl and catch up with everyone....once again...time is at a premium. Sleeping is a great healer, and I tend to sleep alot once I get home. Don't be afraid to call though, I would love it!
I usually fall asleep early and them I'm up for 3 hours or so in the middle of the night...(like now...it's 2:38 am) and Im on the puter! LOL
Take care and thanks so much for your prayers..they mean the world to me! A lady came up to me at chemo the other day and said she was a 7 year cancer survivor and whenever she comes in for her check ups, she comes to the infusion room (where we get our treatments) and prays with people. She asked if she could pray with me, and I said "OH YES! PLEASE!" It was such a blessing. I could feel the power of her prayer and that wonderful feeling stayed with me all day! Prayer is firing the winning shot in any battle! So please, continue praying.
I have put myself on a vegetarian diet. Not because I want to, but because I just can't stand meat anymore. I eat TONS of fresh, raw fruit and veggies every day. I'm trying to raise my body/blood PH. Supposedly, disease can't survive in a high PH environment. A Christian friend of mine, Daniel, gave me a DVD about this diet. I have to say, I feel fantstic on it and the fruit is soooooo gooood this time of year. I went to the store tonight and spent $40 on fresh fruit! It will be gone by next weekend, but if it works, its a cheap treatment and it tastes fantastic and is good for me.
Well, I've rambled on for long enough. Time to go and play solitare for a while til I get sleepy.
Say hi to the girls for me...I'll try to get up to the Soupbowl soon. Love you so much Sister....Coe
PS: Please pray for my sister and her husband (Shawna and Justin). They are trying to conceive and I WANT A NEICE OR NEPHEW DARN IT! I have to have a baby to spoil...LOL! Love ya girl.

Hey sweetie!!! I posted part of your post on the soupbowl for the others to know how you are doing.
Have you talked to Cassi lately? She has not posted in a LONG time and I am really really worried about her.
Thanks for the congrats on the job. It is not hard, but takes just doing it until you get it.
What a blessing to have someone come in and pray with you!!!! God is so good!!!!
Keep eating those veggies!!!! Love you sweet sister!!!!!!
P.S. Prayers going up for that new baby you are looking forward to as well....I know that would be a lucky baby to get you for an aunt!!!
