*New* From Jody in Utah –Thank you all so much for your prayers!! We just found out that mom has ovarian cancer and the early stages of lymphoma. She will take 10 months of chemo (one day a month for 10 months) to shrink the tumor and then they will schedule surgery to take out the uterus. I am not sure why they aren't going to take out the ovarian cancer first, since it is what has spread to the lymph(other than the recovery time for a hysterectomy might delay the chemo for the lymph?); however, I will ask mom to ask questions and will pray for God to clarify and give wisdom to the doctor and the praying folk! We would greatly appreciated your prayers for complete healing for mom! She is awesome and in God/Great Spirits. She has made so many changes to her diet in an attempt to be as healthy as all get out for chemo- no meat, processed sugar(proven cancer feeder in many noted studies), raw veggies, organic fruits, green tea, vit.D, krill oil, alkaline water and so much more. She gets great sleep and has been exercising 2 hrs. a day. I am so thankful for and proud of her- my sister and I were talking and both agree that mom is the most positive person we know and as mom says, "Honey, I am experiencing the peace that surpasses all understanding. " She is completely leaning on and loving the Lord! To God be the Glory!! Praising God for all of you!!
