Prayers for my co-worker's mom would be appreciated

My co-worker, S, the one who has been such tremendous support to me and who was with me on that terrible last trip to the vet with Annie, just found out her mom has cancer.

By coincidence, her mother's name is Judy (as my mom's is), though she's younger. 

Apparently S.'s father took his wife to emerg yesterday, where they ran some tests. A mass was found in the pelvic area and she was admitted, though is still waiting for a bed. 

Further tests have been done this morning, and the best guess right now is that Judy has some form of blood cancer, which likely has metastasized. More tests are forthcoming. I have no idea what treatment options she will have, or if things have progressed too far.

While I can't (yet) know what S. and her family are going through, I'm sitting here at my desk in tears.

I would appreciate prayers, Light, good vibes, purrs...whatever it is that you do...for them all. Thank you.

Oh God! You know I KNOW the effect such a diagnosis can have on everyone who knows and loves this woman.
Sometimes there seems to be not enough prayers to go around, or as if God is simply not listening.
But, I'll do it anyway - pray for them (and for you). XXXOOO

Thank you, Janet.

My co-worker and I were just talking a couple of days ago about how the older you get the more sickness, suffering and death you deal with, in friends, family and of course yourself in turn.

I would like to still believe in a personal deity, because it would be of some comfort, but I just can't. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to all the sorrow and suffering, it certainly doesn't seem like it.

But I do believe in the power of positive healing energy, or prayers, or whatever one wants to call it. Not necessarily for healing and for miracles, but for strength to see us through.

Thank you and (((hugs))).
I will be thinking about them and sending good thoughts their way. What upsetting news to get. ~Alasandra
(((((hugs))))) Will be sending all of our purrs and prayers to Judy and her Mom

Am so very sorry to hear about "S" Mom. Can only send our prayers that there is treatment available. There is no good time to hear this type of news, but especially in light of the "happiness" of the Holidays. It can be very overwhelming when you're the one sad or suffering and everyone else is 'happy'.

((hugs))

Yes, I pray and get the kitties to purr for her. My mom is also still wrestling with cancer, second round. :( I wish cancer would get it's butt kicked and never come back.
I'm so sorry to hear that. my thoughts are with you

Sorry to hear about your friends mum, it is especially tough to receive such a diagnosis on the week before Christmas. We hope that they can get the diagnosis and get her home to her family soon.
