News: from Lorna

Aug 21, 2007, UPDATE

Hello dear friends, I hardly know where to begin to thank you all for the amazing amount of love and concern shown me during this time. Today, August 22st, marks just three weeks since my operation and the first day I am off the pain killers. I feel uncomforable but I'm not in pain. Everyone has been so unbelievably kind and generous, I have received so many cards, flowers and many, many other gifts, as well as offers of help. I think too, heaven has been bombarded with prayers on my behalf. I am sure you understand that I simply have been unable to respond to each one but you can be assured that I am immensely grateful for all that has been given and shown to me - actually, it's been quite overwhelming. The pathology is that I had four growths - two in each breast and the cancer was found in just one lymph node on my right and nothing on the left, so it is felt that it was caught at a very early stage. I feel as though I have a tight band of steel around my upper body but am told, with exercise, it will loosen. I am totally unable to carry anything with even just a little weight to it but hopefully all that will change. Now the next step is chemo which will begin on September 13th - this is another pilgrimage and I understand it will not be easy but a-day-at-a-time I feel sure I will emerge triumphant. My hair is to be cut on September 11th which I feel is a rather fitting tribute to the date. Please do keep those prayers and metta coming and know that I hold you all in a heart filled with love and gratitude.
