Background

This blog is for informative puropses for our family and friends to keep up with Ruth's treatment and recovery. We will be posting as we have information to share with you.

Ruth has been in remission for a year and a half, but she has recently had some health issues. After going in for numerous tests it has been determined that the cancer has returned to the abdominal wall. On Friday January 9, 2009 we are again fighting this disease with God's word in hand praying for His mercy and grace. Ruth will be going in for surgery sometime in the next few weeks. We expect that she will also have to undergo 6 rounds of chemotherapy. She has the same gynecological oncologist that she had last time, one of the best in the nation, so we feel confident that he is the man for the job.

We will post the surgery date as soon as we get one.

Right now we could use prayers that it has not spread to the lymph nodes.
As far as everything else we are set, thanks to everyone, we are so fortunate to have you in our lives.

    Dear Ruth, It seems that the fight continues, but I know how physically and spiritually strong you are. My heart and prayers are with you and Bob every moment. When the weight of the day gets to you, close your eyes and picture the Gore Range with the sun shining on it, as it is also another of God's wondrous creations. I'm here to fight with you.

    Ruth,
    OK girl, just hold onto your horse-you can walk to your heart's content soon. How about watching a good movie-something that usually causes you to twitch after 20 minutes, but this is a great opportunity to sit back and enjoy a movie and do a critical view of today's cinematic accomplishments. Ruth, thinking of you all day. Take it one day at a time. It will get better-I promise you this.

    Hi Ruth,
    Hope that gas starts tooting, time get the tummy rumbling. Moving helps, even isometrics. Wishing I could do it for you. Stay strong you'll be home soon.
    Luv,
    Lu
