One of my dear friends has lung cancer

I will start by saying she is and hopefully can say "was" a smoker.   She started caughing a lot.   Our other friend told her to go to the doctor.   After tests, they diagnosed cancer in her lung and have now removed over half of one lung.   She will have to have radiation but the doctors at this point feel she will be fine.  


She has lost so much weight.  She is now 101 lbs.   Very worried about her.


Even though for years I have supported others here and know there truly isn't much I can do.   She has a close family and I know they will help.   I sent her flowers when she arrived back home.   She called and told me that when she opened the door to the delivery person, it gave her a huge smile on her face when she saw the flowers.   I am so happy she can still smile.


Try to say a little prayer for my friend Marie if you have a minute.


Hugs
