This is absolutely ridiculous. If we both hadn't fallen off the emotional roller coaster earlier in the day I'd know how to write. I called Oasis this morning to make sure that they were sure that Ramona is doing good.....and...they're sure. We talked to Dr. Wong today and he looked at the same scans that Oasis has and says that there is nothing her can really do for Ramona. The cancer is back full force and chemo will only temporarily slow it down...............ya.......that was the same scans he was looking at...............I'm leaving out huge amounts of important information...but I rode home from Winnipeg with Ramona listening to her talk about how she should quickly clean the house and make extra food this week because maybe she'll be having chemo soon????!... There are many phone calls and decisions to make. Please pray that healing happens somehow.....

i don't know how to comment, but not commenting seems worse. in the last months my urge to pray for you has slowly decreased. not stopped, but both the frequency and the urgancy were definitly less than before... not anymore! i am begging God for healing, for peace, for clarity (deciosn.making, etc.), for miracles, and for joy in the storm!

with love from your sister,

I don't know what to say either. The two different Dr's opinions seems so unbelievable! I pray for you alot. (Like many others I'm sure) I pray God will give you peace and wisdom and strength in the middle of this storm.
love, Auntie Emily

May the peace of God envelop you as you sort out this troubling situation and may that same peace allow you to 'be still and know that HE is God' no matter what you get told by 'man'. Praying you through all of this....Elayne Goertzen

Ramona & Earl,

I'm sorry to hear that you guys are going through such confusion and frustration. It's hard when you have conflicting opinions from two different doctors. It must be aggrevating trying to decipher which to believe and go by. Regardless, you should keep up with the healthy diet so that you can nourish your body to keep fighting...whether there is a battle or not and whatever the battle might be.

All my good thoughts are with you.

I echo what others have said before me--don't know exactly what to say. But we're definitely thinking of you and praying for you. Appreciate the update, as difficult as it may be to do.

How confusing for both of you...I hardly know what to say. And in the midst of all of this, Ramona is talking about prepping for more chemo?! Ramona, your willingness to do whatever it takes to beat this cancer amazes me. I'd love to say that there's a reason for all of this stuff that's happening to the two of you, but I have no idea what that reason is and somehow it just sounds cliche. I'm praying for you and I'm hoping beyond hope that Oasis is right and Dr. Wong is wrong. Keep us posted so we know how to pray for you. I hope your wait for definitive answers is not a long one.

Please know that we are praying for you and trusting in the love that we know the Lord has for you.
Earl#1 had surgery yesterday to repair and clean up the incision that was not healing well. He is feeling pretty good today and thankful that the waiting for on call surgery is over.
We love you both and continue to trust God to heal Ramona and give her all the treatments available to beat this thing.
Love Debbie and Earl
