I am very ill with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I have been told that there is no more treatments available because my body is giving out. The reason it is giving out is that I fought and won breast cancer a few years ago. That didn\u2019t leave me many options to fight against ovarian cancer. I also have a serious condition where the cancer is compressing a large vein in my neck. It could kill be instantly.<\/p>\n
I would appreciate it very much if you and your followers would pray for me. I really want another few months. At least until school starts.<\/p>\n
Thank you and God bless<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for our sister. \u00a0Grant her complete healing in body, soul, and spirit and give her caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, skill, creativity, insight, understanding and the proper technology to assist in that healing. \u00a0Give her and all who love her grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. \u00a0Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregrine, pray for her. \u00a0We ask all this through Christ our Lord. \u00a0Amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
