Update on Joan's condition April 1998

Dear Friends

This Prayer Page you have created for me is a wonderful and loving thing to do. I shall treasure it always.

I appreciate your praying for me....but please don't worry about me! I will be just fine...I think.

I am told it is very important for me to rest now and to be as strong as possible for the surgery....I'm trying, but it is very, very difficult to be still when so much needs to be done.

I pray for enlightenment....there must be something for me to learn from this experience.

This is a foul and awful disease that strikes terror into a person's heart because it is such a relentless killer.

While spending time in the waiting rooms of different hospital departments and doctors' offices, I have seen people who are afraid and struggling to hold back tears and panic.......my heart goes out to them.....if only I could offer them some comfort .....I don't know what to say .....I don't have the words.....I can only empathize.

Perhaps after my experience I will be able to comfort others who will be going through this ordeal.

But I am really fortunate to be going through this while I am young enough to be very strong and to fight the cancer with my body, my mind and my spirit......I have a loving and supportive family. .......I have your prayers......and I have God's love........all will be fine.

I'm spending lots of time in the sunshine drawing beautiful angels for you to enjoy.

With my gratitude and my love, Joan Kirk
