I'm digging out the Big Gun Irish Prayers for Maggie, Alan and you.
My thought are with you all.
As always if I can provide info or help in any way I'm here.
Keep the faith Liz.
Hugs.

" May your God go with you.. Alan and Maggie. "
To have two members of the same family have to go through this is just not fair!

Your post have always been so heartfelt and inspiring ....I am sooo sorry to hear what maggie is going through , I do not always have faith , but to hear the way you put things makes me wish and think I should have more. I only hope that Maggie can get through this as smoothly as one can ..and I will PRAY for her .

Maggie and I enjoyed a quiet but meaningful day yesterday and remembered that our Wedding Day was just as it was yesterday weather wise, more like a Spring Day than a Winter Day, we enjoyed the most marvelous fiery red sunset as we came out of Church after taking our Vows and recorded forever in our Wedding Album.
Unfortunately Maggie's left neck is swelling as her right side and we are both anxious for treatment (radiotherapy) to commence with no further undue delay. Chemo may also be an option, but for the moment pain management is becoming a priority.
I hate to see anyone so ill, but am proud of Maggie's tenacity and courage which is coming from a place deep inside her soul which surely has been fortified by the comfort of all your prayers of intercession.

I hope you have many more of those,and Maggies new found resoluteness continues.
