not single, but double biopsy

I found out this afternoon that I am to have a biopsy in both breasts, and not just one as I thought. There are suspicious things in both. I spoke to a nurse tonight and she told me I have way too much stress in my life. I have been trying to work on that, but there are responsibilities one cannot shed just like that.
 
Also please pray for my son Olivier who is finishing his B.Sc. in physics in December. He has a rotten day, his alarm clock did not ring this morning and he arrived late at an exam. He is also working during the summer (doing research in a hospital) on top of taking a sumemr course, and he is very tired. Tht is why he did not wake naturally, I guess... I hope the teacher will let him write the exam again... he know what is happening to me and he is bvery sad, he is trying to be as supportive as possible but it,s hard over the phone. He is coming to town in 2 weeks. I hope I will have good news for him.

Dear Line,
 
I am sorry that this is such a rough tiime for you and that you require more biopsies than you expected. You told us that the procedure was scheduled for August 13. I will light a candle for you and keep you in my thought s and prayers, especially tomorrow. It would be hard to reduce stress, when you face such challenges.
 
Things are difficult for your son as well. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to be late for an exam. I hope he can take it again! I'll light a candle for Olivier as well.
 
With every good wish and love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Yes Hildegard, tomorrow morning à 9:30 AM New York time.
 
But at least, let's rejoice because the orders are coming in at last and my shortage of money seems to be coming to an end, at least for now.
 
I'm glad I have an "office job" at the computer, even if I were to be sick, I can still use it and I don't have to dress up and go out of the house.
 
I have done it before, I guess I can do it again. And I have a much newer and reliable car now if the need arises.
 
And there are many days of sunny (and very hot) days ahead, which should lift my spirits (and maybe make my tomato flower again?).
 
I thank God for the courage He/She gave me, it enables me to face what is ahead.

Line,
I am lighting a candle for you.  prayers being said for tomorrow morning.  Sending love, liliwings

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Dear Line . . .
I am sorry to hear this news,
but you can be sure you are very much in my heart just now.
Have you tried simply sitting with the stress,
and being present to it?
Sometimes acknowledging it
can help to depersonalize it . . .
 
Prayers go out too,
for Olivier as he faces his challenges . . .
so far away.
We can be grateful for telephones.
When I was a little girl,
the cost of long distance calls was prohibitive,
and we seldom made them.
I too, hope that he will be able to retake his exam.
Some professors are willing to work with students
who are trying hard . . .
 
A candle is lit both here,
and on my kitchen table
for you both
with love . . .

Dear Line,
You have already mentioned some ways you can reduce the stress in your life. A little re-arrangement here and there perhaps? You can only do your best.
Also, eating as healthy a diet as you can is something you do have control over, and it does help stress too.
 
I will light a candle for you, and one for your son. I hope he will manage OK
 
Blessings to you both,
 
Love,
Jude

Love is the only way

Line prayers and positive intentions to you and to Oliver
Namaste

Dear Line,
Candles are continually lit by me for you and for your son.  May you be held in healing.  love, liliwings

Thank you liliwings and all the others who pray for me.
 
I am now waiting for the results.
 
I resumed my meditation practice, I arranged myself a nice quiet corner in my bedroom where I light candles and incense. I have been working on reducing my stress level for a long time and some sources I shut out or cut off from my life (negative people who are always complaining, hateful people... too many of those, alas). Thanks for encouraging to keep improving.
 
I am grateful because I have a spouse and children who love me. And I have you people too. I am not alone.
 
I try to keep busy (within reason) and do stuff I love like cooking. Among other things, I eat no store bought food except the odd "Blue Menu" (Blue Menu = less fat and salt) lasagna. I make good bio muffins =). I eat much better than 5 years ago and I keep on improving.
 
We'll see what happens, but one thing that would be good for me would be to lose weight. But diets are something to avoid, and besides, they don't work.
 
 
“We should not believe in traditions because they were transmitted from Antiquity and neither should be believe simply because of the authority of our masters or teachers. But we can apply a writing, a doctrine or a statement when the proper understanding we have of it and our inner experience confirm them. Be your own torch, your own refuge, your own Master…”
- Buddha

Dear Line,
 
Good to hear from you! I hope the biopsy results will be good news.
I am glad you find your meditation practice helpful. Some quiet time each day is really helpful.
 
You are right about diets not working, at least not for the long haul. Weightloss requires a change in lifestyle, more activity and changes in eating habits. Since you enjoy cooking you can experiment with recipes and come up with dishes that taste great without being heavy in calories.
 
I hope you are enjoying a beautiful Sunday. Here a thunderstorm is approaching. I hope it will clear the polluted air!
 
I keep you in my prayers!
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Line,
I hope the results will be good news. Good luck with the changes in diet!
I will light a candle for you now,
 
With Love,
Jude

Dear Line,
it sounds like you are doing much for yourself in the department of what you put in your body.  And yes, it is very important.  Including consciously grown food whenever possible.   As for the weight,  maybe one thing at a time.  with intentions set, often the grace appears in the right timing.  And I too agree that going on diets is not the answer.   All things in right timing. I am very glad for you that you have the love of your family.  I would say this to anyone who writes of that.
 
love light prayers and angels, liliwings

And I have you people too. I am not alone.

Yes you do, dear Line . . .
we are no less people who care for you,
than those you can see and touch,
and you are very much in my thoughts and prayers
with love and hope . . .
