One of my favorite artists is Ansel Adams. His photographs always give me a sense of peace and tranquility of the world. With his eye and talent, some of the simplest objects transform into brilliant poetic pieces of art in front of our eyes. His talent comforts me, and the sense of peace calms me. A calm that is needed the first day of treatment.
A very wise woman, fellow friend and cancer survivor, Sarah, has stated numerous times to many other cancer warriors, that the only way out of this brutal treatment, is through. And the only way through, is to first, find peace within yourself. I may not have a terrible amount of control over this situation, but I can, for certain listen to Sarah and her words of wisdom.
Information:
- Tomorrow morning at 8am, will be the port surgery. They will then admit me to the hospital late morning. Following with fluids, and beginning the first transfusion of ICE chemotherapy. Treatment will begin around 5 or 6pm tomorrow (Wed) night. We continue treatment til mid Friday.Hopeful release will be Friday night or Saturday morning, pending on complications.
As so many of you have expressed a form of helplessness, that you wish you could do more. I ask of you, while you can not do much for me during these next three days. Take the kindness so many of you have embraced me with , and shed it upon someone else, that could benefit from your love. You'd be amazed at how much each of you affect me, everyday. I can't imagine how another individual would feel receiving your kindness, as well.
For now, we begin the battle.
To end the war.
With each of you, as the army behind me.
- B
a woman of valor more precious than rubies
she is robed in strength and dignity,
and graciously faces whatever may come...

Hey Bekah,
You sound ready. You sound prepared.
Go and do what you have to do!
Love and cuddles,
Wullie
I think you look very pretty and I like your earrings
by Erin (Veronica and Wullie's little girl!!)
Sorry Bekah, Erin hijacked the computer and she typed the message above with a little help from me ;0).........she was very taken with your photograph!!
Take care, B..........much love.......xx
Like Veronica, I love your new photo. You look wonderful.
You're such a strong, inspirational person who is gifted with the power of the pen. I know you'll do well and in the process teach me and others how to go about the affairs of our life even when the circumstances aren't what we'd like them to be.
Thinking of you.
With love,
Duane :)
Thinking of you today, B!
And, you do look beautiful in that pic.
You are a true fighter! Keep it up and stay strong Bekah!
You've been on my mind often today. Hope the beginning of the process went smoothly. I have Jesse's vision of you fighting the hodge to visualize (you'll have to check your thread on the forum to read all about it) : }
My pom poms are shaking in your direction.
((HUGS))

Stop with the pom poms. I still have that vision of Wullie shakin em like there's no tomorrow *shudder* ;-)
I hope its all going well for you Bekah. You have a heck of a long post in your honor when you get home this weekend!
Remember: you only need enough light to see a single step ahead of you. Focus on single steps and you will find your way through this maze. We are all pulling for you...
I sincerely hope you are peeing like a person that pees alot.
Go kidneys.
loads of love.
I may not be good about leaving comments, but I promise I'm keeping an eye on you! Not in a stalker kind of way--more like your big sister. You can do this, and I hope you are reading this from a bathroom because you are peeing so much!! ;)
Love ya!!!
"Go Bekah - Go Bekah" hope you are having a "pee party"!
Hope you'll be back home on Friday snug as a bug in your own comfy bed.
And Steve...I like the imagine of Wullie with his pom poms - I imagine him wearing a cute little cheerleader kilt too : } How's "that" for another visual for you...hehe Now picture Darrel wearing a kilt too ;-}
