Good afternoon everyone. This is Janae. I'm not sure I need to introduce myself every time on this but guess I will. I got home from my appointment at 10:00. Dr. Garrison says the tumors have increased in size about 20-25%. It's not what we wanted to hear but I do have some understanding of it. I started with these tumors in the "negative". Doing all that I am doing takes a while for change....darn it. With my colonics treatments that have been so successful I feel that my body will be able to now begin to start working better to resolve some of this. I have to have my body enviroment prepared for it and that takes time. How long? Can't tell. The problem in the brian is that when it gets inflamed, there is no where for it to go which makes a worry for seizure and strokes.

I am feeling at peace with it still. I have been on the phone with Leona for the last 2 hours revising my program and adding some things...a new plan of attack. I know cancer is a journey of set backs. I cannot let it emotionally and spiritually do that to me. I need the faith, peace and energy to fight and push myself to do whatever I possibly can.

Thanks so much for all your prayers, you that participlated in the fasting process.....I love you so very much. Many of you are friends of my children and friends of friends. It is wonderful to have a network of great people, from many religions and walks of life that can extend their love and blessings to me and my ffamily at this time.

I will continue on in all I can do. I appreicate anything you are willing to continue to do for me.

Have a great day! And weekend!!!!
Janae

  1. Janae,
    I am sorry to hear about the results but as you said I am quite sure that the changes you are making takes time. I have visited your site many times today in anticipation of your results. This blog is a great idea so people like me don't drive you crazy wanting to know how things turned out. :) Please let me know what I can do and don't be hesitant to let people help. We love you and sometimes we don't always know what the best way to help is. I love the music that plays when I come to your blog site. How peaceful is that!!!! Love you and hang in there sweetie!
    Love, Margie

  5. Thanks so much for keeping us updated, whether the news is good or bad. Half the battle is facing the realities and not hiding from them. It enables you to take constructive action, and for others to help lift the load a little. You and your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you again for your example of courage and faith, though I know that it is not easy. We love you!

  7. Janae,

    I don't know if you'll remember me. I served my mission in Wenatchee back in 2003. You're family was so amazing to me and I think of you often. Sister Raab gave me the link to your blog... I was so shocked to see the struggles that you've been dealing with. Our most heartfelt prayers are with you! We wish you the best and know you have the will and strength to beat this. My father was diagnosed with Prostate cancer last week. I know the emotional toll it can take on you and your family. You are all so strong and such a wonderful example and influence to many many people. We love you and will pray for you daily!

    My warmest Regards,

  8. Janae,

    Fourteen years ago I was in the hospital and had been for over five months waiting for a heart. My heart capacity had dropped to eleven percent. Lyle was told that if it was to drop one more percent I would be taken off the recipient list. There was not much hope for me at that point. But! Janae, miracles do occur - two weeks later on the 28th of August, at eleven percent heart capacity, the treasured heart arrived via jet in a red cooler and here I am still kicking and fighting. I don't want to make this about myself, but I just want you to know that miracles do happen and they happen when we least expect them to. You are so right you cannot let this set back discourage you because faith and discouragement cannot dwell together.

    Keep fighting girl. You are a strong and wonderful example to all of us who are privileged to know you. Please know I pray for you and your family daily.

    Have a wonderful party this afternoon and bask in the love that all of us feel for you.

  9. Janae,
    Oh how we have been thinking about you and your family lately. There are so many fun memories of our families together and we are thankful for them. Molly and I were on your blog today and read the hard news of your tumors growing, but what amazing strength Janae you are, still being a rock in your family. So fun to hear the messages from your children on your anniversery, what a special love you two share.
    Continue to be strong Janae and we love you tons!!!!

    Take care,
    Jenni & Molly (Dahmer)

  10. Hi Jenae,
    Just wanted you to know we think of you often and are still praying for you. I, too, am sorry to hear of the increase in tumor size, but I am so glad to know that you have peace. What a comfort to the soul. I remember that feeling so well, it was the only thing that helped me during our trials with Scarlet. When all feels lost our Heavenly Father reminds us that He is still with us and it almost feels like His arms really are around you, supporting and lifting you up. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to your Birthday party. Scarlet made it for us and from what I hear, she had a blast on the trampoline! Stay strong on your program. Continue to believe in miracles! We love you and wish you happiness and good health.

    Love, Kati Anderson

  11. Calvin and Janae,
    What a wonderful time everyone had at your birthday party. It was great to see you, hug you and visit. I have been away too long and missed you all. Even Stacie remembered me. It was great to see your Mom and Dad again.

    I was going to do my version of "Happy- Happy Birthday, Baby" when I got out of Bob's car (singing to you in my loud voice) but since you are in the music business I decided you might not appreciate my lousy singing voice. Ha!

    Seriously, you look fantastic. I was thankful that I could stay and attend your session of church on Sunday. Brought back a lot of memories - sitting in church with many of my dear friends Oh, how I have missed my East Wenatchee Ward - I know it has divided into more wards now but there is nothing like the Ward you were baptized in and held my first church assignments with you and Kathy.

    I pray for your and your family constantly and if there is anything I can do - just let me know. I can be there anytime night or day. You are truly an inspiration. I am so very thankful to my Heavenly Father for the blessing of you being my sister and my dear friend.

    Love to you and your family, Pam Hokanson
