Janae's back

Good day to everyone.

I am feeling so much better and wanted to get myself back on this. First of all I want to thank all of you for your faith, prayers and concern. None of it is takeen lightly on my part. I went to have another scan about 4 months ago in Seattle and it showed that my tumors were getting smaller. It is slow but there weren't any new ones. Patience! Not best attribute. Dr. Rockhill said that I was doing well enough that he didn't want to see me until June. We just got our appointment and will be having another detailed scan on June 9. Please remember that date and I will get on here and remind you to pray for another good scan. I have got myself on some oxygen water that is sell all over the place. I have done some studing on it andI hope it's one of the reason's I am feeling better. I also was introduced to some "Jus" product by my son -in-law. It has resevertrial in it which makes it better than anything drink out in the market. Quite remarkable stuff. It's made me want to sell it and I'm really not into doing all that. Great for Parkinsons, cancer, insomnia, bone density, lung and breathing capacity. Anyway, I can even play the piano again and type this without taking up too much of my time.

I have been so blessed from our Heaven Father, your prayers and putting my name in the temples across the world. Although this has been the toughest time of my life, it has been a time of blessing and learning that I'm not sure I would have learned anyother way.

Thank-you again all my dear friends. I am feeling better and will keep in touch!

"I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES"
I know that my redeemer lives. What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives my ever living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love. He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed. He lives to bless in time of need.

He lives to grant me rich supply. He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint. He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise heaven'ly Friend. He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives I'll sing. He lives my Prohet, Priest, and KIng.
He lives and grants me daily breath. He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare. He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives!"
He lives! All glory to his name! He lives, my Savior, still the same. Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Be grateful and strong because you know that you are loved!

Good afternoon everyone, this is Janae. I am pretty slow with my typing and I want you to know it's not because I can't spell. It's because I don't want to turn back and correct all my mistakes.

Yes, Once again I know that I have not been awhile. Hang in there with your faith and prayers. Some days are good, and some not so good where I spend much time at the doctor for something....but overall I am well. I did go to Seattle my last visit and my doctor, Rockhill, told me that 4-5 tumors looked like they were getting smaller. The other 4 had not changed and there was no new ones. I have been very sick the month of November and December, throwing up. He changed my medicine and I have been doing better.

Calvin , my real doctor, took me off my steroids and I think I actually feel better but that causes other problems too. The Olympics are killing my nightly routine. Stacia got married and Jared is a week away.

I want to leave with a scripture from the Book of Mormon:

They shall come to the knowledge of their redeemer and the very points of his doctrine, that they may know to come unto him and be saved. 1 Nephi 15:14

Everyone, this is Janae. I hate to start with apologizing but I am embarrassed and this is getting harder for me. Let me get you up to date on my health. I went back over to Seattle and learned that the gamma knife had helped. 5 had gotten smaller and the other eight had stayed the same. None had grown and there was no new ones; The doctor and us were thrilled. They said they usually get worse the first time. I've been home for 3 months having chemo one week out of 4 and scans on my organs to see if we can find where it is coming from in my body. I have a scan on Friday and lab work always, it seems, gives my stomach a lot of trouble. I am working hard at this. I couldn't do it without Calvin.

"As I have loved you, love one another.
This new commandment, love one another.
By this shall man know ye are my disciples
If ye have love one to another."

You are all loved by me. Be good people. Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and cards.
Happy new year!

The Beauty of the Fall Season!

Good morning......early morning to everyone! This is such a beautiful time of year. We had a gal across the river yesterday call and say she had taken some pictures of the house and trees from "her" side and wanted to send them to us. Calvin is going to follow up with her and we will see how they turned out.

My week of heavy chemo was alright during the week. Calvin has been such a great help. I was only on the chemo last week and now the waiting of "help verses hinder starts." It's all about wait from here on out. I will not have much to report so you be patient too. I will be back on line but I'm hoping with other events and not just my cancer story. There are many wonderful things going on in my life...I have two kids getting married!!!!! To wonderful people!!!!!!! Two more grandchildren!!!!!!! Teenagers!!!!!!!! Yes, life is great!!!!!!!

I appreicate all your cards that continue to come and prayers and fasting that have and are taking place. What do people do without friends.
"People, who need people....are the happiest people in the world!"

I have been so blessed with a wonderful family of parents & siblings that pop over and cheer me up, always reaching out to help, comfort and talk. Also my immediate family that I feel I run ragged with impatience and errands. I asked Calvin the other day if I seemed more abrupt and short than I use to be. He quietly so no.....I don't believe him. Love him so much and feel of his love for me.

I've enjoyed the "World Series." Finally something decent on the televeision. I love good movies and seem to watch more T.V. now that I lay around more. Sad to my heart the people in charge of the media entice all the kids and next generation with so much crap! What must the Lord be thinking? To all of us.....our agency. It breaks my heart when I know and most of you do to, the potiantial of our spirits. We are created after out Heavenly Father. Our potiental is never-ending. I'm getting my "Seminary" hat on.

When I was teaching Seminary and would be running out of the house, I would walk past my bed, which is where I say most of my prayers, and I would think of this hymn. Some mornings I would think I "don't have time to pray, I will say them later." This songs always reminded me how simple it is to call upon our Heavenly Father and to think about it more. I would tell myself that I would not want him to tell me he would answer my prayers "later." I want to share it with you in closing my blog.

DID YOU THINK TO PRAY?
Ere you left your room this morning
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ, our Savior
Did you sue for loving favor
As a shield today?

When your heart was filled with anger
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?

When sore trials came upon you
Did you think to pray
When your soul was full of sorrow
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary
Don't forget to pray.

Have a great week! Enjoy the season.

The Beauty of the Fall Season!

More to celebrate

Jared and Hannah are engaged!
We are so excited for them and the love they share. They are great WITH each other and FOR each other. We all adore Hannah and are happily awaiting their March wedding so that she will officially be part of our family! Couldn't be happier for the two of them!!!

HOT DANG! We have some great news. The scan of my organs came back clear! I thank all of you for your faith , concern and prayers and to those of you who participated in the fast. I have heard from some that I didn't send it out soon enough. Some days don't go so well.

They are going to start me on a higher dose of chemo that works along with the Gamma knife on Monday. They also believe it will strongly prevent any cancer to have a chance to spread. They still claim that it's a bit unusal to not see it anywhere else so I will continue to follow their recommendations.

I know many of you are calling. I don't answer my phone. All the caller ID's say "Washington" and it's too much for me to answer the phone every 10 minutes which is truly how often it rings. I need to put me first. I have a answering machine at home that I check often and many of you have my email, plus can respond on the blog. I hope one of those methods can help you keep in touch.

Thanks so much again for your love.
