Thank you,Michael

Following are excerpts from Barbara’s update to those of us on her e-mail list. In addition to information about her tests and treatment, it will tell you a lot about the kind of person she is.

“I continue to be amazed and humbled by the outpour from family/friends (I don't differentiate) and from people all over the world I've never met. Truly you all have been with me every step of the way - I can't tell you what that means, how wrapped in love and prayers that makes me feel. The response has been immediate and wholly present. I am awed and truly humbled. It is LOVE (PRAYER) in action, tangible, incredible, a Force that is felt and appreciated more than you will ever ever know.

“I will preface this by saying I will not have the results of any of these tests I talk about until Tuesday, October 4th, when I next see the oncologist.

“I had a Brain Scan (MRI) on Friday, September 23rd. It went fine. The technician's name was Nora. She looked and sounded like an angel. They are always present in these situations if we but watch for them, and I do.

“On Tuesday, September 27th, I had a Bone Scan. I had another angel-technician, Jim.

“On Wednesday, September 28th, I had a CT guided biopsy. The nurse and doctor were both particularly wonderful, as was the technician who was doing the repeated CT photos. I always acknowledge that when I experience it. It matters and is much appreciated and I make sure they know it. They had to be extremely careful (thank you very much) inserting the needles as the tissue they were aspirating is so close to my aorta. Then I had chest x-rays (to determine if my lung was leaking air from the hole they poked in it and might collapse). It was all pronounced "very good!" Alas, as we know, it could be better, as in All Better, but that's coming.

“I am still preparing as if I'll go to Germany [to the Janker Clinic, where she went 25 years ago to heal from Hodgkin’s disease] [in a few days]. I don't want to wait until Tuesday (after the appointment with the oncologist) to begin preparations. ”The head of radiology [at the Janker Clinic] says I will need to be there for six weeks - at a cost of approximately $40,000.00 US. I am going. Don't know how yet, but that's beside the point.

“The only thing that's changed is I may be going by myself because the ticket/flight I need is $2910.00 and I can't afford two. It will be an undertaking, the way I feel, but we rise to what the occasion calls for. [Because of pain and her pain medications, she had arranged for a friend to escort her and help her.]

“I still have absolutely no clear idea how this trip is going to happen. I just keep putting it out there to the Universe and doing my part in preparing for it and I know God and my Angels will do theirs. It is where I need to be, and they will assist me. In that I have no doubt.”
