​Psalm 62... “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”      v. 1-2  
 “Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.”  v. 5-8  NIV

Photograph taken from the top of Chulu Far East 6,059 meter and in the background peak you see from left Chulu East 6,584 meter, Chulu West 6,419 meter.  Chulu Far East Expedition 2020    First climb of Chulu Far East was in 1955 by a German climber. It is located in the north of Ngawal and Manang. To the crampon point (5,400m) of this peak is 275 km far from Kathmandu. I was told it’s easy to climb, but No! This is moderate range of tough peak to climb. Frederik said, it’s harder than Island peak and Mera peak he had done already.     premsnepaltrek.com     facebook.com/prem.rai2

“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;
 come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. 
It is He who made us, and we are His, we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. 
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, give thanks to Him and praise His name.
 For the Lord is good and His love endures forever, His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100, NIV

https://www.ovariancancerosw.org/ This is an Ovarian cancer website that I have subscribed to for several years. This insidious disease is loosing its battle to researchers, patients and medical personnel who want to win life over it. 
Mission: Promote Ovarian cancer awareness and education; support those diagnosed and survivors; and advocate for public policy and funding. 
      Ovarian cancer symptoms include or can vary: 
  • Bloating
  • Difficulty eating, feeling full quickly
  • Abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate​
That means that whether you are facing a new and frightening diagnosis of ovarian cancer, dealing with a recurrence, or have a family member or friend who is, we are here to provide information, support, and most of all, hope. We can be reached at 877-682-2679 or by email at info@ovariancancerosw.org. 
This is another site, found recently, that is great for this list of questions to ask your doctor if you are being sent to a Radiation Oncologist:
 http://www.rtanswers.org/Questions-to-Ask-Your-Doctor/ I cannot endorse any other pages on this website; although they may have reliable information. Before, during and after radiation therapy, many questions come up. It is most beneficial to have these questions available in print, before your first appointment since most often, the patient is the last to know what questions to ask. I recommend also, having a tape recorder or someone less emotionally involved to write down information shared at any/all of your appointments. 
www.ibcresearch.org – a news brief on KTVZ reminded me of Inflammatory Breast Cancer – it is quite different, no solid tumor... PLEASE go to this website or read the brochure I have and become informed. Do Not allow it to be too late for you or your loved ones.
