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 |

“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 |

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.
